Why is Sage selling a Microsoft product?  These days the tech industry is all about coopetition; a basic principle described in Game Theory by John Nash where competitive companies cooperate. “What is best for the group is best for an individual in the group”.

Microsoft SQL has become the database of choice for Sage ERP Accpac, and many other Sage products, as it is fast and efficient.  What more details?  Talk to our techy, programmer, IT Ninja Matt@Unisoft.net and he will chat your ear off for days about why this combination provides superior environment. Ask him about Accpac with Pervasive or just about any other DB and you might as well run for the hills. So what is the deal anyways…
