Modernize the applications that still do real work.
For COBOL, Delphi, PowerBuilder, Progress, and Informix 4GL estates that have outlasted their original toolchains — we convert them to current platforms while preserving the business logic that took years to encode.
Source and target coverage across the modernization stack.
Application code in its native language, including embedded SQL, converted into modern equivalents that compile, run, and remain maintainable by current engineering teams.
The reasons we hear most often.
Skills market is gone
Recruiting for COBOL, Delphi, or PowerBuilder has stopped being feasible at your salary band. Each retirement is a capability loss.
Platform lock-in
The application is tied to a specific runtime, OS, or middleware version, blocking cloud strategy or hybrid deployment.
Security posture gaps
No native MFA, no encryption-at-rest, audit logs that do not survive contact with a real audit. The threat model has moved on; the application has not.
Vendor end-of-support
The toolchain itself is sunsetting. The countdown is no longer optional, and rewriting from scratch is not on the table.
Six stages, designed to be predictable.
Assessment
Code inventory, dependency mapping, component analysis, and a written migration plan with confidence ranges.
Automated conversion
Bulk transformation of application code and embedded SQL to the target platform. This is where automation earns its keep — typically 80%+ of the codebase.
Manual conversion
Code review and engineered fixes for the long tail. Custom controls, proprietary libraries, and bespoke methods rewritten in the target language by hand.
Functional testing
Test documentation derived from the converted code, then executed end-to-end. Issues fixed in-place rather than deferred.
Acceptance testing
Verification against your business requirements, with your test team running the scenarios that matter most to the business.
Cutover
Application switch and startup support, with the engineering team that built the conversion on the line until the system is steady.
Where we have done this work most.
Finance & insurance
Core systems, policy administration, claims platforms, underwriting engines.
Healthcare
Clinical adjuncts, laboratory systems, patient management workflows.
Logistics & warehousing
Inventory, dispatch, fleet management, and the long tail of operational tools.
Real estate & property
Portfolio management, lease administration, tenant systems.
Manufacturing
Plant-floor adjuncts, production scheduling, quality management interfaces.
Internal management apps
The unglamorous internal tools that quietly run a great deal of operational reality — and that nobody wants to touch.
What modernization actually delivers.
Lower lifecycle cost
Maintenance moves from a specialist line item to standard engineering work, on standard hiring tracks.
Real compatibility
The application can now integrate with current platforms, APIs, and tooling — not just survive next to them.
Headroom to grow
Scaling is a configuration question, not an architectural crisis. New features ship on weekly cycles, not quarterly.
A defensible security posture
Modern auth, encryption, audit, and patch lifecycle — on a platform your CISO already understands.
