Reporting modernization case study
See how an anonymized Access/VBA reporting migration used behavioral evidence.
Move beyond Access and VBA without abandoning the business logic inside them.
Microsoft Access applications can become essential long after they outgrow their original architecture. Soligent maps the real system before planning its replacement.

Repeated corruption risk, difficult multi-user operation, undocumented VBA, manual distribution, slow reporting, or a shrinking support base can turn a useful application into an operational dependency.
- Front-end files copied manually to workstations
- Linked tables and external files with unclear ownership
- VBA modules that only one person understands
- Reports that drive finance or operations
What is actually being migrated
The work is broader than converting forms or rewriting VBA syntax.
- Forms, workflows, and permissions
- VBA modules and embedded queries
- Access reports, labels, and exports
- Linked tables, files, and external integrations
A durable C# and SQL Server target
Modern solutions commonly use C#/.NET, ASP.NET Core or desktop UI where appropriate, and SQL Server with explicit database architecture.
- Strongly typed application code
- Testable calculation services
- Auditable reporting pipelines
- Maintainable deployment and configuration
Parity before approval
Representative and historical outputs are compared so differences are investigated—not rationalized after launch.
- Cell-by-cell report comparison
- Calculation and rounding checks
- Regression test coverage
- Documented exceptions for unsafe source data
Take the next step with clarity.
Start with the system, the operational risk, and the evidence needed to make a sound decision.
