The situation

Your WinDev runs the business. For how long?

  • 01

    Scarce skills

    WLangage developers are getting rare and the knowledge often sits with one or two people. Every departure weakens maintenance.

  • 02

    Upgrades that break

    One uncontrolled version upgrade is enough to block production. Without a rollback strategy, you endure instead of deciding.

  • 03

    Blurry compliance

    Scattered HFSQL data, partial traceability, loosely separated access: security and GDPR become hard to prove.

The method · Strangler Fig

Migrate without stopping everything.

New ASP.NET Core and Blazor modules replace the existing ones one at a time. The old application keeps serving until the last switch-over.

  1. 01 · Audit

    Understand what exists

    Inventory of WLangage code, HFSQL data and dependencies. Business criticality of each module.

    Deliverable: prioritised roadmap

  2. 02 · Secure

    Stabilise production

    Critical modules made reliable, WinDev version under control, rollback strategy tested before any switch-over.

    Deliverable: continuity plan

  3. 03 · Migrate

    Module by module

    Rewrite in Clean Architecture (DDD, CQRS where useful). HFSQL data migrated to SQL Server or PostgreSQL through traced ETL.

    Deliverable: modules in production

  4. 04 · Hand over

    Make your teams autonomous

    CI/CD, Azure Monitor and Application Insights supervision, training and change management (ADKAR).

    Deliverable: autonomous team

AI-augmented migration

AI assists, people decide.

Generative AI reads, documents, proposes and tests. A senior architect reviews and approves every line that goes to production. The result: less time deciphering legacy, more time on quality.

AI usage is framed with you before the start: which sources, which models, which hosting. Nothing leaves without your approval.

  • Code mapping

    WLangage windows, procedures, queries and dependencies analysed and linked together.

  • Business rules extracted

    The logic buried in the code is documented before rewriting, then validated with your experts.

  • Assisted conversion

    C#, Blazor and EF Core code proposals, reviewed and adjusted by a senior developer.

  • Non-regression tests

    Generated from the behaviour of the current application, to prove nothing has changed.

  • Quality and security review

    Detection of vulnerabilities, anti-patterns and deviations from standards on every pull request.

  • Data control

    HFSQL-to-SQL mapping verified, personal data identified and classified.

What we check

Four checklists, at every step.

Every migrated module passes the same checks before going to production. You receive the result, point by point.

Audit

6 points
  • Inventory of WLangage windows, reports, procedures and queries
  • Dependency map: HFSQL, DLLs, components and external APIs
  • WinDev version, licences and workstation compatibility
  • Performance: slow queries, data volumes, bottlenecks
  • Business criticality of each module and migration order
  • Costed roadmap, validated with management

Quality

6 points
  • Clean Architecture and SOLID principles applied
  • Non-regression tests compared with the original application
  • Cross code review: AI, then senior developer
  • Continuous integration and deployment (Azure Pipelines, GitHub Actions)
  • Technical debt measured before and after each module
  • Technical and functional documentation kept up to date

Security

6 points
  • Authentication and roles reviewed (ASP.NET Core Identity, SSO)
  • Secrets and passwords removed from source code
  • Parameterised queries: no more SQL injection
  • Encryption of exchanges and sensitive data
  • Logging and alerts (Application Insights, Log Analytics)
  • Rollback plan tested before every production release

GDPR

6 points
  • Personal data identified in HFSQL files
  • Full traceability of migration ETL flows
  • Minimisation: only useful data is migrated
  • Retention periods and automated purge
  • Individuals' rights tooled: access, rectification, erasure
  • Processing register updated with your DPO

Client references

Legacy migrated, for real clients.

For confidentiality, our clients remain anonymous: we state their industry, the engagement and the technologies involved.

Frequently asked questions

Before we start.

Do we have to stop the application during the migration?
No. With the Strangler Fig approach, the WinDev application keeps running while the new modules take over, one by one.
What happens to our HFSQL data?
It is migrated to SQL Server or PostgreSQL through traced, controlled, GDPR-compliant ETL flows. You keep proof of every transformation.
What if we want to stabilise WinDev first?
That is often the right first step. The audit and the securing of production, version rollback included, do not commit you to the migration.
Does the AI have access to our code?
Only within the scope defined with you before the start: perimeter, models and hosting are approved in writing. Every AI proposal is reviewed by a person.
