Stability now
Keep your VB6 systems running safely while you plan the future. Reduce incidents, remove firefighting, and create breathing room for strategic work.
We are a VB6 specialist consultancy
Serious VB6 systems need serious expertise
Your organisation runs on VB6. It’s critical, complex, and too risky to hand to generalists. With over 30 years of deep VB6 experience, we stabilise what you have today and design a safe, staged path away from VB6—without gambling your core systems on auto-conversion tools or big-bang rewrites.
A deliberate path from VB6 to modern platforms
Stabilise what you have, understand your real risk, and move away from VB6 in controlled, testable stages.
Clarity of risk
Replace guesswork with evidence. Understand architecture, dependencies, and failure modes so you can make informed decisions and justify them to leadership.
Credible exit plan
Define a staged, realistic roadmap away from VB6 that your board, auditors, and teams can trust—without big-bang rewrites or auto-conversion traps.
Why VB6 needs a deliberate exit plan
VB6 systems are snapshots of how your organisation worked when they were built—plus every urgent change, workaround, and quick fix since. Business rules are encoded in code, not documentation. Integrations are often hand-crafted and fragile. Performance characteristics may be tuned to environments that no longer exist. The people who understand the system best may already have left.
VB6 is not just “old technology”. It’s a dense, business-critical system shaped by years of urgent change, shortcuts, and institutional knowledge.
Legacy risk, not just legacy code
VB6 systems often encode core business rules, bespoke integrations, and operational workarounds that exist nowhere else. The people who understand them best may already have left. Treating VB6 as a simple “upgrade” underestimates the risk profile.
At the same time, doing nothing is not an option. Tooling, compatible infrastructure, and expertise are all shrinking. The question is not whether to move away from VB6, but how to do it without destabilising the business.
Rewrite, not auto-convert
Auto-conversion tools promise a shortcut: press a button, get a modern system. In practice, they produce code that is technically migrated but structurally broken—hard to maintain, hard to extend, and often slower and less reliable than the original.
A safe VB6 exit starts with assessment, continues with stabilisation and planning, and ends with deliberate rewrites that re-express behaviour in modern architectures. No shortcuts, no black boxes, no unmaintainable “converted” code.
