Microsoft Modernization (Access, Excel/VBA to NET & SQL Server)

Are your workflows being slowed down by an outdated Access database, runtime errors, complex Excel spreadsheets, or overloaded VB/VBA scripts?

soxes modernizes old Microsoft solutions like Access, Excel, and VB/VBA into secure, scalable, and efficient systems based on .NET and SQL Server.

In this article, you will learn that

• outdated tools like Access or VBA endanger the security and efficiency of your company.
• a migration to .NET and SQL Server can bring stability and future-proofing.
• Web and .NET solutions can increase scalability and user-friendliness.

Access, Excel, or VBA have proven themselves in many companies over years and are often the basis of important processes. However, with increasing data volumes and more complex requirements, these solutions reach their limits. Microsoft Re-engineering means further developing these proven applications, preserving their strengths, and at the same time making them more powerful, secure, and flexible through modern technologies like .NET or SQL Server.

The focus is not on replacement at any cost, but on targeted further development. In this way, existing systems are meaningfully optimized, integrated, and opened up for the future, without losing proven structures.

What does soxes understand by Microsoft Re-Engineering?

We modernize applications that are based on Microsoft technologies such as Access, Excel, VBA, or older .NET frameworks. Instead of developing everything anew, we specifically transfer existing solutions into a modern architecture, for example, with .NET, SQL Server, Azure Services, or Power Platform.
This is how organically grown isolated solutions become integratable, scalable systems that run securely, allow updates, and are viable in the long term.

Many SMEs start with Excel or Access. It is logical, fast, and inexpensive. However, if this develops into a central business process, the solution reaches its limits. Our approach: Further develop, modernize, integrate, without reinventing the core.

If one of these points applies to your company, a Microsoft Re-Engineering is urgently recommended:

• Outdated technologies like Access or old VB scripts are slowing down your processes.
• Compatibility problems complicate integration with new systems.
• Security vulnerabilities endanger data and increase the risk of attacks.
• Inefficiency due to slow processing and manual work steps.
• High maintenance costs because qualified developers and updates are lacking.
• Lack of flexibility to accommodate new business requirements.
• Poor user experience, which reduces productivity and motivation.

In short: Old platforms lead to higher costs, increasing risks, and a clear competitive disadvantage compared to modern solutions.

• Results-oriented modernization: We don’t just optimize existing systems; we create measurable improvements in efficiency, speed, and user-friendliness.
• Expanded range of functions: Your software grows with your company through new features and modern interfaces.
• Increased efficiency: Processes are simplified and accelerated; productivity increases noticeably.
• Better analytics: With modern data management, you receive more meaningful reports and bases for decision-making.
• Long-term investment security: Your applications remain technologically relevant, maintainable, and cost-efficient.

Our conclusion: Microsoft Re-Engineering is not a one-time IT project, but a strategic step. Companies that modernize early not only gain stability, but also use their software as a real competitive advantage.

With our Slice & Dice method, we modernize your enterprise software in just four steps. Without a big bang and without interrupting operations.

With KUBE-X, functionalities are covered with standard services wherever possible. This allows developer time and therefore costs to be massively reduced. Your enterprise software is thus ideally prepared for the future.

Because once your application is established on the KUBE-X platform, new standard functions (so-called Standard KUBES) can be activated at any time with a mouse click. This allows our customers to have all the advantages and freedoms of individual development combined with the benefits of a standard solution.

The advantage: Your software becomes fit for the future. New functions can be activated with a mouse click, while our developers have more time for individual requirements. This is how you combine the flexibility of proprietary development with the benefits of a standard solution.

This is how soxes has efficiently used its KUBE-X development platform!
