Convert Visual FoxPro to Web Based Applications

It’s Time to Convert Visual FoxPro to Web Based Applications

At Farber Consulting Group, Inc., we’ve played a role in the IT world all throughout the evolution from desktop software and databases into the modern shift to web-based solutions. There was a time when we were at the forefront of custom software development using tools like Visual FoxPro. If you are still using desktop applications designed using the Visual FoxPro engine, you are far from alone. Millions of similar applications have been custom-made for businesses around the world. However, it is now time for your company to migrate Visual FoxPro to web-based applications.

What is Visual FoxPro?

Visual FoxPro developers used a high-level programming feature called Object-Oriented Language, which would allow a developer to work using classes, sub-classes, and inheritance. However, all support for this Microsoft service ended in 2014, so if you run into an issue, there’s no one to call for help unless you can find a company that employs Visual FoxPro consultants (like we do). 

The Farber Consulting Group Inc. specializes in developing web applications that allow you to break free from outdated desktop apps. Our intimate knowledge of the Visual FoxPro framework makes us the ideal software developers to turn to when you need to convert visual FoxPro to Alpha Anywhere software development. Alpha AnyWhere is a modern tool that can be used to create web and even mobile apps for your business.

A Unique Combination of Applications and Database Development Consultants:

Plus, we offer remote DBA (database administration) services, so we can also help you to convert an MS Access database to a web-based database with SQL. We’re a one-stop shop for taking outdated desktop databases and applications and creating scalable web-based solutions that will support your business far into the future. While we migrate Visual FoxPro application to web bases solutions, our Visual FoxPro Consultants will maintain the current legacy application until the migrate into the new app is done.

Is There Any Way Not to Migrate Visual FoxPro to Web-Based Solutions?

Throughout the 90s, Visual FoxPro was the standard for developing custom software. However, modern business takes place in the cloud, not on desktop applications. If you want to provide your users with access from anywhere and if you want them to have the necessary data security and privacy features, there is no choice but to migrate Visual FoxPro to Dot Net or another modern engine like Alpha AnyWhere. If you are still using Visual FoxPro applications for mission-critical business functions, not only are your systems outdated, but they are also vulnerable to attacks.

It has been more than half a decade since support for Visual FoxPro ended. There are no security updates, patches, fixes, or manufacturer support. The language is obsolete, and you need applications that can provide more robust functionality while also allowing your systems to operate across the many devices available today (smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktops).

Farber Consulting Group uses both Dot Net and Alpha Anywhere to develop custom software for clients that is web-based, scalable, robust, and secure.

Do we have the knowledge and skills to maintain your existing systems? Sure. But shouldn’t you modernize your applications to protect your company’s data, the privacy of your clients, and give your users the convenience of being able to work on any device from any location?

Convert Visual FoxPro to Alpha AnyWhere Software Development – Past Projects:

Alpha Anywhere (you may also know it by its previous name, Alpha Five) has helped Farber Consulting Group to develop custom software for many high-profile clients. A few examples include:

You can read more about the Alpha AnyWhere applications we developed and see some videos for some applications we created.

Alpha AnyWhere speeds up the software development process by generating a lot of the code automatically and by creating a publishing environment that makes it simple to update the software created. This makes the initial development faster, but it also means that security patches can be developed and implemented quickly. Thus, the benefits of updating an outdated desktop application become even more obvious.

Should You Migrate Visual FoxPro to Dot Net?

This is the other option that we provide to our clients, and it also has many benefits. Some of the reasons to choose Dot Net for your custom software development include:

  • Rapid application development
  • Scalable web-based solutions
  • Integration with your MS SQL database
  • Secure development framework
  • Promotes a simple and powerful UX
  • Offers high-performance features

Since Dot Net is a major framework supported by Microsoft, this provides developers and users with far greater options for security and functionality. As a dot net development company we also convert application as an ERP and improve their feature set as well.
