Our Legacy Migration Services

Legacy software migration to new technologies and frameworks
01

We will update your software built with legacy languages and platforms or outdated technologies using modern programming languages, frameworks, and databases. Our developers have a large technology stack and will make the legacy application migration process comfortable. Such services are essential for businesses that see that the process of maintaining legacy applications has become too complicated and expensive, while outdated software systems do not cope with the set tasks.

Legacy Delphi code migration
02

Your software could be written using Delphi 5 or Delphi 7 and may still work correctly. But we have to think about future risks, especially when we provide software services to others. Softacom’s Delphi experts specialize in legacy system and database migration, which involves migrating your software from older Delphi versions to modern ones with a long-term perspective – at least 3-5 years.

Migration to up-to-date .NET versions
03

It doesn’t matter if you still don’t know if you need .NET application migration services or you are already looking for legacy software migration experts who do it for you, at Softacom, we are always at your disposal. And we are ready to become your migration partner. Thanks to our proficiency in application migration, we can not just perform the tasks, but also increase the value of your existing legacy systems.

Delphi to .NET migration
04

If we see that legacy software has a really obsolete architecture we can offer to divide a solution to get a multi-tier system and migrate some parts to other technologies and platforms.
During the work on each project, our team solves a lot of complicated issues and makes a lot of decisions. When we offer some solutions, we try to find an effective approach, predict and manage the risks that may appear in 1, 3, 5 years after migrating legacy solutions.

WinForms migration & modernization
05

Our migration experts have the deep knowledge and rich skills required for moving WinForms outdated legacy apps to WPF, thereby increasing business revenue at a relatively low cost.
We can also develop the most effective methodology for migrating a WinForms app to web to leverage such benefits as enhanced functionality, reduced support costs, increased productivity, and accessibility from anywhere in the world.

Cloud migration
06

Our experienced legacy migration team can help you define the right cloud migration strategy, operating model, roadmap, legacy migration process, and ecosystem partners, as well as modernize your existing system to make it secure, cost-effective, and agile.

Desktop to Web or Mobile migration
07

What do you get by migrating your legacy software from desktop to web?

  • Higher processing speeds to better run a system;
  • Improved security metrics;
  • Simplified view over core business processes;
  • Solid foundation for successful migration and fast innovation of your outdated system.

While migrating legacy software systems from desktop to mobile, we rely on the following principles:

  • Taking into account the need for cross-platform adaptation;
  • Designing prototypes with a focus on key operations;
  • Evaluating the feasibility of moving legacy data to a separate mobile application from a business perspective.

Data migration
08

Data migration to another deployment platform may include:

  • Migration from an in-house database to a cloud database (Ms SQL Server to Microsoft Azure or AWS);
  • Migration from one back-end configuration to another (ISAPI to Apache);
  • Migration from shared hosting to the cloud (Bluehost to Microsoft Azure or AWS web app);
  • Migration from one cloud to another (Microsoft Azure to AWS or vice versa);
  • And many others (Softacom offers customized migration solutions based on the needs of our clients and the peculiarities of their web and mobile apps).

Engagement Models

Time and materials

This model presupposes billing at hourly rates for part-time or full-time engagement. It is suitable for executing a flow of short tasks on demand. It is often used for maintenance and support services, as well as those projects that pressure the introduction of some insignificant legacy system upgrades.

Managed team

The managed team model works extremely well for projects in which software requirements can not be detailed enough. The model provides an optimal balance between risk mitigation and flexibility. Very often this engagement model is chosen when it is necessary to organize the modernization process.

Softacom Migration Framework, a unique advantage of working with us

Softacom Migration Framework is a comprehensive solution developed by our agency based on a set of approaches, including technical, organizational, and communication techniques. It is a non-commercial solution built by the Softacom team for use on modernization projects performed for the company's clients.

Migration Framework capabilities and the benefits of our legacy system migration services

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 vendors.

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.
