Product Migration
Software companies are facing competition like never before and this becomes all the more difficult in these dynamic times when the technologies & platforms become obsolete much faster. In order to keep up with the competition, it is important to re-engineer the product to stay in line with the leading edge of technologies in order to remain competitive.
BrickRed’s product migration offering helps our client’s retain their competitiveness in the market by re-creating the product in contemporary technologies saving the clients’ investments in training the in-house staff in newer technologies or hiring an altogether new team. Some such scenarios where our customers have successfully used this offering are:
- Porting from a Legacy Platform: The product is on an old technology-set/ platform and it is neither easy nor cost-effective to get the resources in such technologies and the product users demand a more contemporary product. Porting such product line from Delphi to .Net or from VB to .Net or a desktop based application to a web based interface are just some case examples.
- Heavily Patched version: The product is an old one and in order to maintain & enhance it more than what it could support; blocks of code have been added making it unstable and not suitable for any more enhancements.
- Database & Application Server porting: The product supports a specific database and or an application server but needs to be ported to a different database/ application server set. For instance porting between JBoss, Weblogic and Websphere, or porting between SQL Server, Oracle, DB2 or Sybase.
- Newer functionality, heavier load requirements: When the product was created it was envisaged to have a particular set of functionality and a level of load which has been surpassed.
