Hi
I have a customer that uses the Enterprise Suite desktop version and their database is approaching 1.4Gb after 12 months of trading. 
I have seen options to compress the Db,  but I do not think it will be enough to allow QB to be used with issues.

I am looking for advice please, on how best to reduce the size of the working Database? 
Can it be reduced after a Year End closedown?
Is there a platform or a version that will allow a larger database to operate without issue? 
Is QB online a solution?
Are there other accounting package that are more suitable?
What are my options please?  

Thank you for taking time to read this.  I look forward to a positive outcome.

Many thanks
