Dragons Tamed
 
Dragons; You've got at least one on your system....

Legacy applications which are vital to your business - but your programmers hate to work on them!

They consist of old code with patches and fixes.

They're unstable, any change to the code carries a substantial risk of causing failure somewhere else in the code. Even the simplest of changes is to risk major problems.

The program as a whole has not been validated recently (perhaps never....)

The source is barely comprehensible due to changes and patches.

The source and the compiled object are large and slow.

Your business depends upon this code!

 
What we do...
Evaluate the code in relation to the business needs served by the program.

Rewrite the code to modern standards.

Test the code to ensure that it performs the functions required correctly.

Document the code to enable future maintenance.


 
Results:
Reduced source and object size.
(20-60%)

Reduced execution time.
(up to 90% reductions have been achieved!)

Increased reliability.

Decreased maintenance costs.

Peace of mind
