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.
