Migrations & Upgrades
Moving on from Excel
Many businesses choose Excel as their main data management tool, given its familiarity and availability. However, over the years, this often leads to multiple spreadsheets that are difficult to manage, and results in fragmented data.
We can migrate these spreadsheets into Access, thereby consolidating all your data. We will work with you to design and develop a clear and user friendly application, providing simple data entry forms, and 1-click reports. This can be done with a stand-alone database, or a 'hub & spokes' database enabling multiple users to use the application at the same time.
Additional functionality can also be provided to further increase efficiency, such as:
-
automatic generation of emails, letters, PDFs and Word documents
-
user security to provide relevant access according to their role
-
links to multiple data sources
-
custom reporting including graphs & charts
Upgrading Access
It is not uncommon for businesses to still be using a database that was developed on a much older version of Access. Not only does this often greatly reduce the performance of the database, but it also limits what you can do given it does not have the enhanced functionality of today's Access. We can quickly and easily migrate your application onto the latest version of Access, and will explain all the additional functionality that it brings, integrating it into your new application if required.
