...significantly within the last two years and the current Excel system, excel, cannot keep up with all data. In order to improve the efficiency of the current information systems used in Party Plates, the antiquated system needs to be upgraded to a much more efficient system such as Microsoft Access. The upgrade will benefit the company in terms of better data tracking and the ability of producingto produce useful reports in relation to customer sales. Microsoft Access is a database software that allows a user to manipulate large amounts of data. Unlike Excel, Access can hold more than 65 thousand records, which can be converted and viewed in various forms depending on what is needed. Microsoft Access offers two main benefits, its user friendly friendliness and its ability to hold large amounts of data without sacrificing performance. Microsoft Access functions in different ways that tie together …what? . Tables are used to store data from which queries can pull information from and perform calculations against the data. Forms can be used to enter information into tables. Reports will allow the information to be displayed in a printer-ready format. The reports can also be exported to other Microsoft Office programs, such as Excel or Word. Finally, macros allow for the automation of database tasks. Modules are an area for advanced programming language within the database. The last sentence does not support the topic - Refer to grammar guide for details on how to avoid dependent...

...Efficiency and collaboration proposal Benefits of using Microsoft Access Microsoft Access is a database application included in Microsoft Office, which helps businesses to save money. The different components and features make Microsoft access easy to use. The database application is beneficial to the work environment and offers a quick-learning format (Demand Media, Inc., 1999-2012). People can create an operational database in less than one-hour when importing information from other Microsoft Office applications (Demand Media, Inc., 1999-2012).Microsoft Access is capable of taking information from the enterprise software. More than one person can access or use the database at a time. People can add, delete, and update information instantly without the knowledge of programming languages (Demand Media, Inc., 1999-2012). Beginners can use the database wizard to create database objects and relationships that has easy to follow instructions. The database application helps to avoid errors and duplicates of data. The application is compatible with word and excel. There is no database code needed to perform database functions where with other applications a code is required. Microsoft Access has predesigned database templates allowing people to add data immediately without developing a template (Demand Media, Inc., 1999-2012). A business would benefit from Microsoft Access because most businesses grow and collect data over the years. The business can use the application to...

...02-11-2011 Dr. Lopez Abstract Databases are critical to today’s business. America needs to be sure that its stored information is secure. The days when personal computers were used as a storage device are gone. Today companies have networks composed of servers capable of storing millions of bits of data on their systems. Companies must be able to understand database fundamentals when they decide what database systems they need. When a company obtains data, it must be organized in a readable format so that company personnel can access it from their computers, as it is needed. Databases have become very common in the workplace today. Many organizations use databases to keep track of payroll, vacation time, supply inventories, and other information and for many other tasks too numerous to include in this abstract. Business use database anytime they have large amounts of data they need to search and categorized, so that it can be access later for other uses. In designing and determining the purpose of a database there are two key principles, which need to be considered. The first is duplication of information and the second is the correctness or quality of that information. Duplicate information must be minimized or avoided because it wastes space, increases errors and creates inconsistencies. The second principle, correctness, involves making sure data is entered correctly otherwise any queries and reports generated from the information will also contain incorrect...

...relational database such as Microsoft Access versus their current database, Microsoft Excel. Team C will explain the effectiveness of converting data currently held in Microsoft Excel into an interactive database using Microsoft Access. Team C will also introduce types of collaborative software; how this software can improve communications and streamline work processes. It is time for something new, something invigorating and inspirational for this business’ organization. Party Plate’s current system is Microsoft Excel. The system is excellent for managing and maintaining data entry information as well as other electronically processed information. Microsoft Excel has allowed our business to control the inventory and regulate the calculations that are constantly occurring during a daily routine. Excel’s spreadsheet program has allowed this company to create and breakdown prices into rows and sections wherever needed for evaluating values and rates for our customers’ orders and suppliers’ productions. Excel allows us to distinguish between the two as well as the many other values that may be involved in the transaction. Errors are easily corrected that may be found after evaluation is nearly complete. The program has been a remarkable system that has enabled us to develop proper skills needed for accurate inventory; however, Microsoft Access appears to be a better target. Microsoft Access is dedicated to the same aspects of Microsoft Excel. Access is recommended because it helps...

...Napkins Company Table of Contents Introduction 3 Benefits of Implementing Microsoft Access 3 Sales and Collaborative Software 4 Table……………………………………………………………………………………………....5 Conclusion 5 References...………………………………………………………………………………….……6 Proposal: Implementation of Microsoft Access Database Introduction Our party plates manufacturing business is growing and our customer base numbers are increasing every month therefore I am writing this proposal to implement a “Relational Database Management system”. The system we are proposing is Microsoft Access. The reason we are proposing to implement this new system is because since our business is growing it is getting cumbersome and time consuming to manage multiple “Excel” files to analyze company’s data. According to article by CPA Janet Samuels and Robert wood they suggest “Data handling and reporting capabilities of access are more efficient” (Samuels, Woods 2007). Excel should be used when we need to create a onetime report by plugging in data, however in access you will have to setup a database to form reports. Therefore, we should implement the relational database so information is forever stored and accessible by employees to create different multiple reports. The benefits of implementing Microsoft Access over Excel are listed below. Benefits of Implementing Microsoft Access 1. We can easily import all of our Excel files in to access by using the External data ribbon. This imported data will be saved as one of...

...password to use to access the systems. Each student had separate accounts for email, the VLE and for access to their student record. University of West London wanted to create a platform that would allow students to interact with each other in a safe, secure and academically driven environment.” (UCISA, 2012). Rather than develop a basic gateway for students to access the institution’s services, the University decided to build a personalized, interactive, social platform allowing students to combine social learning with academic study. The staff was established to explore options for collaborative working. There were three different approaches that were being considered: an in house developed bespoke solution; an off the shelf on premise solution and a solution hosted entirely in the Cloud. The in-house bespoke solution was ruled out because of the high development, support and infrastructure costs. It would also take too long to implement as the University had set a go live target date of the last week of August 2012, to coincide with the start of enrolment. The off the shelf solution hosted was ruled about because of the high infrastructure, support and maintenance costs. Most of the off the shelf solutions also lacked the modern messaging and collaboration tools that were essential for the success of the project. Therefore it was decided to opt for a free solution hosted entirely in the Cloud. Given our existing investment and skills in using Microsoft technology it made...
