Copy / Create Company

This feature enables you to create multiple Ostendo databases on your network. Each company can be accessed in accordance with the User Signon Codes entered into that company. This feature is very useful for:

•	Enabling a multi-company facility, and

•	Copying an existing database and then using that for testing potential or actual changes before adding the change to the ‘Live’ system.
