Migrate from VTiger CRM to a Modern Platform
Your team is exporting VTiger to spreadsheets every Friday. One client cut that from seven hours a week to one, retired R48K hosting debt, and recovered R142,000 in year one.
All Integrations
Legacy Modernisation
Legacy systems are expensive to maintain, impossible to hire for, and increasingly risky to keep running. We specialise in extracting data from ageing platforms like Delphi, Visual Basic 6, Classic ASP, FoxPro, Claris FileMaker, Paradox, COBOL, Lotus Notes, and old .NET Framework applications, then rebuilding them as modern web applications with cloud databases and API-first architecture. That also covers compliance-grade searchable archival of full legacy systems before switch-off so Companies Act and POPIA retention duties survive without keep-alive servers, reverse-engineering undocumented databases into ERDs and data dictionaries when staff have left and tribal knowledge is the only map, open-source and self-hosted CRM modernisation, including VTiger CE MySQL extraction for reporting and warehouse loads as well as full exits into HubSpot or Salesforce, Softline/Pastel-linked and other on-prem South African local CRMs, heavily customised SugarCRM installs where PHP upgrade debt and custom modules block a clean exit, digitising scanned TIFF/JPEG paper archives into searchable structured records, and pre-replacement master-data and open-transaction extraction from Pastel Partner/Evolution, Accpac/Sage 300, and SAP Business One. Our strangler-fig approach lets you migrate incrementally while keeping the business running.
Delphi Modernisation
Migrate Delphi desktop applications to modern web or cross-platform apps, preserving business logic and data.
.NET Framework Migration
Upgrade from .NET Framework 4.x, WinForms, WebForms, and WCF to .NET 8+, Blazor, or modern SPA frameworks.
VB6 & VBA Replacement
Replace Visual Basic 6 desktop apps and Excel/Access VBA macros with maintainable web applications.
Access, FoxPro & FileMaker
Move from Microsoft Access, Jet, Visual FoxPro, and Claris FileMaker databases to cloud SQL with web-based front ends.
COBOL & Mainframe
Modernise AS/400, COBOL, RPG, and mainframe applications with API wrappers or full rewrites.
Lotus Notes & Legacy Collab
Migrate Lotus Notes and Domino applications, databases, and workflows to modern platforms.
Classic ASP & Silverlight
Replace Classic ASP, Cold Fusion, and Silverlight applications before they become security liabilities.
Legacy Database Migration
Extract data from Paradox, Clipper, dBASE, Informix, Sybase, Pervasive SQL, and ageing on-prem SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, or Postgres into Azure SQL, RDS, Cloud SQL, and managed Postgres. Also covers reverse-engineering undocumented schemas into ERDs and data dictionaries so tribal knowledge is replaced before a migration, compliance-grade searchable archival before switch-off so historical invoices and ledgers stay findable without the old box, Pastel Partner/Evolution, Accpac/Sage 300, and SAP B1 master-data and open-transaction extracts before an ERP replacement, plus live replication cutovers for systems that cannot take a weekend outage.
Data Repair & Recovery
Fix corrupted databases, reconcile fragmented records, resolve encoding issues, and rebuild lost history, including orphaned CRM notes, tasks, call logs, and email conversation timelines left behind in a decommissioned system, plus repeatable contact extraction pipelines from ageing CRMs that keep fields, tags, and notes intact for marketing and BI.
Strangler Fig & Hybrid
Incremental migration patterns that wrap legacy systems in APIs while gradually replacing components, including replication-based zero-downtime database cutovers with continuous sync, lag monitoring, and a tested rollback for 24/7 operations.
