Access and Excel migration: a business application to replace the files that run your operations.
We take the rules your Access databases and Excel workbooks apply today and turn them into a business application, increment by increment, without stopping your operations. Paid on results.
An Access database set up ten years ago by someone who has since moved on, Excel workbooks linked together by macros: they run part of your operations, and nobody ever decided they should.
As long as all is well, they cost nothing. The day the file gets corrupted, two people need to work on it at the same time, or its author leaves, your operations grind to a halt.
- An Access or Excel file has become critical to operations
- Only one person knows how it works
- Versions circulate by email, and nobody knows which one is authoritative
- The macros break with every Office update
- Several people need to work on it at the same time, and cannot
- Mid-sized companies, large enterprises and the public sector
- Software that is critical to operations, not a side tool
- A need nobody sells, or that vendors only half cover
- A project budget, and senior management backing the project
- A consumer mobile app
- A brochure website or an e-commerce site
- A start-up prototype still searching for its market
- A team of developers on time and materials
- The rules in your files read, written down and checked with the people who use them
- A multi-user business application, with access rights and a full history
- Your data migrated and checked, with inconsistencies flagged along the way
- The code, the documentation and the tests, all yours
- An Access file converted as is into another tool
- A shared online spreadsheet in place of the original
- A “no-code” application that nobody will be able to maintain
- Time-and-materials staffing, billed by the day
Free, and no demo. We listen to your situation and tell you whether we are the right people to help. If we are not, we say so.
Two to three weeks, at a price stated before we start. You receive the written scope, the breakdown into increments and a fixed price for the first one.
You decide on it with the scope and the price in front of you. It goes live rather than being demonstrated, and is judged on real use before the next one begins.
One increment at a time, each priced before it starts. You can stop at the end of any of them, and we can then take over maintenance.
Describe your situation.
A few lines are enough. Your message goes straight to the engineers who will do the scoping, and the first call is free.
