Work from home with Access online.
You don’t need an MS Access alternative to have an online database. You and your coworkers can use an Access database from home or anywhere you have an Internet connection. For example, connect to a smart phone’s WiFi hot spot and use your database outdoors at a park.
However, I’m not talking about Citrix, or LogMeIn or RDPing into another PC. Because these methods are not necessary, nor is a literal Microsoft Access alternative, merely to have an online business application. Therefore, you can have your cake (MS Access) and eat it too (online) for a negligible ongoing cost. The typical cost is under $10.00/month for data hosting on the MS Azure cloud-based platform
One time up front charge
For a one time charge, we migrate your data to an SQL Database in Microsoft Azure Cloud Services. SQL Database is the online version of MS SQL Server. Secondly, we perform all the necessary coding to the front-end to efficiently manage data transfers and updates. Your only ongoing cost is the minuscule monthly payment for data hosting with Microsoft Azure.
The below screen shot is of a mission critical MS Access database. This database manages every aspect of a public safety training and certification program for the state of California. It is highly complex and was developed over a period of ten years and largely a full time effort. But the training academy wanted to have remote users, able to fully administer the entire operation from home.
Another business was paid a large sum of money to rebuild this database as a web application. But after more than a year and nothing to show for it, the training institution turned to Access Developer 4 Hire.
Consequently, we cloud enabled the database so it can be used from home and no retraining was necessary because everything works identically as before. Therefore, rebuilding scores of existing complex reports with web languages was not necessary, saving many tens of thousands of dollars.
If you think you need an Access Alternative to have a multi-user MS Access online database, then think again. Consider the investment of a hybrid MS Access cloud-based solution as the best alternative to MS Access. Call 512-202-7121 today for a free consultation.
