The pace at which technology is developing, it is imperative for any business enterprise to be open to change and to allocate a constant budget for technology enablement and maintenance. However, it is important to manage these costs and keep it to a level where they are positively contributing to business goals.
Visual Basic has been a very popular platform across the world and applications developed with this tool still dominate the enterprise market today. However there is a need for change and the early movers are going to take advantage of the same. The VB resource pool is shrinking very fast and programming resources are fast switching jobs and moving into newer technologies. The new talent is not interested to spend any time with this toolset thereby putting up a great challenge for business enterprises which still continue to use applications developed around this tool.
The maintenance costs for applications being managed on VB are increasing everywhere and as more and more resources move into other technologies, the situation may become worst.
RaaWee’s application modernization services can help you save the tremendous effort and investments which may have gone into developing the applications in use. It is important to capture all the functionality which has been built into the applications.

At RaaWee we maintain dedicated pool of resources with cross platform exposure. Our engagement on such assignments will generally start with an in-depth application review. In case documentation is available, it is surely a plus otherwise, detail functional document will follow as the next step. This is a mechanical process as we just need to document as to how the application is behaving.
Once this is done, we can go into a Gap analysis Phase which is optional and highlights any new features or changes which may be required in the transformed or modern application. The transformation process it self is a combination of efforts which will involve use of in house tools, programs etc. designed and developed to safeguard maximum coding efforts and reuse any components. A programming phase then starts which is followed by detailed testing and QA before application delivery. Side by side a major effort would be a data migration plan which may also be necessary in cases where changes have been made to the database design.
RaaWee is a Gold Certified Partner and has the desired competency and resources to take up your application maintenance and migration tasks.
