Agenda

Presentations

Where Microsoft Access Fits in the Overall Database Strategy of an Organization
Luke Chung President, Founder, FMS, Inc.

Luke Chung will provide an overview of how large organizations successfully use Access, where it’s appropriate, where it’s not, and how to strategically take advantage of Access’ strengths and address its weaknesses. Mr. Chung will address how Access users, developers and IT managers can better understand Access' place within their organization’s overall database needs. It covers the basic concept of database evolution, and how database applications naturally evolve from Excel to Access to SQL Server. This presentation also helps managers anticipate situations where Access can no longer meet the needs of a particular application and how to anticipate and support those situations rather than being surprised by it.
