Software Migration

What do software companies do when they have a robust set of features in their software products, but the underlying technology platform upon which it is built becomes out-of-date?

This happens all too often in the world of computing technology as we have moved from mainframes to minicomputers to PCs to client/server to the web and now to mobile devices in just thirty years. Each of these transformations has left good software products trapped in the past and has forced an expensive revision or an abandonment of the market to newer, more modern competitors.

OFS can help take your stable, feature-rich product and adapt it to the latest technology platforms without incurring a total rewrite that risks quality and completeness. We work with your software team to identify and isolate the platform-dependent components of your product, such as calls to the database, display device, and operating system. Then, we wrap the components inside newer technology that enables them to function on the latest platforms.

In addition, most of our migration customers want more than just a straight port of their code base; they want to take advantage of the newer technologies such as social media and mobile computing. We can work with your development team to extend your base product so it not only runs on the newest platforms, but it also leverages this newer technology to add features to your product that the market is demanding.
