Transform critical processes into modern business applications
Across many organisations, Excel spreadsheets and Access databases have become critical tools for managing operational processes, tracking information, and storing business data. While these solutions often start as quick fixes, they can quickly grow into business-critical systems that become difficult to maintain, scale, secure, and govern. As organisations grow, spreadsheet-based processes often create challenges including duplicated data, version control issues, manual reporting, security concerns, and limited automation capabilities. Legacy Access databases can introduce additional risks around supportability, user access, compliance, and business continuity. Valto helps organisations modernise these solutions using Microsoft's Power Platform, creating secure, scalable applications that centralise data, automate processes, improve reporting, and provide a better user experience. Whether you're replacing a single spreadsheet or an organisation-wide Access database, we help create solutions that are easier to manage, more reliable, and built for the future.
Why organisations replace Access & Excel solutions
Eliminate manual processes
Many spreadsheet-based solutions rely on manual updates, duplicated effort, and time-consuming administration. We help automate workflows, improve efficiency, and reduce the risk of human error.
Create a single source of truth
Data often becomes fragmented when spread across multiple spreadsheets, Access databases, and departments. We help centralise information into secure platforms that improve visibility and decision-making.
Build solutions that scale
Business-critical processes need technology that can grow with your organisation. Modern Power Platform solutions provide flexibility, security, and scalability without the limitations of legacy systems.
Our approach
How we help
Every Access database and spreadsheet solution is different. Some support simple processes, while others have evolved into highly complex applications that sit at the heart of business operations. Valto begins by understanding how your existing solution is being used, what challenges it creates, and what outcomes you're trying to achieve. We then work with stakeholders to design and deliver modern replacements using Microsoft's Power Platform, integrating data sources, automating workflows, improving reporting, and creating intuitive user experiences. Whether you're modernising a project management solution, operational database, compliance tracker, admissions process, CRM, or bespoke business workflow, we help create applications that are secure, maintainable, and aligned to your business goals.
