Database Options

Database Architecture – It is Important!

You have the scalability and affordable data management system to fit your company’s needs today without having to pay an upfront premium for future growth. This is possible because Profitool’s applications have connectivity to numerous database technologies that are available on the market today. You can start with the powerful and inexpensive Open Systems, like MySQL; MS SQL Server; or even Oracle, when the demand is needed.

More importantly, you can connect to all the above databases at the same time and be able to migrate from one data platform to another without expensive and disruptive conversion cycles. Compare this to traditional proprietary systems. Profitool’s "Software You’ll Never Outgrow" philosophy is a reality!

DDE - Distributed Data Exchange

What happens if you have an unreliable or nonexistent internet connection? No problem… Distributed Data Exchange (DDE) enables Profitool to be run on a remote server and dynamically exchange information to the main database. It gives a jobsite or remote location the potential of using all the functionality of the system, allowing each site to be distinctly configured so that access is only granted to those procedures that are to be distributed. Furthermore, the home office can control and maintain any aspect of the remote system; such as, cost code lists, vendor rosters, and central purchasing. With Profitool, effective distributed data processing for construction is a reality.

Key Features
  • Provides reliable exchange of data between heterogeneous systems in a distributed network that adapts to the realities of the construction environment

  • Utilizes a two-way message-based protocol that enables remote systems to be a part of a larger network with only necessary data exchanged between systems

  • Guarantees data integrity between systems – even if communications fail during message transfer

  • Uses industry-standard messaging protocols
