Legacy desktop software to web app.
Old desktop tools tied to one computer can become secure web applications that work anywhere and update for everyone at once.
Converting desktop software to a web application means capturing the existing business rules and data, then rebuilding the interface and logic as a browser-based system with proper security and backups. Users get access from any device, and updates are released once for everyone.
Sound familiar?
- The software runs only on specific Windows machines.
- It was built in VB6, Delphi, Access or old WinForms.
- Only one person knows how it works.
- Remote work or multiple branches are blocked by it.
How we handle it.
Four clear steps, with you informed at each one.
Capture the rules
Study how the tool is used, including data and workflows, and document them.
Design the web version
Keep familiar workflows, simplify what slows people down.
Migrate the data
Move and verify data with automated checks.
Train and switch
Run both in parallel briefly, then retire the desktop tool.
Mistakes to avoid.
Copying every old screen
Use the move to simplify.
Forgetting reports
Printouts and exports are often the most used features.
No parallel run
Run old and new together before switching.
Common questions.
Can you work without the original source code?
Often yes, by studying the app, database and outputs, although source code makes it faster.
Will my data be preserved?
Yes. Data is migrated with checks and backups.
Can it work offline?
Where needed we can build offline support into the web app.
