Overview
Any expert in migrating legacy systems, the answer is no. Delphi migration to a modern version is not a simple task that depends on the complexity of the application and the current version of Delphi. Migrating a Delphi application from any version after 2009 is often easier than migrating from an older version to a newer one (more code and outdated components will need to be rewritten).
Since 2008, we’ve migrated dozens of legacy Delphi applications. And with time and experience, our team has developed our own Delphi migration tool – Softacom Migration Framework.
Softacom Migration Framework
It is a non-commercial complex solution based on a set of approaches including technical, organizational and communication technologies. Softacom team extracted migration backbone from dozens successfully finished migration projects and covered these best practices and proven steps to our Migration Framework.
Softacom Migration Framework is used in software migration and modernization projects performed for the company’s clients. It is intended to modernize different software with different architectures. For instance, it can be client-server legacy database-oriented software systems that were created using legacy Delphi versions as old as 15-20 years (even Delphi 5 and Delphi 7) or Visual Studio 2003 WinForms/WebForms applications, to the up-to-date versions of the technology (if possible).
Migration Framework capabilities and advantages of ordering software migration service from Softacom
- Softacom has deep expertise in providing high-quality legacy application migration services and due to this we can minimize risks during the migration and predict different pitfalls.
- We can significantly reduce project time by using our custom-development analysis and migration tools.
- We can efficiently solve problems with the migration of components. We have a direct line of communication with many of the partners.
- We can apply our application development and software architecture patterns during the project realization, if “as is” migration is not possible or is not necessary and we should perform migration via re-engineering.
- We rely on testing automation best practices for before-after migration tests.
