Microsoft Access solutions: secure, fast, future-proof.
accelco is a dedicated Microsoft Access specialist. We bring the Access applications in your company up to an IT-compliant standard – and, if you wish, carry them over into modern web and database architectures.
Access tools built by power users become indispensable over time without anyone planning it. We raise them to an IT-compliant standard – and hand them back to you or keep looking after them.
Good to know: AI does not generate Access files
Access applications (.accdb/.mdb) with tables, forms, reports and VBA logic currently cannot be generated by any AI system – Copilot & Co. deliver isolated code fragments at best. Anyone who wants to build, secure, maintain or modernise an Access solution still needs people with experience. That is exactly our speciality – and we use AI where, connected to an existing solution, it delivers real value.
Why this matters
Access tools are built quickly, solve real problems and then quietly become the backbone of individual processes. The risk grows with them: data protection breaches, data loss under concurrent access, dependence on individual people, performance problems and a lack of traceability. We turn the sprawl into an orderly, secure application landscape – without slowing the business down.
What we do for your Access applications
Inventory
We record all Access applications in the company: purpose, users, data flows, dependencies and criticality – the basis for every decision.
Assessment & IT-compliant upgrade
Each application is assessed by risk and value and raised to an IT-compliant standard: structure, documentation, versioning, permissions.
Data protection
Personal data is identified, access is regulated in line with GDPR, and deletion concepts and logging are implemented.
Works council requirements
We take co-determination and works agreements into account from the outset – for example on performance and behaviour monitoring – and document everything traceably.
Data security
Encryption, role and permission concepts, backup strategies and protection against unauthorised access to front end and back end.
Performance & multi-user operation
Stable operation for many concurrent users: front-end/back-end separation, optimised queries, clean locking and significantly shorter response times.
Upsizing to a database server
Migration of the back end to SQL Server, Azure SQL or other database servers – the interface stays familiar at first, the data becomes secure and scalable.
Connecting AI systems
We link existing Access solutions to AI systems – for document analysis, classification, text summaries or assistants right inside the familiar interface – without having to rebuild the application.
Migration to web applications
When Access reaches its limits, we transfer the application step by step into a modern web application – browser-based, mobile-ready, centrally operated.
How we proceed
Inventory
Record all Access files and their use across the company.
Assessment
Risk, criticality and effort per application – with a clear recommendation.
Stabilisation
IT-compliant upgrade, data protection, security, multi-user capability.
Future
Upsizing to a database server or migration to a web application.
