With prior versions of JobBoss, users had the option to deploy Microsoft’s Access relational database, which has a 2-GB database size limit, he noted. Originally written in CO- BOL in 1984, the software later moved to the Access platform.


Lechleitner said the package has had a mixture of Access and SQL components, but Version 11.7 will be a 100% SQL database platform. JobBoss comes in three versions—Starter, Professional and Enterprise Editions. The Professional and Enterprise versions include a ShopBoss scheduling tool for prioritizing and al- locating workloads in real time based on customer demands.

“The big reason that both we and other solutions have moved away from Access is really because of its under- lying technology. Access was really designed for low transactional data sets—not a lot of activity hitting on a literally minute-by-minute basis,” he added. “So what SQL provides the end user is more comfort and security, and much less database corruption issues— the database is rock-solid.” With quality holding high priority, Exact signed a partnership agreement in July with uniPoint (Winnepeg, MB, Canada), a developer of quality soft- ware, under which uniPoint’s quality management software modules will be offered within JobBoss. “What we found in the marketplace is that a lot of ERP solutions would have embedded solutions for quality but when it comes to nonconformance, corrective actions, and maintenance, that’s where most embedded solutions stop,” Lechleitner said. JobBoss Quality by uniPoint adds quality-specifi c modules for auditing, AS9100 compliance, customer service, supplier management, validation and many other quality elements.
