Migrate MS Access to SQL Server

Stillwell-Hansen, Inc

Stillwell-Hansen had been reliant on the same core application to manage its sales and service orders since the late 1990s. Once the Access-based platform reached the end of its support lifecycle, the team knew they needed a better, more forward-looking solution to run the business.

Our Process

Stillwell-Hansen's existing software touched every aspect of the business, so it was crucial that DOOR3 take the needs of a diverse range of users into account. Beyond integrating existing critical functionality, we examined how teams were working outside the application and how that work could be incorporated and streamlined to encourage adoption across the organization.

Solution

While Stillwell-Hansen had previously relied on Microsoft Access, DOOR3 updated the platform by moving it to a modern, web-based model. Now, all the company's functions are centralized in a single, intuitive platform that vastly improves visibility and reporting abilities.

DOOR3 has proven themselves to be resourceful and flexible, offering digital solutions that make sense for our business and internal stakeholders.

In the six months after DOOR3 launched our portal, new policy sales were up 10-fold! Per-policy effort was down by half.
