“I have been working with Anastasia remotely from Australia to manage, debug, and update the International Student Volunteers’ existing customized Access database since 2010.
This involved debugging and programming the database file to actively switch the date and currency formats on the database objects as well as on the HTML messages and pdf attachments sent from the database to our clients. This also includes migrating data from Excel and customizing the reporting in Access and Excel to help us manage international volunteer contracts for educational and conservation projects, associated flights, and travel accommodations on behalf of students from Australia, New Zealand, the USA, Canada, the UK, Ireland, and Europe.
In addition to quickly devising solutions on the fly to the constant changes in the business, she provides excellent, timely, and professional 24 x 7 support services remotely at an affordable rate. I highly recommend Anastasia to any organisation requiring assistance with their Access database.”

“I highly recommend the services of Anastasia Franssen’s  Access Database consulting firm, Access Ana’s Consulting LLC.
International Student Volunteers retained the consulting services in 2010 and have had an ongoing relationship since.
International Student Volunteers has always been able to rely on Anastasia’s flexibility and extra efforts with completing projects on time.  Anastasia worked globally with our three locations in the United States, United Kingdom and with our Australian offices all with demanding requests within several different time zones. Anastasia accomplished all requests continually impressing International Student Volunteers with her efficiency.  It was Anastasia’s tireless efforts to stick with the task until it was completed and the ability to meet deadlines that really made her invaluable.
Having a remote service, which allowed our global locations to access at all hours, was very cost effective. In the past we have tried to maintain on site personnel but it became too costly with the demands for service and deadlines.
Anastasia’s consulting firm, Access Ana’s Consulting LLC, would be a tremendous asset for your company and has my highest recommendation.”

“In my over 35 years working for and with a variety of technology companies (including Motorola, National Semiconductor and CRAY Research) I have never seen a better or more complete management system for a technology based company.
The success of that [Microsoft Access] system is directly the result of significant contributions by Anastasia [ ‘Access Ana’]. She directly supported the [Microsoft Access] management system needs for groups under my direct control, including our Technology Review Board, Automated Test Equipment Programs, Test Hardware Control, Burn-in Circuit, Development, Burn-in Board Control, New Product Design and New Product Release.
In addition, she supported our quality assurance system, production planning, production control, product traveler control/development, our purchasing system, vendor control system and our employee time clock system as well as payroll input from that system.
In every case, the [Microsoft Access] system allowed QP Semiconductor to double in annual revenue, as well as triple in production output without linear growth in cost, radically improving company profitability.
In addition, since QP Semiconductor directly supports U.S. Government contracts, our [Microsoft Access] database system has been repeatedly assessed by DOD audit resources from the Defense Supply Center, Columbus (DSCC), NASA, JPL and Aerospace Corporation. Additional assessments by major defense contractors like Boeing, General Dynamics, Raytheon have all resulted in outstanding scores relative to product and production control, history and data accuracy.
Anastasia [‘Access Ana’] was a direct contributor via her [Microsoft Access] database development and design work.”

“My association with Anastasia [‘Access Ana’] was in the audiovisual communications industry. I was recruited to EIS as a senior manager and provided a job platform that would allow me to grow and improve a division within the company that was under‐performing and in trouble. Other divisions had lost confidence in the products and processes long before we hired her.
I assigned Anastasia [‘Access Ana’] to a role within this service oriented group that would require superior ability to analyze and create an improved means of tracking key metrics. This was related to field service, maintenance contracts, warranty and onsite staffing for customers.
Among major accomplishments were analyzation and re‐write of almost the entire function of a software system that had never been correctly set up to use properly.
Within one year she was able to use her people skills and technical expertise to accomplish division level improvements amidst difficult political adversity, resulting in a completely remodeled, highly profitable, and respected department within our own company, customers, and industry professionals.
Anastasia [‘Access Ana’] was responsible for a great deal of the hard work, vision, teamwork and focus that made this group successful!
Should you consider retaining Anastasia’s [‘Access Ana’] services you will receive a talented, experienced professional of this highest caliber, a real impact player! “
