We're the cure for your Microsoft Access™ headache.

Hit "compact & repair" for the very last time

We hear it all the time: "Access used to work okay but our business has really outgrown it." That's okay. Microsoft Access is a capable piece of low-level database software. It's meant to function about a step above Microsoft Excel in terms of data management and scalability. But if you've passed the 30,000 record mark, need to have multiple people using the system at the same time or you've had thoughts of bringing your application to the web, it's time to upgade. Stop relying on wayward Access forms and broken Excel spreadsheets to do your business.

Welcome to Synapse Studios. We're a Phoenix, Arizona-based full-service web application development company and we do it all for you.

We have extensive experience drilling down through your Access databases and Excel spreadsheets to get the whole picture. We examine where all of your data is coming from, where all of it is going and what it's being used for. Then we interview you, your workers and your customers to determine how we can make a piece of software that exceeds your expectations. Our custom software solutions will help you get rid of Access.

A well-oiled machine, working for you

After we've analyzed where your bottlenecks are and identified any critical issues (data loss, inconsistencies, errors), we develop and deliver a comprehensive project plan that explains the course of action we'll take to get you up and running on your own software. The solution we build for you will inevitably allow you to work harder, work smarter, work faster and work cheaper. (And we'll make sure all of your old data is still intact and accessible in the new system, to boot.)

You know it's time to get in touch with us if you're experiencing any of the following issues:

  • *ANY* data loss, whatsoever
  • Multiple users unable to access the database simultaneously
  • You cannot restrict certain portions of the database to certain individuals, so everyone has access to everything
  • Your data seems to be out of sync and in multiple places
  • You'd like to be able to work over the web, instead of having to connect to access over a VNC
  • The person who created your database/application is no longer around and you can't make even minor changes to your workflow
  • You're still using Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to store critical or large amounts of data
  • You have nobody in-house that can create new reports, forms, queries or fix those pesky macros that are everywhere

And we do it all. We've built mobile pickup tracking software, rebate fulfillment software, invoicing and inventory control software, data entry software and just about anything else you could possibly think of. Our software is as varied as our clients and our ability to truly understand your business inside and out, every nook and cranny, is our true strength. Take a look at some of the projects we've taken on.

"How do we get started," you ask?

Fill out the form on the left and get in touch for a no-risk, free consultation. We'll talk to you about your current situation and let you know what your next steps should be. Meanwhile, take a look around the rest of our website for some more information. Chances are good we can make things much easier for you, and make sure you never have to load your company's data in Microsoft Access again.

Is PHP 5.3 Terminal? Well, It's Getting One For Namespaces

A language lives and dies by how easy it is for a person to express something within that language. But the ease in expression is much like the type I and type II error rate in a statistical test: as you adjust one to be nearer to where you want it to be, the other gets farther away. So the architects of a language have to choose between adding more keywords and constructs or having longer, but simpler sequences of existing ones.

PHP is a very easy language to learn and use because it has a syntax that is a simplified sampling from C++/Java and Perl. People who use these languages pick up PHP fast, and people who haven't used any languages often learn PHP with as much ease as they would learn Perl.
