Microsoft Customer Service Access is a Hybrid Cloud Superstar
cloud and mobile world. We’ll start with this introductory post, giving some background and context. Subsequent posts will be looking at specific examples with steps to implement them Microsoft Support Phone Number.
Background
The computing world has changed in the past decade. Since the heady days of Access 2007, Windows ruled the client computing world. But:
- There are now more Android computing devices than Windows devices.
- Enterprises themselves are Microsoft Phone Number demanding applications which can run in this heterogeneous computing world -- remote, mobile, Http //Support.Microsoft.Com/Help on iOS or Android
- Microsoft Customer Service .
- Microsoft itself has pivoted to a mobile and cloud strategy, under Satya Nadella:
- Traditional Microsoft Support Phone Number Windows applications have now been released on Android, iOS, and the Mac.
- Azure has gone from nothing to being Microsoft Phone Number a, if not the, primary growth driver for the company.
- Windows 10 was free for the first year or so, and Windows itself has gone from being the focal point of the company Support.Microsoft.Com/Help to being split into two separate divisions.
- Microsoft’s premier development tool, Visual Studio, now has a Mac version, and supports the development of Android Microsoft Phone Number and iOS applications. Microsoft has also released Visual Studio Code, which runs on Windows, Mac and Linux.
The new strategy appears to have been very successful, as MSFT stock is up over 200% since Nadella became CEO (among other metrics, Microsoft Customer Service
including employee morale). Microsoft, as of this writing,Microsoft Support Phone Number has overtaken Apple to become the most valuable company in the world (something most would have thought unthinkable a few years ago).
Meanwhile,Microsoft Phone Number unlike Support.Microsoft.Com/Help some other members of the Office family, such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, Access runs only on Windows. Http //Support.Microsoft.Com/Help Only people running full Windows, a diminishing proportion of the general computing market, can run our applications.
You’ll recall that Access itself was Microsoft Phone Number removed from the Business (as opposed to Enterprise) editions of Office 365, but later Microsoft Customer Service
returned because of strong customer demand. The latest attempt to “get Access on the web”, Microsoft Support Phone Number Access Web Apps, which launched with fanfare in Office 2013, was terminated less than five years later. Support.Microsoft.Com/Help Work on the Access client application has been happening recently, most notably with the reworking and expanding of data connections, and with modern charts.
So, Whither Access?
At first glance, things don’t look promising for our favorite Microsoft Customer Service
database application and development environment. Microsoft Phone Number Looking deeper, though, there is great opportunity for Access in this cloud/mobile world. Let’s start at looking at what Access still does uniquely well:
- Access is a great RAD database designer. The ease of setting up tables, indexes, relations, and queries are unparalleled. Http //Support.Microsoft.Com/Help What made Access so popular at the Support.Microsoft.Com/Help start remains a core strength.
- Access generates great rich-client data-driven applications. With the full richness of
- Microsoft Customer Service Win32 at its disposal, Microsoft Support Phone Number Access has powerful and performant application features like a rich set of form controls, validation, form and datasheet views, and so forth.
- Access is a great RAD tool Microsoft Phone Number for reports and charts. The ease of development and power of Access reports remain a key strength of Access. Modern charts, introduced in Office 365 / 2019 adds to this.
- Access integrates very well with Windows and Windows applications,Http //Support.Microsoft.Com/Help notably other Office applications. Win32 APIs are available to Access, and integration
- Microsoft Customer Service with the full Office applications, such as sending email via Outlook, exporting to Excel, or generating a Word document, is excellent.
These are the key Http //Support.Microsoft.Com/Help questions. Is it possible to hold on to these things that Access developers have loved for 25 years, and be relevant in the new cloud/mobile world? Microsoft Support Phone Number Is there any way that we can keep Access and yet be relevant on iPads or Macs, or even phones? Or does Access go the way of the dodo bird?
Well, it’s our belief that Access can do fantastically well in the cloud/mobile world. With a little effort, we can have our cake and eat it too.
One of Microsoft’s key points of strategy in Azure’s success is something called the Hybrid Cloud. Essentially, Support.Microsoft.Com/Help this means the best of Windows Http //Support.Microsoft.Com/Help and the best of the cloud, working together. It’s not a stretch to say that Access is one of the best Microsoft Customer Service
things in Microsoft Support Phone Number Windows. In the coming months, Microsoft Phone Number we’ll take a close look at how Access can make use of the best of the cloud.

in the cloud, and extending the application in the cloud:
- Access using a cloud database for its backend (and all the corresponding benefits)
- Access applications Http //Support.Microsoft.Com/Help running in a cloud VM (and all the corresponding benefits)
- Extending Microsoft Support Phone Number our applications’ Support.Microsoft.Com/Help feature set and reach (Power BI, ASP.NET web/mobile, and so on)
