For the average bear this move may not be a big deal, but IT pros often use Access, which is essentially a desktop database. On TechRepublic Access is frequently mentioned in the community.
Zoho's strategy has been to make its Web apps conveniently connect to dominant players in the enterprise via plug-ins and import options. Hooking Microsoft Access to Zoho Creator is one way to do that. Zoho is making it easier to import Access data to Zoho Creator and Reports.
In a blog post, Zoho said the Access plug-in for Creator allows you to:
- Migrate your database from Microsoft Access (MDB File) to Zoho Creator & Zoho Reports;
- Create a web-based database app from your Microsoft Access database;
- And share your applications with others.
