MICROSOFT ACCESS 2016 (MAC)

Microsoft Access 2016 (MAC)

To manage your electronic data, you can use various systems. Especially for business data, it is advisable to use a database for this purpose. This allows you to manage your data in a very secure and efficient way. To benefit from these advantages, Microsoft offers you the Access database. This is already included in the Office 2016 Professional package. But you can also purchase it individually.

Microsoft Access: manage data securely and efficiently with a database

If you store data on your computer, several systems can be used. One of the classic methods is to use a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel. This is certainly a good solution for smaller data sets, however, if you need to manage larger amounts of data, a database like Microsoft Access is ideal. This allows for clearly structured access to all data sets and therefore facilitates working with them. The internal processes of the program are also very efficient. Therefore, calculations are carried out very quickly, even with large amounts of data. Finally, the use of a database improves security. The system only grants access to the content to authorized users.

Ideal for small and large data sets

Windows Access is suitable for many different tasks. You can use it to efficiently manage small data sets, such as a personal address book, photos, or the telephone numbers of your business partners. However, the database system is particularly advantageous if used for larger projects. For example, you can record all sales processes, inventory, or employee data of your company in the database. The high efficiency of this system is particularly evident with such large data sets. Moreover, unlike a regular file, the database is characterized by the fact that it allows multiple users to use it in parallel. In this way, all employees can access or modify the data simultaneously.

Easy creation of tables using numerous templates with Microsoft Access

MS Access is characterized by the fact that the software makes it extremely easy to familiarize yourself with the system, even if you have never worked with databases before. In particular, the different templates contained in the software facilitate its use. For many common use cases, a suitable template is already available, so you don't have to worry about the structure of data records. This not only simplifies training. It also benefits employees with a lot of experience in this field, as the work needed to create a new database is significantly reduced.

Simple collaboration through web access app

One of the main advantages of a database is that it allows multiple users to use it in parallel. This principle can be exploited by making a specific database accessible via the Internet. For this purpose, web access apps are used. These allow online access to the database. This makes it particularly simple and convenient to work with your employees, even if they are located in different places.

Microsoft Access 2016

Microsoft introduced the MS Access 2016 database system in September 2015. However, the next version - Access 2019 - is now on the market. Although the 2016 version is no longer entirely current, there are still many reasons to use it today. This is useful, for example, if your company's computers are still running this version. In this case, it makes sense to use the same software for all new installations to create a uniform system. Additionally, the previous version is significantly cheaper and offers almost the same features as the current version.
