Microsoft Access Database Analysis

There's nothing more frustrating than having a database that's your responsibility doing more harm than good. It could be an odd relationship structure, forms that make things a bit more difficult than they should, or any number of issues surrounding your databases that make users avoid them.

What makes this worse is trying to get help. You can browse online for hours and read pages upon pages of bad advice written by people that have no business developing databases. You can ask your co-workers, but chances are you're in charge of these databases because you're the qualified one. Then there's always thumbing through a huge Access Mega-Bible where you can read all sorts of information that would make a book of stereo instructions weep.

Our Microsoft Access database analysis is the perfect solution to these issues. Instead of leaving your database in disrepair - or worse seeking help from strangers who don't really care about your issue - you can put our experience and love of database technology to work for you.

Here's how we do it:

  1. We have a quick chat about your needs and project to identify your concerns and questions.
  2. With a copy of your database (with trimmed records, if necessary) we get to work analyzing relationships, table structure, data and user interface. We match our breadth of experience directly with your project.
  3. We create a comprehensive report - including screenshots, notes, and examples - illustrating the issues your database may have, how to correct them, recommendations for better efficiency and a concise plan for implementing changes.
  4. With our report in hand, you can get started addressing the problem areas in your database one by one, or begin a re-design.
  5. As long as you have follow-up questions about what's covered in our analysis of your project, we'll be there to answer them!

We don't take your place during a database analysis. Our priority isn't to re-design your database, but we will put our years of experience with database projects large and small to work for you. We offer thorough recommendations, and frame your specific needs within our years of experience and expertise. Our focus is always on fundamental relational database design, and our philosophy is to make sure every database is efficient and simple for users to operate.

Our fee for Access Database Analysis starts at $100, and increases only depending on the complexity of the database. Everything starts with a few questions and an exchange of ideas. There's no need to wait, contact us today and we can begin helping with your project immediately!
