Industry journals estimate that 20% of all businesses still use ad-hoc Visual Basic or Access solutions in their day-to-day operations.

Most of these solutions have been created by power users with one task in mind -problem solving- and are later extended to tackle new processes they were never designed to do.

And of course, the users never wrote any supporting documentation. Which is not an issue until they leave the company, taking the knowledge of your business away with them.

At Carlos Labs we understand the challenges and risks of "ad-hoc" Visual Basic and Access solutions in your organisation:

• Aging platforms that are no longer supported by the manufacturer.
• Lack of compliance with modern data management and auditing regulations.
• Challenging software maintenance, with expensive and risky investments to "keep the business going".
• Software that can only be run from one PC in your network, preventing employees to work from home.
• Scarce or nonexistant documentation for training new personnel.

We provide customised solutions using the award winning SugarCRM Community Edition software - an Open Source, standards-based collaboration space. These future-proof solutions are easy to implement, easy to use and very cost effective

Using PHP as scripting language and mySql as business database, we design and build custom web applications for replicating any business workflow and data source that you still run in MS Access or Visual Basic.

We can also provide Business Intelligence extensions to Sugar CRM using leading commercial database products like MS SQL Server, Oracle and IBM DB2.

By improving your processes and providing a collaborative environment, Carlos Labs can save your business time and money.
