When To Use an Access Database

Microsoft Access is best used by individuals and teams (of up to 100*) that use the Microsoft Office System to track, analyse, manage, prioritise, and act upon the increasing volume of information we all face.

Access can be used as a stand-alone system capable of running the finance and operations of a small to medium sized business in it's entirety, or to fulfill a particular function in a larger organisation which is not covered by the main business system.

Because of it's flexibility Access is also fast and effective when used as a temporary information gathering or correction tool. For instance to make a marketing, financial or operational decision or to "clean" data from another business system.
