This case study highlights how The Farber Consulting Group, Inc. transformed a large, undocumented MS Access application into a full web-based ERP solution for a chemical manufacturer. By stabilizing the legacy system, reverse engineering embedded business logic, migrating data to SQL Server, and developing a modern ERP using C# and .NET, the team delivered a scalable platform that unified inventory, production, accounting, CRM, and reporting while maintaining uninterrupted operations.

Microsoft Access works fine for small, single-user systems, but it often freezes, locks, slows down, or crashes when several people use it at the same time or when data grows. This happens because Access is file-based, has a 2 GB limit, and cannot handle heavy multi-user activity without conflicts or corruption. Migrating Access to SQL Server fixes these problems by moving data to a secure, server-based engine that supports true concurrency, better performance, and stronger data integrity. You can still keep your Access forms as a front-end while SQL Server manages the backend. The Farber Consulting Group, Inc. helps businesses perform smooth Access-to-SQL Server migrations so systems run faster, stay stable, and scale with growth.
