Legacy Conversion
Update Old Applications to Current Desktop Applications
Is your business still reliant on outdated software applications that are difficult to support, update, or integrate with modern technology? WSI specializes in converting legacy applications such as DOS, SCO Zenix, Pascal, Borland, Q-Basic, Clipper, Clarion, RBase, Cobol, AS-400, and Unix into robust and reliable modern Windows or Linux applications. By upgrading your software, your business can remain competitive, efficient, and well-aligned with today’s technology landscape.
Many legacy programs, once cutting-edge, no longer meet the demands of modern businesses. They often lack essential features such as mobile device integration, website synchronization, or compatibility with newer hardware and operating systems. At WSI, we provide tailored solutions to help you overcome these challenges, ensuring that your business operates without technological barriers.
One of the frustrations of using outdated software is the lack of proactive support. Many vendors focus solely on collecting annual support fees while delivering little or no additional value. WSI operates differently. We only charge support fees when you request new features or assistance, and our industry-leading software warranty ensures that your application aligns precisely with the agreed-upon specifications. No unnecessary fees—just dependable support when you need it.
WSI also excels in adding new capabilities to your upgraded system, such as integration with Microsoft Active Directory or LDAP, to enhance security and streamline user management. Furthermore, our expert team ensures a seamless transition by migrating your existing data from your old system to the new one, allowing your business to continue its operations without disruption.
Do you frequently request new features from your current software vendor, only to be told they won’t be implemented unless enough users demand them? WSI handles feature requests differently. Every feature request is met with a detailed proposal outlining the cost and timeline for implementation. If you’re not satisfied with the proposal, you have the freedom to retain another firm, hire a programmer, or even implement the feature yourself. With WSI, you maintain full ownership of your program’s source code, so you’re never locked into a restrictive vendor relationship. At WSI, we aim to earn your trust and your business continually—not hold it hostage.

Common Questions
Will the new system be able to access my existing data?
In most cases it is possible for WSI to import your existing data into the
new system but not always. The determination of whether or not this is possible
is made prior to your approving any work from WSI.
We don't have a huge budget - won't it be too expensive?
Because today's modern programming languages allow our skilled to developers
create more complex programs in less time than ever before it is very likely
that WSI can build what you need at a reasonable price. When you factor in the
high licensing cost, support cost and lack of flexibility of most vertical
market packages the cost of custom application may be less than you think.
I'm worried that a custom solution from WSI, will just tie my business to
WSI, how can this be avoided?
Should you elect to have WSI build a new program for you, it is our policy to
provide you with the source code to your application. WSI avoids using any
proprietary tools or systems that would inhibit you or another firm from
maintaining the program or adding on to it. Furthermore, we work in the most
commonly used programming languages in the market today, to make this even
easier for you.
