Starting atAt $50 Per Hour

What Is Access Database Conversion?

Access database conversion involves upgrading legacy Access files (.mdb) to modern formats (.accdb), migrating backend data to SQL Server or cloud platforms, or transforming Access applications into web-based systems. The process preserves data, relationships, forms, and reports while improving performance, security, and scalability.

How Database Conversion Helps Your Business

Legacy Access databases face compatibility issues, size limits, and security risks. Converting to modern platforms eliminates corruption risks, enables cloud access, supports more concurrent users, integrates with modern systems, and future-proofs your data infrastructure. Businesses typically see 3-5x performance improvements and eliminate recurring technical issues.
