The best thing about speed ment is that it can easily connect to different data sources like SQL, Oracle etc., I have used this in my previous projects where i had multiple databases with various schemas hence using ODBC was not an option for me as well since we were moving from one database vendor (Oracle)to another(SQL).It has been very helpful while working at our organization which handles several clients' financial transactions across many countries/jurisdictions - having all of these stored into single system makes things easier-it's also easy enough so even junior level employees will be able understand how each transaction works without any hiccups or issues when accessing them through their respective client interfaces.
