Flex2SQL's plug-in approach allows companies to adopt relational database technologies without expensive source level changes. As America's largest dealer of used cameras and photographic products KEH had outgrown the constraints of their existing DataFlex system.

Prior to the transition KEH experienced constant business interruptions due to database errors and application incompatibilities. "Now we have fewer errors and no interruptions due to database corruption," states Arturo Valdez, IT Manager at KEH.

The quality of assistance of Mertech during this has been great. It is the most useful technical service I ever had and the results are tangible." About KEH Camera Brokers, Inc.
