Upgrade old and legacy applications

Upgrade Custom Software, Products, Applications, Databases, developed in-house or by third party, with or without documentation or source code, any technology, any programming language or platform, any era, from green screens of the 80's to current, quickly and reliably.

We upgrade and migrate Software Applications, whether in-house or third party developed, with or without proper documentation and sometimes, even without source code.

Similar to Software Applications, Software Products upgrade means making them compatible with new OS, databases, Internet Browsers, Mobile Devices, etc. The often sought service in this sector is to make them run with 64 Bit systems or other software packages such Microsoft Office 2013.

The second upgrade task involves adding functionality and features in existing products.

And the third is to make the software product perform faster and slicker, by mobile enabling, adding new users, web enabling and more as explained below.

Requirements to upgrade Enterprise Applications and LoBs is similar to software Applications and Products. The added requirement here is to integrate them with disparate products that the organisation started using and disconnecting them from the products that the organisation no longer uses.

Second requirement is to develop fast reports and attractive dashboards, both for management and users alike.

Following from above is the requirement to port the existing applications i.e. make them available on mobile devices such as phones and tablets (notebook is now called laptop not mobile!). This involves us writing interfaces that collect and collate information from disparate sources within an organisation and presenting it on mobile devices.

Occasionally, we may delve into upgrading existing mobile applications. This happens when original developers are no longer available or too busy to undertake upgrading. Our work often comes with a 'on need basis' support plan to keep upgrade costs low.

With time, new browsers appear and need arises to make the web applications compatible with new browsers. Also, often the databases bloat and whole lot of new users join in.

This requires extending database capability and organising them in a way to keep them efficient. When web portals become global, we take care of country or region specific semantics like currency, weather, holidays, customs, cultural acclimatisation and more for our clients.

We also organise servers in different regions to meet security and privacy of data as demanded by different countries. Web applications may include online payment systems and payment gateway integration.

This involves upgrading APIs, Connectors, Plug Ins and Web Services for our clients to match changing requirements of technology, OS and products that integrate with it.

It is often offered as part of major projects.

This involves improving reports, querying, look and feel, automated dispatch and delivery to stakeholders, adding, removing or editing new fields as well as adding new integrating interfaces. Executive dashboards change to reflect requirements of the day.

Database tuning is integral part of our software development process. This expertise is also offered as a stand alone service because this often is a project in itself. Database tuning involves the following:

Improving Queries and Stored Procedures: Improve and rewrite queries to match new databases and software environments.

Splitting and reorganising databases: Split and reorganise to effectively manage large data and especially managing situation of global spread

Data Management Plan: Effectively Manage Databases, back up plans.

This involves migrating application and data from one platform to another. Though previously used when the technologies or technology companies became extinct, we are seeing this movement now as organisations try to consolidate or diversify business to optimise cost and efficiency.
