DocksideHosting supports modernization initiatives involving:

Federal Government State & Local Government Defense Organizations Government Contractors Education Healthcare Financial Services Critical Infrastructure Manufacturing Regulated Enterprise Environments
Legacy Microsoft Expertise

Old Microsoft Doesn't Scare Us.

Turn Business-Critical Access Databases Into Modern Applications

Microsoft Access databases frequently evolve into critical business applications containing years of business logic, forms, reports, queries, VBA, integrations, and institutional knowledge. DocksideHosting evaluates the complete application before determining the appropriate modernization path.

We do not simply recreate an Access database screen-by-screen — we evaluate the business process and design a modern architecture appropriate for the organization.

Commercial and Government Clouds Are Not the Same

A solution designed for Microsoft 365 Commercial cannot always be deployed unchanged into GCC, GCC High, or DoD environments. Service availability, connectors, integrations, authentication patterns, compliance requirements, release schedules, and architecture options may differ. DocksideHosting considers the target Microsoft cloud from the beginning of the modernization process.

Particularly valuable when designing

  • Power Platform solutions
  • SharePoint Online architecture
  • Identity integrations
  • Power Automate workflows
  • Third-party integrations
  • Data movement
  • APIs
  • Reporting solutions
  • Automation
  • AI-enabled solutions

Environment Separation

Secure Application Design
