Legacy apps
migration & rock-solid support
Many organisations rely on custom made applications designed to seamlessly fit their business needs.
They continued to rely on these applications, although often considered technically out-dated,
ranging from age old RPG to Visual Basic.
Many of these systems remain critical to the organisation's success, hence require rock-solid support.

& comes with an SLA backed guarantee you can rely on.
Time & again, organisations seek our support when faced with one of the following issues:
- Loss of or risk of losing application developers
- New candidate developers have either no experience, or risk leaving the job due to their age
- Designer can no longer meet modern expectations, cloud & web opportunities in particular

2 steps to conversion.
3 steps to grow your business.
1
Assess & quote
Free assessment & price quote
We first send you a non -disclosure agreement to assure your data is kept safe. In return, you provide us with access to your database & source code.
We assess the database & source code, determine complexity by analysing its structure , presence or lack of integrity rules, number of forms, queries, batch processes & reports.
You receive our fixed-price estimate of the technical conversion
2
Technical conversion
Develop & deliver at fixed price
Upon your approval, our developers start the fixed price conversion.
The database structure will be re-defined in SQL Server & its data migrated ready for delivery
Using our BA-Core framework™, we redesign the legacy app's forms and its entire GUI
Finally, queries, reports & analyses will be converted, all following the list agreed upon
You are now ready to go with the new application!

Refactoring
Enhance code to improve maintainability
“Code refactoring is the process of restructuring existing computer code—changing the factoring—without changing its external behaviour.
Refactoring is intended to improve non-functional attributes of the software.
Advantages include improved code readability and reduced complexity; these can improve source-code maintainability and create a more expressive internal architecture or object model to improve extensibility.”
See code refactoring at Wikipedia
Refactoring is performed following suggestions after detailed analysis by our developers, experienced thru step 2 – technical conversion.
You decide on if, when and how much time & effort to spend

Remodelling
Expanding functions & UX
Your application might eventually benefit from further development, more particular with regard to
- Extra functions inspired by new use cases
- Extra validations & rules
- Database structure
- User interface structure
- Batch & background management systems
As with step 3, the effort & time to spend is entirely upon your discretion
Remodelling should not be a one-time effort.
As your organisation grows, an agile approach permits to gradually evolve over time.
You again determine if, when and how much time & effort to spend
