Delphi Application Migration to .NET
Environment
The Customer
A leading UK based
ISV which provides tailored and scalable Insurance Software, was looking to
migrate one of their core selling product written in Delphi 2007 to a scalable
Microsoft .Net Platform. The legacy product is widely used by Agents, Brokers,
Underwriters and Insurance Companies within the UK and European Insurance
industry.
The current Client
-Server application required heavy workstation investment for users to access the
application placed centrally. This would ease out software maintenance but at
the cost of hardware.
Inability to
support multi databases restricted selling the software to customer specific
database requirements.
Customers demand on
latest technology and usability narrowed their sales target and had direct
impact on their revenues.
Product integration
and deployment costs were significantly high as compared to their competitors.
Improved system performance and scalability were two vital project requirements
communicated by the customer.
The Challenge
Upon being selected
to migrate the ISV’s legacy Delphi application, ZSL took stock of a number of
immediate project challenges and deliverables including:
The application -
301601 lines of functional code written in Delphi.
Understanding all
features and functionality of the legacy Delphi application.
Understanding the
purpose of the third party components used in the application.
Mapping the third
party components from Delphi with the components available in Microsoft
development
platform.
Converting non-GUI
product based components into Dll’s to be used in the new application
development.
Identifying the
system interface requirements with third party software and tools.
