About us
We founded EQL Data in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, in December 2008. We're built around a simple idea: make Microsoft Access more powerful. There are thousands upon thousands of business-critical Access applications that people use every day. But they have some limitations: maybe there's a problem with scalability, or the maximum number of users, or accessing from outside the office, or sharing the data read-only with your customers.
At EQL Data, we're making a series of products that will help you supercharge your existing Access databases, with no coding, no rewriting, and no major effort. Access can be this awesome.
