Your Trusted Advisor
Things you should be careful of when planning support for your Access system:
- Is your support dedicated to another task or have another job or core function? It won't be in an accountant or engineer's best interest to support a database system for the long-term, so they may do a poor job. And, when they are gone, nobody knows how to support their system.
- Is your support really a specialist in another set of languages? It is a common misconception among programmers with little or no Access experience that deploying or maintaining an Access system to many users is easy. Without experience on the pitfalls you can encounter, tricks that save time, and tools to make things go faster, they could jeopardize your project.
- If you are in a big organization, does your support person know how to help integrate your application into your company's IT infrastructure, and notify IT staff on things like backups and system support?
- Can your support really take on a long term engagement like this? If supporting systems like these is not their goal or core competency, you could end up in trouble if they leave. Even if you decide to support your application in-house, you can use BillZone as a store of knowledge to train your next resource, and to support you during the transition.
