Access & SQL Databases
Depending on your needs we have a database solution for you. If you have a small budget or relatively low data needs (less than 100,000 records of data) we can provide you with an Access Database and save you money. If you are an larger enterprise size company and require the full robustness and raw power of a SQL database we can certainly integrate with that as well.
Like other Microsoft products, Access Database has a familiar Windows look and feel. While you will usually connect to the database through a web interface if we create a storefront or content management system for you, we also have the option of simply downloading and providing you with a current copy of the database that you can open and edit directly (similar to Excel) if need be.
Microsoft Access is one of the best-selling desktop databases of all time so you can be sure of future support. Because Microsoft is constantly improving their database you can be sure that your investment is future-proof. Microsoft Access is not a dead end product. The popularity of Access with database developers provides you with lower development rates consistent with a competitive market place. And the best part is Access has an upgrade path. So, if performance starts to suffer from an ever increasing number of users or records, you can upsize to SQL Server. Start of with a database that meets your needs, and avoid the additional costs of SQL Server until you actually need it. (Most websites will never actually need an upgrade as SQL Server is overkill for probably 99.9% of the websites out there.)
Access can import many data formats so your existing data is not lost. This allows us to easily take information about your company and pre-load the data that may be needed for your storefront or website. When properly exploited, and electronic data is available, this feature alone can save 100s of data input hours
