Migrate MS Access to Azure
We make migrating your data to Azure hassle free.
How could a highly available and reliable database improve your business?
In a business landscape that’s growing increasingly digital, having a good database is a necessity. This is because your database contains all the pertinent details about the company. Microsoft Access, in particular, is a relational database where data items are organized in a set of tables. Many organizations choose Access because it offers functionality and programming capabilities to create easy-to-navigate screens.
The only problem is that Access has limitations—for instance, only being able to handle a size limit of two gigabytes and 255 concurrent users. Any business can quickly find itself reaching this limit. If you’re close to your limit, it’s time to move your Access database to the cloud. The team at Blue Net is here to make Microsoft Access migration a smooth process.
MS Access is great for rapid application development and powerful data-driven solutions at a cost-effective price. However, it has certain limitations when on a local server, including:
The best way to eliminate Access’s limitations and use the program to its full potential is to migrate your Access database to Azure. This solution provides a better, faster, and more secure storage engine. After migration is finished, you have the ability to support remote workers and anyone else who needs to use Access applications outside of the corporate network.
If you’re ready to migrate to Azure, we can help. Our team analyzes your Access applications and creates strategies to ensure the migration is a success.
Blue Net is able to migrate your favorite Access applications to the cloud, but before that happens, an assessment should be done. With an assessment, we can determine what applications are compatible with the cloud. It also informs us on how to create strategies that ensure successful migration. We offer this service for free to all of our clients.

If we find any potential problems, it’s not the end of the world. Our team works hard to find acceptable workarounds for all the problems we discover. We’ve been working with Access since the 1990s, so have seen it all.
Many organizations have a love-hate relationship with Microsoft Access due to the local file share only, desktop-based engine. This limits the effectiveness of this application for distributed users who need to use it outside of the main office area. However, this problem is fixed when the application operates in the cloud.
When Access is used with Azure, it grants benefits like:
If you’re ready to migrate to Azure, Blue Net is ready to help. Before migration starts, you’re going to have to choose which server option you want to use. There are three types of Azure servers—our team helps you by laying out the benefits each server offers.
