Most corporations and government agencies assume that an upgrade in technology alone is going to solve all of their problems. Most of the time, the new technology is just the beginning of the nightmare. Microsoft Office Automation offers the opportunity for an organization to become proficient at defining its own technical requirements and at developing interfaces, applications, programs, reports, and data structures that match its needs.

By developing in-house and at the lowest scale possible, an organization can go through several iterations of development until a configuration has been established that satisfies the needs of the organization. This is a cost effective way of figuring out what works best, and what is developed, can be presented as a consolidation of requirements for what should be developed in a more enterprise-scale system if desired.

Calculators, calculations, estimations, projections, data processing applications, and what-if scenarios are all able to be built right on your desktop. Combining the power of expressions in queries and formulas in VBA and SQL, allows an organization to build its own, repeatable, trackable, and reportable applications for a wide variety of organizational needs.

Program fields in tables, forms, reports, and queries to execute commands that allow the user to view and explore more granular details, execute operations such as copying records or sending notifications to others about processes. The potential events are endless.
