Upgrading can mean many things depending on your current system. In many cases, it involves:
We’ll scope exactly what your upgrade entails during our discovery phase.
Yes, normally the upgrade will involve making your database accessible from anywhere. However, Access is not designed for large-scale remote use in its native file format over WANs. We often move the backend to SQL Server (or another server-based database) and expose a front-end or web interface, which gives better performance and stability across remote offices or from home.
We offer ongoing maintenance, bug fixes, user support, version upgrades, and enhancement services. We can also train your users and help you evolve the system over time as your business changes.
Protecting your data is our top priority, so our typical approach is:
That totally depends on your needs:
If you have a small user base, modest data size, and limited integration needs, staying with Access may suffice.
If you anticipate growth, a lot of concurrent users, large datasets, or need high availability, then moving to SQL Server (or Azure SQL / cloud database) is often the better long-term choice. We’ll help you choose the best path when we analyze your system.
The cost is driven by the scope and complexity of your system. That includes the number of tables, the logic and SQL involved, the number of integration, the UI requirements, data size, and performance constraints. After our preliminary discovery, we’ll provide either fixed price quotes, or ballpark figures, for future works.
As a rough guide: a modest upgrade might cost in the low thousands (AUD); a full migration + web interface might be tens of thousands. Note that these are just estimates and your specific system could differ significantly to please talk to us to get more accurate figures.
