Microsoft Access Strategic Modernization Audit

•  Avoid downtime & data loss that could cost thousands.
   
• See the future clearly — know whether to keep, extend, or migrate your Access system.
   
• Budget with confidence — no more guessing what modernization will cost.

Your Microsoft Access databases are the backbone of critical operations — from reporting and analytics to workflow automation. But as your business evolves, an older or poorly maintained Access application can become a risk: slower performance, data integrity issues, security gaps, and uncertainty about future compatibility.

We’ve spent over 20 years enhancing and modernizing complex Access solutions. Our experience has shown that the earlier you assess and plan, the more you can extend the life — and value — of your existing systems.

We created a 10-Point Future-Readiness Inspection to evaluate whether your Access application is prepared to handle the tasks your business will demand in the coming years.

Each point focuses on a high-impact area that directly affects reliability, scalability, and cost:

1. Architecture & Table Design – Check for normalized structure, indexing, and size limits.
2. Data Integrity & Relationships – Verify key constraints and     referential integrity.
3. Performance & Query Optimization – Identify slow queries and inefficient joins.
4. Front-End / Back-End Split – Evaluate how well the database is structured for multi-user environments.
5. Integration & Automation – Review how macros, VBA, or linked systems affect long-term maintainability.
6. Security & User Permissions – Audit for outdated security models or risky direct table access.
7. Version Compatibility & Platform Risk – Assess potential impact of future Office and Windows updates.
8. Backup & Recovery Strategy – Examine data protection and disaster recovery readiness.
9. Scalability & Growth Planning – Identify limits that may cause performance drops as data volume grows.
10. Modernization Options – Explore paths such as SQL Server migration, Power Platform integration, or hybrid cloud solutions.
