The Single Connect Multitenancy functionally enables an architecture in which a single instance serves multiple customers while preventing them from affecting each other. Each customer is designated as a tenant. Tenants may be given the ability to customize some portions of the application. Tenants are logically isolated from each other, and each tenant’s data remains invisible to other tenants. 

Multitenant architecture has the flexibility to provide services to multiple companies or organizations within a company simultaneously, resulting in a more cost-effective solution than single-tenant architecture. This solution is also less time-consuming, as a company does not have to set up separate instances for each organization or each tenant company while enabling a single instance update/upgrade for every tenant.
