VB Migration Service

Foreword

Support for Windows 7 ended in January 2020.
Using VB6 in Windows 10 can be challenging.
・The end of support may lead to security issues.
・Incompatible problems may arise in application installation and operation.
・Support for associated third-party products has ceased.
・Development environment issues frequently arise.　
・It’s hard to integrate with the latest technology.
　…
Microsoft’s technology strategy is to integrate VB/VB.NET with C#.
We have a proven track record of 150+ VB-related migration projects.
With industry-leading conversion tools and test tools, we can ensure reliable and cost-effective VB to C# migration. Or migrating VB to VB.NET can also effectively leverage the existing VB maintenance team.

Recommended AI Automatic Conversion

As the world’s largest company with 500+ technicians, we have been specializing in system migration for many years. With a legacy spanning 22 years, we have developed our proprietary AI migration tools.

SoftRoad has big Knowledge DB (it is like a big dictionary) which is built upon our 20+ years of experience. Our tool use the legacy code (COBOL, RPG, etc.) dictionary to read source code of legacy system and understand the underlying logic. Then, our tool uses Java dictionary to create native Java code as if it was written by human programmer. In this process, we can change data structure to RDB and CSV file, we can even convert to customer’s own framework. We use open style SQL to process data, to solve performance problems. We can expand ID digits, etc. We are the only company using AI powered tool to do 100% automatic conversion with high quality & maintainability.

Test ― Achieve Exceptional Quality Based on Significantly Fewer Person-months

100% coverage of Technical Points. Test is automated as well. We use our test tools to input data, run the programs step by step, compare the output, and find the places where the discrepancies happen. We are the only company who can identify every detail grammars as technical points and find out where and how many times a particular grammar is tested. That is how we achieve 100% test coverage, instead of leaving that responsibility to customers.
