Why convert from Access?

Microsoft Access provides a fast, easy tool that has been indispensable for enterprise workgroups. But there are hurdles to overcome:

  • Each Access DB requires its own admin
  • Access database size has hard limits
  • Data queries cannot be run across databases
  • Data security can be an issue
  • Fault tolerance issues can put enterprise data at risk
  • Each Access MDB is a forms based application with maintenance needs
  • Lack of well documented backup procedures for ensuring data integrity
ReGen Conversion Services for Microsoft Access
Convert Legacy Access Applications to .NET

ReGen Conversion Service (RCS) for Microsoft Access provides enterprises with an efficient way to migrate Microsoft Access 97 and higher applications to the .NET platform.

Once migrated, your enterprise applications are more stable, more maintainable, more secure, and more adaptable than your existing line of business applications. Data that was previously maintained on a single server and accessed by a single user can now be maintained in a storage cluster which is available to multiple users with multiple logins.

Flexible Business Processes
Migrating to a .NET architecture, enables business process improvements. Multiple users can access the data concurrently in accordance with strict business rules where each user can be granted specific privileges to specific pieces of data. The result is a data model which can support business processes that meet the rigorous compliance and security needs of several new pieces of legislation such as Sarbanes-Oxley, Graham Leach Bliley, and HIPAA. 

ProtoGroup Methods and Conversion Efficiency
Many enterprises have the expertise to undertake this type of migration on their own. However, ProtoGroup can accomplish the same task in less time and for less money than companies using internal resources. ProtoGroup can accomplish this because of our extensive experience doing conversions and because we have access to proprietary conversion tools which simplify the forms conversion process.

ProtoGroup follows a strict migration process for doing the data conversions. Each step in the process has specific deliverables so you are aware of the progress of your migration. Hiring ProtoGroup to attend to conversion matters allows your technical resources to focus on more pressing business matters such as working with customers and developing new revenue streams.

ReGen Results and Resulting Benefits
Users are comfortable with the resulting applications because the newly migrated applications appear and behave like the pre-conversion Access applications.
