JAYBEE Launches SmartButler® MS-SQL Express Based Version

May 2009

MS-SQL Express database to become new default standard.

JAYBEE Systems, the developer of the hotel Guest Service Centre Software SmartButler®, has announced the launch of a new version of SmartButler® that incorporates an MS-SQL database as standard.

The new version works on MS-SQL Express which requires no extra cost for database licenses or configuration.  The transfer of data from the current local database to the new MS-SQL database is quick, secure and entirely transparent to the customer.  Although this version is launched in addition to the versions using a local database and Oracle SQL database, the MS-SQL version of SmartButler® will become the default for new installations in the future.  In addition, customers currently using the local database version will be encouraged to migrate to the new MS-SQL version over time.

The new version provides the ability to install a pure SQL client version without need to configure a shared drive on the network.   In addition to the new database, the new version of SmartButler® also contains new advanced technology for report generation.  This will allow customers to continue to work on SmartButler® whilst complex reports are being generated by the system.

Mr Joseph Ron, JAYBEE's Managing Director, said that migration to MS-SQL is an important step forward for SmartButler®.  “By migrating to the MS-SQL platform, we can provide the latest database technology to all our customers as a built-in feature and without extra cost.  This is an important step towards launching of a web-based version of SmartButler®.  The first web modules will be released during the second half of 2009,” he said.
