We would like WSI to
develop an Access
Database for us, but we
have a person on staff
that we would like
trained to maintain it -
Is this possible?
This is where WSI proves
it's working for you.
WSI can develop your
system and then turn
around and train
whomever you would like
to maintain it. This
often proves to be a
win-win situation as you
can maintain the day to
day items and then use
WSI only when it's out
of the skill set of the
person at your office.

begin to see how working
with WSI can be a
win-win situation.
We have big plans
for a database, but a
small budget - Can we
even do anything?
WSI prides itself on
working within your
budget. We'll analyze
where you ultimately
want to get and break
the project down into
phases that fit within
your budget and develop
the entire project in a
series of phases. This
allows you to stay in
your budget but also get
the system you want over
time.

even need a database -
What should we do?

or may not mean an
Access Database, but you
can trust that you'll be
heading in the right
direction.

We've got an Access
Database, but want some
of the data to show up
on our internet site -
Can we do this?

Databases can be setup

consider so that your
site works properly.

We've already got an
accounting system, but
we need some additional
functionality built on
top of it - What should
we do?
WSI has integrated many
Access Databases into
existing accounting
systems. This depends on
the accounting system
you use and what the
requirements are for
data integration.

integrate your
accounting system with a
custom access
application.
My Access
Application is running
too slow - what can I
do?
WSI's technicians can
analyze your current
system and give you a
number of options to
optimize your system.
Some typical solutions
to this issue include:
Upgrading your database
to a SQL server backend,
upgrading the version of
MS Access that you are
using, updating the
hardware you use and
redesigning the
structure of your tables
to optimize performance.

application.
I can't find an
off-the-shelf package
that does what I need it
to do and I don't know
the first thing about
databases - what do I do
next?
This is where WSI
becomes a valuable
partner for you. You
understand your business
and what you want a
system to do - we
understand databases and
how to make them do what
you need it to do - a
perfect match.

We have valuable
data floating all over
our office in Word
documents, legacy
systems and/or
spreadsheets - is there
any way to combine all
this data together?
This is exactly the
purpose of a database
and specifically MS
Access.
Contact us today
for a free estimate to
begin consolidating all
your data into one
seamless, easy to use
system.
We want to use
access but the cost of
putting it on everyone's
computer is too much -
do we have any options?
Absolutely. A
run-time version of
access can be used
without any cost for
those users that don't
need to design forms or
reports.
Contact us today
for a free estimate to
help you develop and
distribute a run-time
version of access for
your system.
We like what we see
and want to begin a
relationship with WSI,
however, we're located
hundreds of miles away
from your office - will
this work?
WSI has had numerous
relationships with
clients that were not
located in either our
Ames Iowa or Ft. Myers
Florida locations.
Depending on the scope
of the application, face
to face meetings are not
necessary to develop a
custom application
remotely. Our attention
to detail and customer
service has helped us
deliver many systems
without ever having a
face to face discussion
with the client.
