Introduction

Modernize legacy & desktop applications to Web and Cloud, using Wisej.NET.

Existing Windows-based line-of-business applications cannot be turned into browser-based solution easily. Typically, enterprise-scale solutions have been developed over many years with a larger team, they consist of hundreds of screens, and millions of lines of code.

  • More modern UI possible. Our theming system allows to greatly enhance the look & feel of your application.

Rewrite or Migrate?

If you decide to keep the application and you have a trigger point to realize a browser-based solution for web/cloud usage, there are two scenarios to consider:

Option
Pro
Cons

Rewrite from scratch

Improve look & code

Work on something new

Takes many years Very expensive High risk to fail Users may not like it

Migrate to the web

Fast, even if complex Very low risk Preserve business logic 80-90% cheaper Take on entire team Seamless debugging Clean solution UI/UX improvements
