  • Legacy Software Relief: Developer Keeps Foxpro DOS Custom Applications Running Smoothly, For Large Savings

    (EMAILWIRE.COM, November 13, 2009 ) Norcross, GA – Throughout the business world, when custom software created 15 or more years ago using Foxpro for DOS runs into trouble, developers usually recommend replacement of the software, for two reasons. First is the idea that DOS applications are less and less compatible with today’s and tomorrow’s computers. Second is the fact that Microsoft no longer supports Foxpro for DOS. However, because Systems and Software Design, Inc. in Norcross, Georgia, has eliminated the relevance of those two obstacles, companies can now continue to run their business on their Foxpro DOS applications – at considerable savings (www.syssoftdesign.com).

    “By repairing the existing Foxpro DOS application, we’ve seen savings of 65 to 85 percent,” says William L. Woody, president of Systems and Software Design. “The cost comparison includes the cost of documenting the existing application, editing the system for compatibility with Windows and the new development language, testing the new system against the original application and training the staff on the new application, in addition to programming time for the new software. As a bonus, along with a repair we can add convenient new features to the existing software, like preparing and sending emails with attachments, preparing and sending faxes and converting files to PDFs.”

    Systems and Software Design ensures that the legacy software can run on todayÂ’s and tomorrowÂ’s computers via technology inserted between a Foxpro DOS application and a computer running Vista or Windows 7. The company eliminates the second major reason for upgrading to new software by providing continuing support for the Foxpro DOS application.

    “Programmers know that Foxpro for DOS is the fastest database program in the world,” notes Woody. “With our hardware modifications and support, Foxpro DOS is alive and well and very capable of supplying outstanding service for years to come. So, before replacing a Foxpro DOS application, consider keeping your current application so as to save the cost of replacement.”

    For individuals and companies wishing to minimize the cost of supporting their Foxpro DOS applications, Systems and Software Design offers a free initial phone consultation for reviewing the systemÂ’s current status and goals.
