Migration Web

Migrating desktop software to a web solution

Does your Windows or Mac application require installation on every workstation, painful updates, and won't work remotely? We transform it into a web application accessible everywhere, on any device — while preserving your working habits.

The problem

Desktop software (WinForms, WPF, VB6, Mac applications) has served well, but its model is showing its limits:

  • Workstation-by-workstation installation and updates, often manual
  • Incompatibilities between Windows versions, macOS left out, tablets impossible
  • Complicated remote work: VPNs, makeshift Terminal Server sessions
  • Backups and data sharing dependent on the local machine

Our approach: the web as a platform, not a compromise

  1. Usage analysis: which features are critical, which ones can be rethought for the web? We don't copy the original screen as-is — we rethink it with you.
  2. Modern web architecture: ASP.NET Core on the server side, a reactive interface (Blazor or SPA), a documented REST API from day one.
  3. Data and habits migration: migration of the existing database, user journeys modeled on your real processes, short training.
  4. Smooth transition: the old application remains available during the validation phase.

What you gain

  • Zero installation: a browser is all you need, on PC, Mac, tablet or smartphone
  • Centralized updates: everyone is always on the same version
  • Access from anywhere: office, remote work, travel, multi-site
  • Reduced infrastructure costs: no more session servers and makeshift VPNs
  • PWA option: the web application installs like a real app, with partial offline mode if needed

Special cases we handle

  • Very "desktop" features: label printing, scanners, serial/USB connections — we design local gateways or add-on modules when the browser isn't enough
  • High-volume data entry: keyboard-optimized web interfaces, as fast as desktop
  • Degraded mode: local queue and resynchronization when the connection is unstable

Who is it for?

Any organization whose "installed on the workstations" business software is holding back remote work, growth or updates. Ask for a demonstration: within a few weeks, a first web module can already be in your hands.
