✅ Improving Speed in Si+: Best Practises

To increase the performance of your SI+ system, consider the following:

Shared vs. Dedicated Mode and the Impact on Computer Speed

1. Use Dedicated Mode for Intensive Tasks

•Switch to Dedicated Mode for resource-heavy operations like:

•Recalculating suggested purchases

•Updating stock levels

•Processing high-volume data with multiple users

•Dedicated Mode uses more system resources but significantly improves speed.

For everyday tasks such as posting invoices and performing lookups, the speed difference between Shared and Dedicated Mode is minimal.

Some numbers to compare between the Shared mode and Dedicated mode.
Measurements were taken on database with 35 659 items with 7 years of transactions.
   
   - Purchase planning Calculate Suggested & Avg. Sales
        ○ Shared: 21m 38s
        ○ Dedicated: 6m 25s

    - Company > Data Health...>  Recalculate stock levels
        ○ Shared: 30m 56s
        ○ Dedicated: 6m 58s

    - Stock Ext Lookup
        ○ Shared: 5.40 s
        ○ Dedicated: 5.48 s

2. Regularly Rebuild Indexes

•Navigate to Company > Maintenance > Rebuild Indexes

•This cleans up and optimizes database indexes, which helps:

•Speed up lookups

•Improve posting times

•Reduce lag in larger datasets

3. Ensure Good Hardware Specs

•For Dedicated Mode, ensure the server or PC has:

•At least 16 GB RAM

•A fast SSD drive

•Multi-core CPU (e.g., i5 or higher)

•Older PCs may struggle in Dedicated Mode or with large datasets.

4. Limit Network Latency

•For cloud setups or remote offices, speed may be affected by internet quality.

•Use a reliable wired connection where possible, and avoid public Wi-Fi for remote connections.
