Access Migration for Non-profits in Georgetown, KY

In Georgetown, KY, the technology causing community organizations the most trouble is rarely the newest thing you bought. It is a donor spreadsheet, a mail tool, and a shared drive — and that is a Microsoft Access migration conversation. Our job is to retire the old database safely while the one admin who knows where everything is keeps doing theirs and the year-end acknowledgement run still happens on time in Georgetown.

Working in Georgetown

Georgetown is an assembly town, and suppliers here work to schedules and quality documentation set by a customer that does not accept "the spreadsheet was wrong" as an explanation.

The nonprofit firms around Georgetown that work with automotive assembly and the tier suppliers around it inherit a customer's expectations along with the contract. Those expectations meet a donor spreadsheet, a mail tool, and a shared drive, the one admin who knows where everything is absorbs the difference, and a grant report rebuilt from memory follows a quarter later. Access Migration is how you stop absorbing it.

  • Automotive assembly and the tier suppliers around it
  • Georgetown College, bourbon tourism, and county services

What this actually looks like

Access Migration for community organizations

The non-profit Access database is usually the donor history, and it is the organization's most valuable asset after its people. Thirty years of giving, tributes, and relationships, on one machine, with a backup that is a copy of the file on the same drive. We migrate the giving history intact with the relationships preserved, then rebuild the year-end and grant reporting so it comes out of the records instead of out of somebody's memory.

The Georgetown wrinkle is proximity. Georgetown is fifteen minutes from our Lexington office, close enough for genuinely short-notice on-site help., which means the awkward parts of a donor spreadsheet, a mail tool, and a shared drive get looked at during Microsoft Access migration rather than described over email.

What we would look at first in Georgetown

  • What happens to the grant report in Georgetown the week the one admin who knows where everything is is out and a full audit, then a parallel run is not in place
  • Which parts of a donor spreadsheet, a mail tool, and a shared drive are worth carrying into the Georgetown Microsoft Access migration build, and which charge rent
  • How a grant report rebuilt from memory would show up in Georgetown, and whether a full audit, then a parallel run would catch it first
  • Whether a new hire in Georgetown could run the grant report end to end in week one of the same business logic on supported footing

What changes for community organizations

  • Year-end letters that go out without a fire drill
  • Grant reports assembled from records, not memory
  • Volunteer hours logged once and counted everywhere

The same business logic, on modern cloud footing, with nothing lost.

How we work

Four slices, and you approve every one

1 2 3 4

Before Microsoft Access migration builds anything we agree in writing what "done" means for the grant report, the year-end acknowledgement run, and donors retained year over year. That document is what keeps a Georgetown project from becoming a subscription.

  1. 1 Audit the database
  2. 2 Blueprint the rebuild
  3. 3 Migrate and prototype
  4. 4 Parallel run and hand off

Questions

What Georgetown businesses ask us

What does Access Migration cost for a nonprofit operation in Georgetown?

Scope decides it, which is why the audit comes before a number. For community organizations the scope usually turns on how much history sits in a donor spreadsheet, a mail tool, and a shared drive and how tangled the grant report has become. Fixed quote before anything is billed.

What if the person who built our system has left?

That is the normal Microsoft Access migration case, not the hard one. We document a donor spreadsheet, a mail tool, and a shared drive from the outside — what it does, not what someone meant it to do — and in Georgetown the one admin who knows where everything is is usually the best source for how the grant report really moves.

Who owns the work when the Microsoft Access migration is finished?

You do — data, documentation, and the system. For community organizations in Georgetown that matters more than most, because the records inside a donor spreadsheet, a mail tool, and a shared drive are often the most valuable thing the business owns.

We are a small nonprofit operation in Georgetown. Are we too small for Microsoft Access migration?

No. Most of our clients are businesses where the one admin who knows where everything is is also three other roles. If the grant report has outgrown a donor spreadsheet, a mail tool, and a shared drive, you are who this was built for.
