Microsoft Access replacement and upgrade

Replacing Microsoft Access means rebuilding your Access database as a modern web application: a cloud-hosted database, secure logins for multiple users at once, a browser interface that works on any device, and automatic backups - removing Access's limits on concurrent users, remote access and long-term support. In the UK an Access-to-web-app migration typically costs £4,000-£15,000 depending on the number of forms, reports and users, with your existing data and logic carried across. It's the standard fix when an Access database has become business-critical but fragile, hard to share, or tied to one PC.

Why move off Microsoft Access?

Access databases often start as one person's tool and quietly become business-critical - then the cracks show: only one or two people can use it at once, it's tied to a PC or shared drive, remote access is painful, backups are manual, and finding anyone to maintain it gets harder every year. A web app removes every one of those limits.

What you gain

Concurrent multi-user access, secure role-based logins, use from any device or location, automatic cloud backups, a proper audit trail, and a modern interface - all while keeping the data and business logic your Access database already holds.

What does it cost?

Most Access migrations run £4,000-£15,000 depending on how many forms, reports and users are involved. A discovery sprint maps your existing database and produces a fixed price first.

How does migration work?

We audit the existing Access tables, forms, queries and reports, rebuild them as a web app, migrate your data, test against the old system, then switch over. See the wider approach in our guide to replacing spreadsheets and manual systems.
