Microsoft Access Legacy Software Conversion Customer Samples

First National Bank - Ames Iowa

First National Bank contacted WSI to help them create run-time versions of a number of databases that they had created internally. WSI worked with the developers at First National Bank to help teach the creation process as well as installation. In addition, WSI enhanced an Officer Call, Trust Officer Call and Stock Tracking databases to allow them to be more user-friendly and robust by creating standardized forms, reports, tables and queries.

Glen Oaks Owners Association - West Des Moines Iowa

The Glen Oaks Owners Association contacted WSI to write a custom application to manage non-resident access to the private, gated community. WSI wrote a stand-alone Access application, called the Guest Management System, to track guests and vendors seeking access. The application allows security personnel to quickly search a database to find approved guests and vendors and log their entry to the property, including name, time of entry and license plate information. Guest and vendors not in the database may be added on the spot if approval of their entry is received from a resident. This application replaced a cumbersome paper system that required detailed maintenance.

Iowa Games - Ames Iowa

As the technology provider for the Iowa Games, WSI created an application to keep track of all athlete and event registrations. While most of the data entry was done through a web interface, the Iowa Games had some complex reporting needs. An Access reporting tool was developed to accommodate their needs. The reporting tool allows the user to get numerous reports based on criteria that they input in an easy to use, report menu format. The new application replaced a slow manual system.
