This week in ISM3004 we learned about a database program called Microsoft ACCESS. I have never used it before, and I had heard very little of it up to this point until now. Most people might think this program is complex and difficult to use, but I thought it was a brilliantly designed program after watching the lectures about it from class.
It is like Microsoft Excel. It is very complex, performs numerous amounts of functions and can display large amounts of data. However, I thought it's interface was very user friendly. I think all the real world applications ACCESS has with companies is amazing. For all types of businesses, it is important to have relational databases to stay organized and efficient. It is definitely a software program I look forward to mastering to help better prepare me for the future workforce. Our lecturer spoke about how one of his former students made Tropicana's business operations much more efficient after creating a database with ACCESS.
One of the things I like about ACCESS is its versatility. It has templates for forms and reports that can hold a variety of information and fields. It is a great tool for orders because it can create the order, retrieve the order, update it and even delete it.
I look forward to completing the class project using ACCESS.
