This technology utilizes a Microsoft Structured Query Language (SQL) Server database to store patient information.

Per the vendor, this technology is still supported; however, new instances of this technology are no longer available for purchase. The vendor has stated that new users interested in this software should instead look into adopting the Connex Central Station (CS) software.
