Why Use MS SQL Server for an ERP System?

MS SQL Server is one of the world’s most popular database management systems. It provides a relational database architecture that’s based on Structured Query Language (SQL), a flexible and powerful system that allows organizations to store and access huge amounts of data across large networks and numerous different apps.

Microsoft introduced the original version of this SQL database system in 1989, and it’s evolved numerous times since to become the foundational database management system for hundreds of business software products. Today, the latest versions of the MS SQL Server software are built for robust, enterprise-grade database management.

MS SQL Server offers many qualities that make it a great fit for ERP systems, such as:

  • Mature and well-tested technology with a large community of skilled developers

  • Versatile automation technology for auto-generating queries and reports

  • Options for storing and accessing data in a wide variety of formats

  • Ability to easily access data using other tools in the Microsoft ecosystem, including Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Power BI

  • Support for APIs that allow a database to be integrated into an entire suite of business applications and modules, from CRM systems to supply chain management tools

  • Ability to extract data from other database systems, including flat file systems and MySQL, through Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services

With these notable advantages, it’s easy to see why so many of today’s top ERP software packages use Microsoft SQL Server databases. Popular choices such as Microsoft Dynamics and SAP Business One combine the power and adaptability of SQL with modern user interfaces that make them accessible to a wider variety of users than ever before.
