## Key concepts

### PowerOn

PowerOn is a procedural language which provides a direct interface to the Symitar database. It offers record accessors which map directly to the Symitar Record Structure as well as some in-built utility functions to serve as tools when constructing a PowerOn specfile.

You can read more about PowerOn on the [Jack Henry eDocs](https://learnmore.symitar.com/edocs/#enus/GUID-EBB88D3C-A99F-4472-9E6B-6B382DADCD60.html).
