Replace your Access database — without losing your workflows
Your Access or FileMaker solution served you well — now it slows you down. We move data, forms and VBA logic into a modern CRM without your team starting over.
Module by module
What your Access modules become
Every grown database is made of the same ingredients — each has a clean successor in the CRM world.
Contact and company tables
Become the Act! data model with history — we clean duplicates during the move.
Outlook macros (VBA)
Replaced by Innlook: emails land on the right contact automatically — no custom code.
Dialer helpers and call lists
GiPhone takes over: start and log calls right on the record.
Access reports
Become reports on demand — from data that is maintained anyway.
Import and export scripts
Run through maintained interfaces instead of one-off scripts on a server.
Input forms
Become CRM forms — plus mobile capture on the go, for example with GiContact.
How we work
Understand first, then replace — never the other way
Frequently asked questions
What happens to our VBA modules?+
We analyse each module individually. Much is covered by standard tools — Outlook integration, telephony, reports. What remains, we rebuild as a tailored extension so no function is lost.
Is data lost during the move?+
No. We map every field, migrate in a test run first and compare the datasets. The old database stays untouched during the parallel phase — you can always look things up.
Can we keep using Access in the meantime?+
Yes, that is the normal case: your team keeps working in parallel until the CRM has taken over every task. Switch-off happens only on the agreed date.
Does this also apply to FileMaker or other homegrown tools?+
Yes — the approach is the same: inventory, field mapping, test migration, parallel phase. We retire Excel collections and old vertical solutions the same way.
What does replacing an Access database cost?+
That depends on the number of modules and fields. The first conversation costs nothing — after that you get a quote with a clear scope before any costs arise.
The goal is not to rebuild Access one to one — it is to move the workflows behind it into a system your team enjoys using.
