Our Process
We understand that every business has unique needs. Our migration process is designed to be collaborative and ensure a smooth transition.
01. Get To Know You Meeting
Our first step is to schedule a get-to-know-you meeting. We’ll work closely during this meeting to understand your current setup, challenges, and desired outcomes. We’ll listen to your needs and note any specific requirements you may have.
02. Produce Design Document
Based on the information collected during the initial research, we’ll produce a detailed design document outlining a custom solution that meets your requirements. The design document will be shared with you for your review and approval before we proceed with the next step.
03. Project Execution
Once the design document is approved, we’ll proceed with the execution. We’ll carefully migrate your data from Excel and Access to the new system, ensuring data integrity. Our team will implement the new system and provide comprehensive training for your team. We’ll continue to provide ongoing support to ensure the success of your new system.
FAQs

Is migrating away from Excel or Access always necessary?
Excel and Access are still great tools for many businesses, especially when dealing with smaller datasets and simpler needs. However, their limitations can become problematic as your business grows and your data volume increases. For instance, they might need help with complex data relationships, advanced calculations, and intricate reporting.
If not properly secured, they can also be vulnerable to breaches. If you face such limitations, migrating to a more robust system can help you improve scalability, security, functionality, and collaboration.
We offer a free consultation to assess your current setup and recommend the best action for your needs.
Will I lose any data during the migration process?
We understand the importance of your data security and take multiple measures to ensure a secure migration process with a minimum risk of information loss.
- Data Backup & Replication: We back up your existing Excel files and Access databases before any migration begins. This serves as a safety net in case of unforeseen circumstances.
- Staged Migration: Whenever possible, we utilise a staged migration approach. This involves migrating a test data set first, allowing us to verify accuracy and troubleshoot any potential issues before migrating your entire dataset.
- Data Validation: Throughout the migration process, we employ robust data validation techniques to ensure the accuracy and integrity of your information during transfer.
We take a thorough approach to reduce the risk of losing your data. It is important to remember that the quality of your original Excel sheets and Access databases directly impacts the integrity of your data.
In the discovery meeting, we can discuss your data structure and identify any possible inconsistencies that require cleaning before migration.
What happens to my old Excel or Access files after the migration?
Once your data has been successfully migrated to the new system, you have a few options to handle your old Excel or Access files. You can archive them for historical reference or audit purposes, storing them on a secure server or cloud storage solution.
Alternatively, you can keep specific spreadsheets or databases containing supplementary information you migrated to the new system for occasional reference. Once you are confident that all necessary data has been accurately and securely migrated, you can choose to delete your old Excel/Access files to avoid clutter.
