In short, Dimensions Lite is opening up the enormous advantages of SQL-based solutions to companies with smaller and smaller IT budgets - placing leading technology within easy reach of almost every business in the UK.

Microsoft's MSDE SQL database

MSDE (Microsoft Desktop Engine) is a free version of Microsoft SQL Server - the industry standard database used by many of the world's leading companies. It differs from SQL Server in two principal ways: it is restricted to a maximum of 5 users and is supplied without Microsoft's Enterprise Manager utilities.

Access is compensating for the removal of Enterprise Manager by providing its own Administrator Module, with full facilities for datafile back-up and restore, and for configuration of users.

Dimensions Lite - the complete business solution

With its 33 seamlessly integrated modules and enormous potential for seamless integration, Dimensions Lite is the definitive back-office solution for small and medium sized companies. It based upon tried and tested Access technology and forms an integral part of the uniquely scalable Access Accounts range of solutions - a range that is currently in use by over 10,000 businesses around the world.

With Microsoft SQL Server at its core, Dimensions Lite offers these key benefits:

  • True 32-bit technology for up to 10 concurrent users
  • Greater processing speed & increased data capacity
  • An industry standard database for easy, company-wide integration
  • Excellent levels of security & detailed segregation of duties
  • Superior data stability & full rollback facilities
  • Full multi-currency functionality across all modules

State of the art functionality

And many of its 33 modules offer functionality that simply does not exist outside of Access Accounts, including:
  • Executive Desktop - a fully integrated business intelligence and KPI information system
  • .NET facilities - for secure, remote operation through a standard web browser
  • API (Application Programming Interface) and SDK (Software Development Kit) for seamless integration with other business systems
  • VBA Add-ins for Microsoft Office - simple, highly effective 2-way links between your accounts datafiles and Microsoft Office applications (Excel, Word and Project)
  • XML capabilities system-wide (to BASDA e-BIS standards)
