FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE LOS ANGELES, Calif., February 15, 2009 - Applied Business Software Inc. (?ABS?), developer of The Mortgage Office?, the leading loan servicing software solution for the lending industry, is pleased to announce the release of The Mortgage Office (SQL)?, a new product which provides full compatibility with Microsoft SQL Server. The integration between The Mortgage Office? and Microsoft SQL Server will offer ABS? growing network of over 2,900 licensees a seamless growth path to a more robust database engine, and eliminates the scalability issues for data size and number of users commonly associated with the Microsoft Jet Engine. ABS realizes its customers have a wide range of database needs, and choosing the right database technology is challenging at best. Commonly, many organizations struggle with deciding whether they should be using Microsoft Jet Engine or Microsoft SQL Server. Both technologies are powerful and established database alternatives with their unique strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, to meet this challenge, ABS now provides two distinct versions of The Mortgage Office? - One using the Microsoft Jet Engine, and the other using Microsoft SQL Server. ABS customers may now start with the low-cost and low-maintenance Microsoft Jet Engine version, and then when their business growth demands it, upgrade to the Microsoft SQL Server version. Jerry Delgado, president of ABS, stated, ?This is another major milestone for Applied Business Software and for The Mortgage Office? in particular, which continues to be at the forefront of technology. The added scalability and performance of Microsoft SQL Server offers the data management and functionality needed to run The Mortgage Office? in large organizations with high-volume data processing needs.?
