Legacy System Modernisation for VB6, FoxPro, Access and Delphi
Many businesses still run on an application written 20 years ago. It holds rules and workflows nobody else has, which makes it valuable. It is also the biggest risk in the building.
JMJ re-engineers legacy software into a modern, secure application, often cloud-based, while keeping the business logic your team relies on.
- VB6
- FoxPro
- MS Access
- Old Delphi

It won't connect to anything
What it costsYour website, ERP and new tools stay separate.
What the system doesA design that can integrate with other systems.
It's painfully slow

Our four-phase modernisation process
- Analysis and reverse-engineeringSenior architects study the old code and database, and interview your expert users to map every workflow, business rule and data model.
- Modern architecture and blueprintWe design the new architecture, often a secure cloud-based web application, and show you wireframes and a technical blueprint before new code is written.
- Re-engineering and developmentThe team builds the new application from the blueprint on modern, maintainable technology.
- Data migration, parallel tests and go-liveYour complete data moves from the old database to the new one. Old and new run in parallel tests before a go-live planned to keep disruption low.
Keep the logic, replace the technology
Starting from scratch throws away years of tested business rules. Modernisation extracts that logic from the old code and rebuilds it, so you get a new application that works the way your team expects, but faster, more secure and reachable from anywhere.
JMJ Software Solutions has been building business software since 2001. Our senior engineers understand how older systems were put together, which is what makes it possible to read the old system and draw the new one.
Questions about modernisation
Which legacy systems do you modernise?
Applications built on VB6, FoxPro, MS Access and older versions of Delphi, among others.
Will the new system work like the old one?
That is the aim. The business rules and workflows are extracted from the old system and rebuilt, so your team keeps the processes it knows.
Will we lose our old data?
No. Data migration is a planned phase, followed by parallel testing before go-live.
Could we move to a JMJ product instead?
Sometimes that is the better route. The analysis phase shows whether a rebuild or a move to a JMJ product fits best.
