Access: The Brandenburg Gate of Microsoft Large organizations have a lot of information whirling around. So do small organizations. Even complicated individuals can create enough information that they need some help in organizing the various types of data. This is why there are so many different types of Microsoft products. There is Word, Excel, Outlook, Powerpoint and so on. One of these “so on” s is Microsoft Access. It is like the main crossroads of a city, the captain of a ship, or the info desk in a mall. Everything runs through it and it can be located and searched for specific information of any type.
Business Comparison Let’s compare an organization’s business to the city of Berlin. For those of you familiar with Berlin, you know that pretty much everything revolves around the Brandenburg Gate. Not only is it the most famous monument in Berlin, but it lies in the center of the city, relatively speaking. From there, any direction you go will lead you to a very different part of the city: the shabbier eastern neighborhoods, the huge park Tiergarten, the very modern Sony Center, the holocaust memorial, the shopping centers at Alexanderplatz, and the art district with all the museums and theatres. If you were at a loss of where to go in the city, you can be sure to find useful information and generally easy access to whatever you were looking for at the Brandenburg Gate. This is because the Brandenburg Gate is the “headquarters” of the city or at least the headquarters of tourism in Berlin. Because it is the center, there is ready information available for every part of the city. The subway, busses, and streetcars that run near the Gate can take you anywhere in Berlin. This is like Microsoft Access. It can pull together data from all the other Microsoft Office products (plus some) and organize it, analyze it, and route it. It provides maps, summaries, and interpretations of all that information and allows users to find it all in one easy place. It is the hub of the Microsoft city.
Access But like any center, Access (and the Brandenburg Gate) does more than simply direct information. Practically attached to the Brandenburg Gate are important embassies, the Reichstag (government building), and other very important buildings. The immediate area surrounding the Brandenburg Gate is a hotbed of political, social, and economic action. Most tourists don’t realize the extent of what is going on around them when they are snapping shots of the Gate. The same goes for a casual user of Microsoft Access. The amount of high-end data interpretation, formulas, macros, and reports that can be
generated within Access is astonishing. For those with advanced Microsoft training Kuwait, Access can be a very valuable resource.
