PCA is a Microsoft Gold-Certified Solutions Provider that specializes in Microsoft Access consulting, development and migration services.  We have expert MS Access engineers on staff with years of experience building custom database business solutions with MS Access 2003 and MS Access 2007 (now referred as Microsoft Office Access).   PCA-designed Microsoft Access applications are data rich with clean, professional user interfaces, and are engineered to optimize reliability, performance and data integrity.

PCA upgrades older versions of MS Access — from MS Access 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 and MS Access 95, through MS Access 2000 and 2002 (MS Access XP) — to the MS Access 2007 platform.  If you have exceeded the built-in limitations of MS Access and are experiencing problems e.g. slow performance, unreliable data, corruption, etc. , PCA can migrate your MS Access application to SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2005. For more information, see our MS Access to SQL Server Migration services.

PCA's consultants build Microsoft Access applications using the native Jet engine or MSDE that ships with Microsoft Access, or we can build a full client-server Microsoft Access application using SQL Server.  Many different options are available for configuring MS Access to meet specific business, functional and application deployment needs.  See MS Access Migration Chart for more information on the available options.

PCA Microsoft Access consultants can even make your Microsoft Access data available on the Internet with the same look-and-feel of MS Windows-based applications!  (See MS Access to SQL Server and .NET for more information on custom Internet database applications).

PCA supports the complete, end-to-end needs of a Microsoft Access application development cycle to insure that the solution meets your immediate and longer-term business needs.  PCA Microsoft Access consultants bring the real world experience necessary to build the right solution for your company.  Because we also build distributed Internet database solutions, we can also solve your distributed database needs when you need to make Microsoft Access data available across multiple locations.

PCA can provide you with a Prototype application and/or data structures to test the viability and business utility of an Microsoft Access application simply by examining the User Interface.  Our application prototype design service allows our customers to SEE THEIR MS ACCESS APPLICATION BEFORE COMMITTING TO A PROJECT, to mitigate any technical or business risks, and accelerate development or deployment of your Microsoft Access solution.  We strive to Keep I.T. Simple!, and Prototypes are a simple, powerful and cost-effective way to communicate project scope, capabilities, and ease-of-use that is often overlooked by many MS Access consultants.

If you already have an MS Access database solution up and running, but are experiencing reliability, performance, data integrity or security issues, PCA's Microsoft Access engineers can discover and remedy the root cause of the problems and provide solutions sets that meet your budget requirements and business needs.  For more information, see MS Access Performance Tuning/Optimization or MS Access Corruption/Repair services.
