Benefits

Custom databases from Access Update are designed to solve the small day-to-day information management problems that take place in most offices. The projects are usually initiated by someone in the organization who needs the information on a regular basis and understands how it can be better organized and managed. If you have a suggestion box, there's a good chance that one of the suggestions is for a new database. Here are some of the additional ways a custom database can save time and money:

Improve Reporting and Data Analysis

Enhance customer service and sales with fast access to current information
Improve data analysis by searching for information with multiple characteristics (e.g. A and B and C but not D)
Improve decision making with consistently formatted reports
Identify and evaluate trends with custom charts and graphs
Share the collective knowledge of your organization through a centralized resource
Allow non-technical employees to utilize data with minimal training
Integrate the database with other applications including Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint

Increase Data Entry Speed and Accuracy

Design data entry forms to reflect their paper counterparts
Automatically look up and display related information
Select data entries from a drop-down list of choices
Eliminate problems caused by duplicate records, redundant data entry, and illegible handwriting
Enforce business rules by requiring, restricting, and validating data before it can be saved
Automatically assign unique identification numbers to items, orders, reports, and projects
Import and export information from external data sources

Streamline Data Management and Workflow

Create alerts triggered by specific criteria to remind you of events, deadlines, and data restrictions
Improve efficiency by automating routine office tasks
Improve tracking of projects, task status, and item location
Implement data security with password protection
Easily create backups that can be stored offsite
