I work with business-critical software that is still doing its job long after the original technology, documentation, development environment — or even the original developer — has disappeared.

My focus is not replacing old software simply because it is old. I help understand, recover, repair and modernize systems that businesses still depend on.

• VB6 and classic Windows applications
• Delphi legacy systems
• RS-232 / serial communication
• Legacy databases and data recovery
• Software archaeology
• Reverse engineering undocumented systems
• Software recovery without source code
• Legacy hardware and software integration

• A critical application no longer runs on modern Windows
• Source code or parts of the development environment are missing
• DLL, OCX, COM or other dependencies are unavailable
• Nobody fully understands how an old application works
• A legacy database contains valuable business data
• An undocumented serial device or protocol must be integrated
• The original developer is no longer available
• A working legacy system needs to be maintained or modernized without unnecessary replacement

Legacy software. Modern problems. Practical solutions.

I help businesses determine what they actually have, recover what can be recovered, keep critical systems operational, and decide when maintenance, modernization or replacement makes sense.
