MS Access Expertise

MS Access as a Development Platform: We strongly believe that MS Access offers some excellent development opportunities. We have in excess of 18 person years of programming in MS Access including some highly complex applications. MS Access is a superb platform for development work in situations when:

• the project is completely new
• collaborative work is required between the user and developer
• the user has all the ideas in their head but does not have the time or  inclination to describe requirements on paper
• speed of development is of essence
• budgetary restrictions  are tight
• the number of users is limited
• Data replication is required between remote locations
• Easy reporting capabilities are desired
• there is  requirement to scale up from Excel, FileMaker, FoxPro etc.
• Scale up well to SQL Server
• there is need for tight Integration with MS Office programs
• Low ongoing maintenance costs is desired.

Contrary to belief, MS Access offers benefits such as security, speed of response, and maintenance
