What is Access?

Microsoft Access is a relational database management system with an integrated development environment and supports (with limitations) the SQL standard. The database software uses a user interface similar to Excel Spreadsheet, but stores data in a relational database.

 

What does soXes offer with Access?

soXes has a wealth of experience in the creation, development and/or re-engineering of Microsoft Access databases. Among other things, soXes specialises in re-engineering and replacement with modern alternative Access solutions. In most cases, the existing solution is replaced by a .NET-based web application with SQL server database. The modern alternative offers a higher performance potential compared to Access and can be used in a wider range of applications.

 

Why soXes?

With soXes you gain a partner with competence and reliability. For 20 years, our company has stood for the best quality in the development, programming and outsourcing of software. With its services, soXes covers the entire life cycle of an IT development (conception, consulting, development and support).

Sulzer
 
Kunde: Sulzer AG
Applikation: Sulzer
Technologie: Access, VBA, Excel

Sulzer AG is a globally active Swiss industrial group with headquarters in Winterthur. The company was founded in 1834 by Johann Jacob Sulzer as a foundry and produced cast iron, fire tips, pumps and apparatus for the textile industry. Today, the Sulzer Corporation employs around 15,000 people and generates sales of over 3 billion Swiss francs. Sulzer now consists of the core operating divisions Pumps, Rotating Machinery Services (such as generators and motors) and the Chemical Division.

To improve the project process at Sulzer Pumps, Sulzer Pumps Ltd. has commissioned soXes GmbH to create a software solution based on Access and Excel. Sulzer Pumps is the world's leading pump manufacturer with more than 20 production sites.  The most complex pipeline system in the world is based on Sulzer Pumps and transports two million barrels of crude oil daily from Canada over 13 500 km to North America.

Today, all projects at Sulzer Pumps are coordinated via the Order Progress Room, a new service developed by soXes. The Access-based application clearly displays all orders, including order number, customer name, project name, project manager and project name, thanks to filter functions. Orders can be sorted by calculated or agreed delivery date. The core function provides a list of the order and production stages, whereby it can be defined for each order whether or not the respective stage can be kept to the planned deadline and whether or not there are any delays in delivery. Based on this order status overview, reports of up to a display size of DIN A0 can be generated and thus even printed as posters. There is also an import/export interface via Excel to the Sulzer ERP systems.

Thanks to the Order Progress Room, the project process at Sulzer Pumps was made clearer and its handling optimized. The solution is used worldwide (multi-user capable).

Inrate SA
 
Kunde: Inrate SA
Applikation: Inrate SA
Technologie: ASP.NET, MS SQL, Angular, KendoUI

Inrate is an independent rating company and evaluates the environmental and social sustainability of companies, institutions and countries worldwide. These ratings are used to create investment universes and theme indices or baskets that provide asset managers and financial service providers with a basis for making decisions on how to create sustainable and financially attractive portfolios and investment products.  

In close cooperation with Inrate, soXes has designed and implemented a new web solution to create the sustainability ratings and make them available to clients for online download via web account. An MS Access database was replaced by an MS SQL database with web front-end (Angular/KendoUI). The ratings are based on a complex versioned rating model that is scalable through Inrate. The rated investment universe is regularly updated via interfaces to MSCI and Thomson Reuters. For individual clients, data feeds for their core banking system (Avaloq) can be retrieved.

Since the application went live, soXes has been providing maintenance, support and individual development within the framework of a maintenance contract.

One of the main objectives of the new application was to enable analysts to further develop the rating model without IT support. This was achieved through an administration front-end that allows the analysts to adjust the several hundred rating criteria at any time.

Furthermore, completed ratings were to be available for publication in real time.

The ratings are worked on decentrally at several locations in Switzerland and abroad in parallel, which is ideally supported by the web technology.
