Bring Us Your Ideas

Let us handle the programming. We develop applications from the ground up, whether it is an initial idea or an existing complete application. We can turn your concept into a fully functional Access application. As experts in database design methodology and NM3 design standards, we can easily translate your ideas into your own real-world application.

Our Microsoft Access development and support services include:

• Traditional multi-user .mdb database 
• Split file (front-end/back-end) architecture
• Linked MS SQL back-end
• .adp (Access data project, SQL back-end)
• Compiled (VBA code secure) .mde
• Secure .mdb
• Redistributable (Runtime) applications

The type of application we develop depends on your requirements, budget and environment. Contact us to discuss which option is the best fit for your application.

Upgrades To Existing MS Access Applications

We can upgrade a database from Access 97 or earlier and bring it to Access 2003/2007 standards, freshen the application by giving it a redesign, and add new features and reports to bring it up to the performance and reliability levels of your modern infrastructure.

Create An MS Access Application From Another Platform

Convert any database to Access. 

We will convert dBase, Paradox, FoxPro, Alpha 5, Filemaker and other database conversions to Access applications. Bring us any file-based or relational database application (including Excel) and we'll convert it to a multi-user Microsoft Access solution. There are significant differences between the various database devlopment environments, so we'll point out where Microsoft Access is a good fit and where it isn't. If Access isn't the right choice, we'll direct you to the right platform for your project.

Convert An Existing Microsoft Access Application to Another Platform

When you're ready to move from Access to another database platform, we can take any MS Access database and convert it to a more appropriate plaform for your needs. The most common conversion paths include upgrade to a Web-based application or a traditional Windows desktop application with SQL or MySQL back-end.

Existing Application Enhancements

We can add new features to your existing Access database such as new reports or new logic to enable your new business requirements. You don't have to be an Access expert to communicate your feature request to us. Simply tell us what you want your existing application to do, and we'll figure out the current code and necessary modifications to bring your ideas to fruition.

Application Hosting and Support

When your data needs to reside in a secure, highly accessible, 24x7 location, we can provide application hosting for you. Our datacenters provide a safe and fully-secure hosting platform for your back-end data protected by Enterprise-class firewalls. Hosted on MSSQL or MySQL servers, the data is backed-up according to your data retention requirements. The front-end can be your Access .adp or a Web-based front-end.

Ongoing Access Support

Many clients rely on us for long-term application support and maintenance. If you don't have the means to support your application on your own, we can provide ongoing, outsourced, support. We have several tools that allow us to connect to your servers and desktops remotely to maintain your database and keep it running at maximum efficiency. We also offer retainer and Extended Service Agreements (ESAs) in order to provide you with ongoing application enhancements according to your expanding needs.

Broken or Poorly Performing Microsoft Access Applications

Since Access is easy to use, oftentimes non-professional developers create very complex applications that eventually succumb to basic architectural flaws - subsequently causing your application to fail, slow down, or corrupt your data. This can occur when poorly formed queries are written, or database relationships are not crafted efficiently, or concurrecy issues are encountered when (for example) sub-forms are employed in a multi-user environment. Sometimes complex to sort out, these problems are our specialty. We have helped many organizations sort out very difficult to solve problems.
