8. Legume’s Special Design
Legume stores everything as separate fields of data, in different data types, indexed and tagged. Each piece can now be tracked and managed.
Any data you have – tables, records, trees, networks, objects, etc. – can be converted into separate fields and back again.
Legume comes with tools that handle conversions, making it easy to convert your data to/from Legume, or interface with other products.
Legume can add flexibility to existing databases .

9. Legume is Scalable
Legume gives each field a universal ID, so it can be copied from one database to another without conflicts.
Legume gives each field timestamps for managing the publication, distribution, storage, and archival of data between systems.
Legume uses a symmetric design, replicated as needed to provide modularity and scalability in many directions.

10. Upgrade your system incrementally
Keep your budget under control and avoid disruptions:
Build a Common Library of previous projects, manufacturer specifications and catalogs.
Keep a Master Project database to act as the ultimate project reference, for new reporting and analysis capabilities.
Resolve discrepancies between CAD files, analysis files, bills of materials, and other data kept in separate data systems.
Add new tools to existing spreadsheets, forms, and reports.
Replace or augment legacy databases with a more flexible one.
And much more…
