Should You Keep Microsoft Access or Move to Something Else?

The answer depends on your users, data volume, security needs, remote access requirements, reporting needs, and budget. Access can still be a strong fit when it is designed properly, split correctly, maintained carefully, and paired with SQL Server or Azure SQL when needed.

WSI helps organizations make that decision based on the system they actually have, not on generic advice.
