   Besides features and functionality, one of the main differences between
low-end PC software packages and even many mid-tier back-office solutions and the truly scalable, industrial-strength Fitrix applications is the database technology "under the hood." Growing small and medium-size businesses today want business applications with the technology infrastructure that can scale to support many users simultaneously accessing large amounts of transactional and analytical data. To do that, savvy customers know they need a high-performance, low-maintenance SQL relational database engine like the one that's built into Fitrix.
