Many businesses a legacy database like Microsoft Access as a 1st generation database.  It is considerably more adapt to storing business data than spreadsheets. However, Access is designed as a ‘desktop’ database solution. Therefore it is more suited to modest data volumes and a small number of users.

If your business is being held back by Access running slowly, you may require a more powerful solution. Luckily, Microsoft have just such a solution for you called Microsoft SQL Server. You can think of it as the ‘Big Brother’ to Access.  In reality SQL Server is a ‘Server’ database solution and Microsoft Access is a ‘desktop’ database solution.

Access can be easily upgraded to SQL Server
