Microsoft Access Migration & Legacy App Modernization
Modern Web Applications for New Jersey Manufacturers and Businesses
Microsoft Access Held You Together in 1999. It’s Holding You Back in
For 25 plus years, Microsoft Access has been the unsung hero of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, engineering firms, and family-owned businesses. It still runs your quotes, inventory, job tracking, quality logs, and custom reports perfectly, on that one aging PC in the corner that nobody dares shut down. But every year it gets riskier:
- Only Susan knows how to fix it when it breaks
- New employees can’t access it from their laptops
- Remote workers and the warehouse are stuck with paper printouts or dodgy VPN access
- Backups? Maybe… if someone remembers the USB drive
- One Windows update away from total disaster
We can fix that, permanently.
ReachFarther specializes in taking decades-old Access databases (and other legacy desktop apps) and transforming them into fast, secure, cloud-ready web applications your entire team can use from any device, anywhere.
