Application Porting helps
organization harness the service Offshore Development
Outsourcing with minimal disruption to their business
and environment. As applications become unmanageable
due to the need for cost saving, flexibility, performance,
reliability, or because you are faced with an end-of
life operating system, the only solution is to convert
them to a different platform and technology.
The objective of application porting
is to create an application on a target platform that
behaves like the original version thereby making the
application available to an expanded market. Application
porting can port software applications to and
from any platform, including Windows to Mac, Mac to
Mac (Classic to Carbon to OSX), Windows to Windows
and Windows to Unix / Linux. Porting may include application
porting from one platform to another, data migration,
data conversion, and/or porting application from legacy
system to new technology.
The process of Application Porting
begins once the requirements have been addressed and
agreed upon between a service provider and a user.
Porting may include application porting from one platform
to another, data migration, data conversion, and/or
porting application from legacy system to new technology.
For example, from Windows Application to Linux Application,
from MS Excel / MS Access to MySQL / Oracle, from
MS Office / Proprietary format to XML format, and
from Legacy system Java / .NET/ Web-based applications.
