Re-engineering legacy Point of Sales

Contact us

Legacy POS (Point of Sale) systems fall short in meeting evolving business needs for scalability, modern UI/UX, and cost-efficient maintenance. Timely modernization is essential for sustained growth.

How to handle legacy POS re-engineering

When organizations consider legacy POS modernization, they typically think of:

  • Building products from scratch
  • Or “rip and replace” their desktop POS software

Legacy POS systems can often be upgraded and brought into a digital-ready mode. Achieving this balance is an iterative process focused on flexibility and overcoming obstacles for long-term benefits. Whether it’s platform migration, functionality extension, or updating legacy mainframes, each modernization step aims to accelerate performance and ensure the longevity of your point-of-sale software.

Step 1

At the initial stages, we perform an in-depth investigation to identify the core business objectives and constraints. We evaluate the parts that have major impact on growth and strategy and measure their limitations.

VB6 to .NET migration to bring additional value

POS modernization facilitates performance, security, compatibility, and flexibility in the business landscape. Quite often, legacy applications come with VB6 migration, as many business leaders are still using outdated Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0, including enterprise-level ERP, CRM, POS, and CSM systems.

For strategic POS modernization, many leaders might approach VB to .NET migration to enjoy modern features. Microsoft VB typically deteriorates business productivity, compatibility, security, and others.

Visual Basic 6.0 has long been a popular programming language and environment in the late 1990s and 2000s. As its mainstream support was stopped in 2008, business leaders have been actively working on converting Visual Basic 6 applications to newer programming technologies.

VB6 to .NET migration can be quite complex – it involves code rewriting, addressing potential security issues, updating existing third-party dependencies, and ensuring the product meets current regulatory requirements. But despite the challenges, VB6 to .NET conversion can add extra value when approached along modernization, eventually facilitating overall performance.

So, is VB6 to .NET migration worth it?

 

When approaching VB6 to NET migration, you harness:

 

  • Improved performance across operations
  • Enhanced scalability and flexibility
  • Better security
  • Ensured compatibility with more modern platforms
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Long-term support and maintenance

No doubt, there’s much more besides VB6 to .NET performance optimization advantages worth considering. And with VB6 to .NET security enhancement additionally, you take your operations to a new level.
