Complex software? We support you with your Access development!

Microsoft Access is a database management software that provides a user-friendly environment for creating databases, forms, reports and queries. Access is often used for small to medium-sized database applications. Does your Access application sometimes reach its limits? We have solutions if you need support with the development complexity of MS Access.

Development complexity in Microsoft Access

Access, although a powerful tool for small to medium-sized databases, can reach its limits with more complex projects. Compared to more advanced database management systems (DBMS), Access offers certain limitations in terms of functionality and extensibility. This can lead to complications when it comes to processing large amounts of data, implementing complex business logic or developing comprehensive applications.

Structured planning and data modelling: Detailed planning and careful data modelling are crucial to mastering the complexity in Access. By clearly structuring the database, creating meaningful relationships between tables and analysing the application requirements, we can identify and solve potential problems at an early stage.

Modular approach and use of VBA (Visual Basic for Applications): Using modular approaches and implementing VBA can help extend functionality in Access. By creating customised functions, macros and automations, our developers can significantly improve the performance of Access and adapt it to specific requirements.

Migration to advanced DBMS solutions: For projects that exceed the limits of Access, migration to more advanced database management systems such as SQL Server, MySQL or Postgres SQL can be considered. This enables the use of extended functions and offers more scalability for more extensive and complex applications.

The need for multi-user access and role-based permissions has become an essential part of database management. Organisations are increasingly recognising that simultaneous access to databases by multiple users is required to create more efficient and collaborative working environments. The migration of Access databases to modern web applications offers a promising solution to meet these requirements. A notable example of this is the replacement with advanced platforms based on KUBE-X. These modern web applications not only enable improved multi-user access, but also offer comprehensive options for managing role-based rights. Compared to Access databases, they offer advanced security mechanisms, including encryption technologies, authentication methods and access controls at various levels. These additional security features minimise potential security risks and protect sensitive company data more effectively.
