Redmond, WA 2014 Access Day Presenters

Taking over someone else’s work is very challenging regardless of the technology. People have different styles, technical skills, and philosophies when creating software. Understanding someone else’s work, trying to understand the data, figuring out how all the Access pieces cross-reference each other can be very challenging. Taking over, then enhancing a solution can be very risky. At FMS, we’ve faced this issue for 20 years and have come up with automated processes and Best Practices procedures to quickly triage Access solutions, understand what’s going on, and identify ways to quickly improve Access solutions. Learn how we minimize the risk when making changes, and establish a foundation that supports maintainability and system administration over time.
