Access to Web Application Migration in Cardiff
Replacing Microsoft Access databases with web applications for Cardiff organisations, where everything lives in one file. Tables, forms, queries, reports and code sit together, so the forms are the only specification of how the system works — and the person who could explain it has usually left or is about to.
Why this comes up
The problem
A department runs on an Access file whose author retired, and nobody else understands how it works.
What you get
What we deliver
- Forms and reports documented, since these describe the system's actual behaviour
- VBA code read and its business rules extracted before anything is rebuilt
- Data moved to a proper database server rather than remaining in a file
- Concurrent use designed for, as file-based access does not survive it
- Access from outside the office addressed, which the original assumed away
- Permissions introduced, because file-level sharing is not access control
Want this scoped for your business in Cardiff?
Thirty minutes, no charge, no sales script. You leave with a written summary of what access to web application migration would actually involve — whether or not you use us.
Working in Cardiff
Wales
Cardiff has a significant broadcast and media sector alongside a large public-sector presence, and Welsh-language provision is a genuine requirement on public-facing work here rather than a nice-to-have.
Public sector and broadcast work is common, and bilingual provision is usually a requirement rather than an option.

Access to Web Application Migration in Cardiff — common questions
- Why are the forms the specification?
- Because nothing else documents the system. Field order, validation, what a button does and which report goes to whom are all encoded in the interface, so working through it screen by screen is how the requirements are recovered.
- What breaks as more people use it?
- The file itself. Access was designed around a single user or a small number on a local network, and shared use over a network share produces corruption and locking — which is often what finally prompts the replacement.
- Is the VBA worth reading?
- Every line of it. Validation rules, calculations and integrations with Word or Outlook are frequently buried in event handlers, and rebuilding without reading them produces an application that looks the same and quietly does less.
- Should we rebuild it exactly?
- Faithfully in behaviour, not in structure. The rules should carry over precisely, but an Access form crowded with forty fields because that was the constraint at the time deserves rethinking — and this is the one opportunity to do so at no additional cost.
- Do you work with businesses across Cardiff?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Wales, including Cardiff and the surrounding Cardiff area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Cardiff businesses do you usually work with?
- Public sector and broadcast work is common, and bilingual provision is usually a requirement rather than an option. Beyond that we work across Media & Broadcasting, Financial Services, Public Sector, Higher Education and Sport.
- Do you cover the areas around Cardiff?
- Yes — we work throughout Wales, including Bristol, Swansea. Cardiff is an urban area of roughly 490,000+, and we take on work across the wider Cardiff region rather than the city boundary alone.
