I've already dropped my question on MS's forums but since there is no response there I decided to ask around on various It forums.
My company already has two Office 365 subscriptions with 17 users on the Essential and 5 users on the Business versions. What I need to create is a database system where they can view/read/modify/add data about customers and systems.
My idea is to create an MS Access 2016 database and add a WebApp to Sharepoint where employees can interact with it.
It must be quite straightforward not involve any coding.
We have a lot of different parameters, so an out of the box CRM won't work.
Is there a way to add MS Access to Office 365 without migrating the whole company to Enterprise E3? (Which I think is utterly unneccessary for 98% of our employess and will be very expensive compared to our current plan).
I had a chat with a Microsoft guy but he wasn't of any help, his response was "Microsoft wants everyone who uses Access to purchase their own license" though I only need 1 license for a development PC and the employees will only access it through our SharePoint site.
