Company Databases

DEACOM gives customers the ability to manage multiple companies with different vendors, customers, products, and production methods through the creation of multiple company databases. In some cases where companies share vendors, customers, and products but require separate reporting, setting up separate Facilities may be a better option. The steps required to create a new company, minimum setup requirements, and details on user security across multiple companies are detailed via the Building a Multi-Company DEACOM Environment Best Practice page.
