At Winning Solutions, Inc. (WSI), we pride ourselves on delivering innovative, customized database solutions. In this case study, we collaborated with a leading provider of cement and building materials to upgrade their in-house Employee Training Database. The primary goal of the project was to enhance the tracking and management of employee training programs while maintaining seamless operational efficiency.

The Challenge

The company's existing database faced limitations in managing training records, tracking certifications, and ensuring compliance with industry standards. Key challenges included:

• Working within the constraints of the company’s existing Microsoft Access split database framework.
• Providing remote installation and support for a geographically dispersed workforce.
• Ensuring compatibility with the company’s Windows-based infrastructure, including PCs running Windows 10 or higher.

Our Approach

WSI adopted a comprehensive, systematic approach to meet the company’s needs effectively:

• Requirements Gathering and Design: Close collaboration with stakeholders allowed us to document detailed specifications in the Statement of Work. This ensured that all enhancement requirements were clearly defined.
• Development: Using Microsoft Access, we implemented features that improved scalability, usability, and compatibility. The database was tailored to operate seamlessly across the company’s Windows 10 or higher PCs over their local area network.
• Remote Deployment and Testing: The upgraded database was installed remotely via Microsoft Teams. Rigorous testing and live demonstrations ensured its seamless functionality.
• Post-Delivery Support: We provided a 30-day warranty to address any potential issues and offered additional remote support to maintain system reliability.

Results

The enhanced Employee Training Database delivered transformative results, including:

• Improved Efficiency: Streamlined processes for managing training records and certifications.
• Scalability: A future-ready system capable of accommodating growth and updates.
• Ease of Use: A user-friendly interface reduced the learning curve for employees.
• Cost Savings: Leveraging existing infrastructure and Microsoft Access runtime avoided additional licensing expenses.
