Managed Business Consulting, Inc. has found that many corporations are not pleased with the support they are getting for their investment. In some cases the reduction of the IT staff has forced companies to look outsource their application support needs. And there are also cases where a project has been prototyped in-house, but the full scale development is beyond the capabilities of the company. In all of these cases,  Managed Business Consulting, Inc. is able to step in and provide the level of support you are looking for.

General Project Salvaging

Many times corporations undertake projects with every intention of staying on top of the numerous issues that always arise in any application development effort. Without the dedicated time to manage these issues, the projects can quickly start to get out of control. Our consultants can help you to get your project back on track by providing you with an assessment of what the critical risks are and options to resolve issues. We can provide you with the development expertise you need, or provide a dedicated project management consultant to help ensure successful completion of your project.

Access Application Salvaging

Many of our clients have developed their own Access database applications. When Microsoft designed Access, it was intended as a tool for power users and casual developers to use and develop smaller applications. This ability for users to build applications can be a double-edge sword.  Many times a developer can accomplish great things using the tools that Microsoft provides. Occasionally, though, users will get in over their heads, and need an expert to come in to simplify and straighten out their project. Other times, companies will have projects where the consultant no longer supports the application for some reason.  Our clients have found that we can quickly understand the existing framework and help maintain or salvage these projects. Access can be an extremely powerful tool when used and managed correctly.  Managed Business Consulting, Inc. can help take your Access projects and Access Tracking software to higher levels.

Visual Basic Application Salvaging

We find that many of our clients are dissatisfied with their existing software vendor, or may be satisfied, but for whatever reason, the consultant can no longer be of service. Managed Business Consulting, Inc. can take over the application support to fix or update an existing Visual Basic application that you may have.

Excel Application Salvaging

Often, managers or other power users develop applications in Excel.  Excel is a great tool for taking data and analyzing it, manipulating it and prototyping how an application might behave.  At some point in the process, Excel spreadsheets become too unwieldy to manage. This is the point at which MS Access can be used to help you scale to the next level. Access can do almost everything that Excel can do, provided that the Excel calculations and analysis are well defined and stable.  Excel is better when you need a blank sheet of paper each time, or when data requirements are still in a state of flux. Access applications can be written that codify and document the process that was designed and created in Excel.  Managed Business Consulting, Inc. consultants have a great deal of experience converting such spreadsheets to Access applications.

Lotus Notes/Domino Application Salvaging

There are some of our clients that are dissatisfied with their existing Lotus software vendor, or may be satisfied, but for whatever reason, the consultant can no longer be of service. The consultants at Managed Business Consulting, Inc. can take over the Lotus Notes or Domino application support to fix or update an existing Lotus application that you may have.
