MS Access Database Cloud Conversions

We turn fragile, single-user Microsoft Access databases into secure, multi-user, cloud-hosted web applications — without losing the business logic you depend on.

From Access bottleneck to cloud platform

Departmental Microsoft Access databases have a way of quietly becoming mission-critical — and then becoming a liability. They run on a single machine, only one person really knows how to use them, they break under concurrent use, and there's no path to mobile, security, or the cloud.

We've made this our specialty: preserving the business logic you rely on while rebuilding it as a secure, multi-user, cloud-hosted web application. The State Bar of Georgia and Rollins both ran core processes out of Access — today those run as modern web platforms their teams operate themselves.

Why replatform

Signs an Access app has outgrown itself

If a few of these sound familiar, it's usually time to move to the cloud.

📍
01

Tied to one office

It lives on a network share — no real remote or mobile access for your team.

🔒
02

Locking & corruption

Concurrent users hit Access's file-locking limits, with real risk of corruption.

🧩
03

Logic trapped in VBA

Business rules are buried in macros, VBA, and hundreds of saved queries.

🛡️
04

No real security or audit

Limited access control, little audit trail, and fragile backups.

🔌
05

Manual, not integrated

Data moves by hand-run imports and exports instead of live integrations.

📈
06

Can't keep scaling

Growth, compliance, and reporting needs have outpaced what Access can do.

How we do it

We don't do risky big-bang rewrites. We use a strangler-fig migration: stand up modern cloud services alongside your existing data, move functionality over in slices, and run the old and new side by side until the Access file can be retired.

The data moves from flat, loosely-related Access tables into a normalized, constraint-backed SQL database. The interface is rebuilt as a secure web application your team reaches from anywhere — with real multi-user access, role-based security, and an audit trail. Reporting and documents are regenerated server-side, and manual imports give way to live integrations.

The result runs on a modern cloud stack — typically ASP.NET Core with a single-page web UI on Azure (Azure SQL, app/container hosting, cloud storage, and Entra ID security) — built to scale and to last.
