Software technologies have been changing constantly and rapidly. As a result, the older software systems start showing their signs of age. Migrating your software to a newer mainstream technology provides a significant number of benefits for your business.
Types of Software Migration We Offer
Application Platform Migration into .Net (Windows or Browser-Based)
We can migrate the following software technologies into Microsoft .Net:
PowerBuilder ® (PB)
Visual Basic ® (VB)
MFC C++
Delphi ®
Database Platform Migration
Migration between different DBMS vendors.
Cross-platform database migration.
Migration from non-relational DBMS.
Rich Client Application Conversion into Browser-Based Solution
In many cases, web clients offer advantages over rich client applications:
Can run on multiple platforms (Windows, Unix, Apple OS, iOS, Android, etc.)
Have lower hardware requirements.
Are easy to deploy anywhere.
This type of conversion may not be suitable in cases when your application directly communicates with specialized hardware devices or has extremely rich and dynamic user interfaces.
Software Consolidation
We can turn your isolated software systems into a single data center operation. This type of conversion can provide huge benefits for your business including:
Real time enterprise-wide monitoring and reporting.
Seamless data sharing between business units in different locations.
Reduced IT costs.
Unification of your business processes.
Application Migration from Local Server Hosting into The Cloud
Cloud computing is a great option for small and fast growing businesses as it minimizes your initial investment in hardware and lets you scale up your capacity extremely fast (disk space, computing power, network bandwidth, etc.)
Our Approach to Software Migration Projects
Thoroughly assess the impact of conversion and maximize reusability of the existent software and hardware infrastructure.
Transfer the existent data and configurations into a new system to the maximum extent possible.
Preserve all historical data in read-only archives.
Try to minimize a learning curve for users.
Create a comprehensive backup plan in case anything goes wrong.
Minimize disruptions and downtime during the production switchover.
Signs Your Software System Needs Migration
You can no longer run your system on the new hardware and/or new operating systems.
Significant efforts of your IT department are required to keep your system up and running.
You experience a constant shortage of your IT resources.
You face growing dissatisfaction and degraded productivity among the users of the system.
Time/budget estimates for adjustments and enhancements to the system become unreasonable.
Integration of your system with other products and technologies you use or consider using becomes harder or impossible.
Your system restricts or prevents changes to your business workflow by imposing artificial constraints on your operations.
You no longer have access to the customer support for the tools and components used in your system.
Your software performance degrades as your volumes of data, operations and users increase.
