Often clients do not have the time, or the desire to learn Microsoft Access themselves. They simply have an existing Access database that needs maintenance. Or they would like to build a customized Access database.

1st Contact takes a unique, user-friendly, approach to maintaining and developing databases. 1st Contact uses a collaborative approach to building databases. In short, this means that we will work together on your Access database, using the following process:

• One person in your organization will work with 1st Contact consistently - from the start of your Access project to completion. This person will:
• Consult with 1st Contact to build a plan.
• Participate in regularly scheduled on-line meetings with 1st Contact to discuss progress and conduct testing.
• Create and edit task lists as the work on your Access Database progresses.
• Work on your Access database will occur in regularly scheduled 3-4 hour work sessions. At the end of each sesson, your in-house contact will have the ability to test recently completed tasks before moving onto further tasks. This will allow for testing of:
• New Access Reports
• New Access Queries
• New Access Data Entry Screens, etc...

Although collaborative working relationships require more time commitment from your staff than traditional database development, you will find that it also brings a sense of ownership and control over the process. Because testing of new functionality happens regularly, after each 3-4 hour work session, there is more control. It is easier to adjust a report or query as the database project progresses, rather than to retroactively make adjustments after dozens of development hours have been logged.

Also, since your staff will be testing the Access database throughout the work process, by the time your database is ready to roll, users are all ready familiar with; and have thoroughly tested functionality. More than any other aspect of collaborative working relationships this aspect of user involvement ensures a user-friendly database.
