Access to Web Application Migration in Stoke-on-Trent
Replacing Microsoft Access databases with web applications for Stoke-on-Trent 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

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.

Access to Web Application Migration in Stoke-on-Trent — 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 Staffordshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout West Midlands, including Stoke-on-Trent and the surrounding Staffordshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Stoke-on-Trent businesses do you usually work with?
- Multi-site stock, ordering and networking for businesses operating across several town centres, plus ceramics ecommerce. Beyond that we work across Ceramics, Manufacturing, Logistics, Retail and Digital.
- Do you cover the areas around Stoke-on-Trent?
- Yes — we work throughout West Midlands, including Birmingham, Manchester, Lichfield. Stoke-on-Trent is an urban area of roughly 260,000+, and we take on work across the wider Staffordshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
