(Old Access versions, Excel, FoxPro, Other) Do you have an old Access 2003 or Access 97 database? We have helped many companies upgrade to current version of Access. Outgrown your Excel application?

Online Databases

The #1 question we get right now is how to put an Access database online. Access web database, Sharepoint, MS Azure, ASP.NET front end with MS SQL back end, remote desktop to hosted Access db’s, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some answers to help you hone in on the information you need. That’s our style. We make doing business with us an easy and enjoyable experience.

The rate is $90/hr. Our consultants are senior level business experts and VBA programmers. You will find that our solutions are very cost effective.

Call today 435-625-0300. Most people are surprised that a senior programmer will answer the phone. Or fill out the request quote form.

Describe what you need to do over the phone or email. If it’s intuitive enough, we will provide an immediate quote. The quote will consist of the number of estimated hours multiplied by our consulting rate of $90/hr. If the project requires more explanation, we will schedule a gotomeeting call. Then you can share your screen and explain the files you have and what you want to accomplish. At that point, we will provide you a quote so you know your costs will be locked in before you approve the project.

We are based in Utah, but we do over 90% of our work remotely. People call or email from across the country and Canada (we love our Canadian clients, too!). We use various technologies for sharing screens, conferencing, sharing files, transferring files in a way that is very efficient and convenient. We travel and meet clients on site, but we usually find that is only necessary and cost effective for very large projects. We are highly effective communicaters, and we resolve clients’ fears about location very quickly. It’s as if we were working in the office next door.

We will invoice you when the project is complete, and you can cut a check or pay with a credit card online. We take all major credit credit cards and paypal.

We guarantee 100% it will work. Our quote will be the cost to deliver the solution. If there are bugs, we will work them out. We strive for 100% customer satisfaction, and if we have to put in double the hours that were quoted in a project to make it work, that’s what we’ll do.

A quote from the original founder of the company:
“I worked for 15 years for companies in roles where I worked in Excel and Access the entire day, and I was very good. I moved out on my own and started full time consulting in 2010. I quickly realized my Excel/Access/VBA skills would need to drastically improve if I were going to market myself as a true expert. Clients called me with the toughest problems and each day was a learning experience. I had to google for programming code and experiment a lot. Now, after delivering numerous, successful Excel and Access projects, and I can say I am a true, nationally respected Excel/Access/VBA expert. I speak at conferences, do corporate training, and deliver best in class solutions. I have applied the same standard in attracting talented consultants as the company grew. We have been able to reach out to some of the best VBA consultants and programmers in the world to join our team.”

About Us

We are respectful towards our competition, but we have heard from our clients many reasons why they choose us.

  • Compared to local Excel or Access consultants:  Consultants with this business model typically need a higher per client revenue to sustain their operation. The total cost using us could end up being 1/3 to 1/2 what a local consultant would charge. You should use them only if you have a very large budget, or you have strict corporate policy against outside vendors.
  • Compared to other Remote Excel or Access Consultants:  We are sized just right. We are big enough that our consultant team can collaborate on tough problems and occasionally scale our operation to deliver large projects quickly. We don’t do this on the side to augment a full time job or a large, primary client. We also are not too big such that your project gets ignored or gets shuffled to a junior employee or outsourced. If a salesperson or “project manager” is your primary contact, then you are not getting the focus you deserve.
  • Compared to Off-shore Resources:  If you have a lot of time, and a very small budget, and are developing something that is not mission critical, and have had success in the past with off-shore resources, then this might be a good idea. But many clients have expressed frustration with their past experiences. They usually call us in to save the day after a long cycle of miscommunication, delays, and buggy product.
  • Compared to In-House Resources:Our consultants all worked for companies doing the same kind of work before becoming consultants. There is rarely enough consistent need for a dedicated resource with our skillset and efficiency to justify a full time position. We automate analytical and reporting processes and turn full time $100K positions into a $1,000/mo consulting contract for maintenance and updates.

Our specialty is in listening to the client, and transforming the client’s business needs into a robust, cost effective application built in Excel and Access. Small companies are really comfortable with our approachable attitude and flexible, informal style, but large companies love us for our pragmatic solutions and quick turnaround.

We primarily serve clients in US and Canada, working remotely from our office in Utah. We have worked for a range of clients from small home based companies to large corporations. Companies, non-profits, individuals, and government and educational organizations.

We specialize in Excel and Access consulting and programming. We are a small company based in Utah. We have been in business formally since 2010.
