We help you migrate to a later version and then enhance your application to bring it forward and up to date, saving you time and money. Depending on where you are starting from, that can be anything from a quick, no-hassle upgrade to a larger project involving some refactoring. A free analysis of your application tells you which one you are looking at before you commit a dollar.
Powersoft is recognized globally as one of the most experienced PowerBuilder consultancies, specializing in migrations to Appeon PowerBuilder 2025, 32-bit to 64-bit upgrades, database modernization and cloud-ready architectures.
PB6 through PB12.6, and every Appeon release from PB2017 onwards. EAServer 5 and 6 estates included.
Current long-term support releases and PB2025, on modern Windows, with the database and security brought up to date at the same time.
Source code migration from your current release to a supported Appeon long-term support release, with refactoring only where it is actually needed.
Moving applications and their dependencies to 64-bit, one of the most common reasons US IT departments finally schedule the work.
Oracle and SQL Server upgrades, SQL Anywhere to SQL Server moves, and the driver and retrieval issues that come with them.
Windows Server and Windows client upgrades, and re-integration with current versions of Microsoft Office.
Bringing the user interface up to date so the application looks and behaves like a modern Windows application, without disturbing the business logic underneath.
Redesigning application security — the piece that tends to matter most to regulated US clients in banking and insurance.
Proof
A US bank with around $79 billion in assets came to us running on PowerBuilder 6. We migrated the application to the current release, upgraded the SQL Server database, redesigned the security model, and trained the bank's own staff on the result.
Completed on schedule and on budget. If a bank that size can be moved off PB6 without drama, the version you are on is not the obstacle you think it is.
