Why Your Business Needs to become an Access to SQL Convert?

Not convinced yet? Let’s think about a few reasons you might decide to stick with MS Access for your database.

  • Your business is small, perhaps just you without any employees or freelancers, and it only operates in one location.

  • You do not intend to grow your business, so you do not need the scalability of an online database.

  • Real-time information does not affect your business decisions.

  • You don’t mind paying for the in-house hardware to run your database.

  • You don’t require web or mobile applications for your business or your customers.

  • You don’t have a massive database (using MS Access for big data may slow performance).

You can see from these concepts why you may decide to have your business become an Access to SQL convert. You simply don’t want to tie your hands, so that future expansion of the business is always possible without a major systems overhaul. Why wait until you are growing and then stall the progress while you wait to convert Access to MS SQL?

Help from MS Access Developers for Moving MS Access to the Cloud:

When you are moving MS Access to the cloud, you want the help of experienced MS Access developers who are also highly qualified at MS SQL. This will ensure that the process is smooth. There are a number of steps to making this move from a desktop database to the web. Here are a few things that need to happen:

  1. Data migration (this is also a good time to dedupe your data to improve system performance.) Dedupe - means to remove duplicate data.
  2. Redevelop queries that cannot be migrated naturally.
  3. Redevelop forms to create an intuitive and modern interface for users.
  4. Update reports to provide you with useable data.
  5. Transfer any programming that was originally written in Visual Basic to your SQL database.

While there are migration services from Microsoft that can help speed up the processes, there are things that will not migrate automatically. This is why a professional database consultant is strongly recommended when you decide to make the switch.
