SQL or dBase guidance

[MicroZealous]

Hello all. Here's our situation:
We are running Goldmine version 5.50 using dBase. We have 15 users now, may have 20 by year end. We have over 800,000 records, and plan to get to 1 million soon. Are there technical reasons why we should upgrade to the SQL version? I'm new to Goldmine and this company(1 month).
Thanks in advance.

With that many records, the time it takes to perform database maintenance alone would justify the expense involved in migrating to SQL. Under SQL you should only very rarely need to maintain the databases resulting in a lot more up-time for your 15-20 users and a lot less standing around the coffee machine waiting for the server to fix a little index issue.
