The types of Power BI and Microsoft Access projects that I encounter are either 

  • New projects or 
  • Existing Projects to fix, modernize, upgrade, upsize, convert, or migrate.


If your broken Power BI or Microsoft Access projects have no documentation — No problem. As long as I can get into a project or get the objects out of them, then I can handle it from there.

Dormant Enterprise Data

CREATE SOMETHING FROM NOTHING.

Vault Dormant Enterprise Data to New Heights

Start Vaulting Today

Vaulting dormant enterprise data is when I apply Creativity + Power  BI or Microsoft Access development to dormant legacy enterprise data.

Microsoft Access Process Improvement

I can link to your dormant enterprise data residing in an Oracle, IBM, or another system such as SQL Server, and develop Power BI or Microsoft Access to “vault” your dormant legacy enterprise data to previously unrealized heights.

For example, dormant legacy enterprise data can be leveraged in a new Microsoft Access process, such as an order update process, to automatically email updates to your customers. The dormant enterprise data gets vaulted to new heights as the new process is automated to run at scheduled times.

MS Access Process Improvement

Your customers receive a service from you and their confidence in your company will expand.

AN ANCIENT SAYING that I made up a few years ago...

"It is Difficult to Know the End From the Beginning..."

Power BI and Microsoft Access development can be like when I was backpacking in Glacier National Park and hiking up to a mountain pass… From the newly attained perspective, I could view the next higher pass.

Along with Microsoft Power BI and MS Access development, I offer the option for me to integrate business analysis, continuous improvement, and great communications as part of the ascent.

"Developers whom communicate well communicate respectfully communicate on time communicate concisely communicate precisely with stakeholders are like a Sherpa whom accompanies a mountain climber, offering assistance, options, and suggestions along the way."

“I view developing Power BI and Microsoft Access applications like being a Sherpa.”

Standing in the Circle

from the Lean (Toyota) process improvement methodology...

Imagine that you are the top engineer in the nation of Japan and have just been hired by Toyota upon your graduation from the most esteemed of universities. The president of Toyota greets you on your very first day. While you walk together, you are filled with excitement as you wonder what the view will be like from your beautiful new office.

Your destination however is the production shop floor, and the president takes some chalk, draws a circle on the shop floor, and says “stand in this circle and observe”. Then he walks away.

Standing in the circle denotes involvement not separation and is a fact-finding mission to fully understand a process.

Programming and developing are very different.

Programming has a start and a finish and can be completed from a distance.

Development is a continuous process that starts from the circle, and our experience has been that the most value comes from being on site and working directly with stakeholders.

PROJECT SCOPE

When a project is contained within the boundaries of the initial project definition it is said to be in scope. Please know that the importance of staying in scope on your Power BI or MS Access project is very important to me, so talking with you about project scope upfront is also very important.

In some company cultures, scope gets pre-approved by a committee and budget is tracked with internally between departments as if they were separate businesses. The discussion of additional enhancements may not be wanted or may be forbidden. If this is your culture, please know that I will honor it.

Other less formal companies may ask me to document the current requested requirement as well as any other enhancements that would improve the business process. For example, a project may have only one requirement that is to install an auto-dialing feature to an existing app but I may observe users constantly switching to an email app to draft a standard email. In this case, I would also document the amount of time per day an auto-emailing enhancement would save if installed in the Access application.

Project scope is very important to most clients, so please know that is important to me.

PROJECT DOCUMENTS

Your way is our way. Why? Because every company has a culture, and every culture is unique. Because I have worked on both new and previously existing Power BI and Microsoft Access development projects method of analysis, requirements gathering, and documentation between companies is as varied as cultures are from company to company.

If you prefer a formal and comprehensive project document then you will get just that from me. I can also provide it in two translations, one for the technical reader and one for the not so technical reader.

In other more fluid cases, where there are many Power BI reports and Microsoft Access databases on site, a company may not even know how project files exist, and I may be asked to create a list of the databases, record the primary contact information, and quantify the app’s usage, it’s business value, and urgency. In these cases, or where rapid applications development and new needs comes into view, a more general pictorial storyboard may be requested.

In ether case, I will provide you with the type of documentation with respect to functional requirements (WHAT is needed) and Non-Functional Requirements (HOW the system will work) that you expect.
