Sticking with Visual FoxPro is putting your business at risk
Visual FoxPro was once a leading platform for business applications. But Microsoft officially ended support in 2015 — and that means no more patches, no more updates, and growing risks for organizations that still rely on it.
Unsupported software
VFP hasn’t received security updates in years. That leaves applications increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats and compliance failures.
Obsolete architecture
VFP systems can’t keep up with modern requirements like cloud compatibility, mobile access, or integration with today’s technologies.
Shrinking expertise
As fewer developers work with FoxPro, it’s harder—and more expensive—to maintain or enhance your applications.
Integration limitations
Connecting VFP with new systems, APIs, or third-party tools is difficult, unreliable, and often not worth the cost or risk.
What businesses gain by migrating to .NET
The .NET framework is the path forward recommended by Microsoft, bringing major benefits across every part of your business.
Modern tools and development
.NET supports current languages, frameworks, and best practices. This makes it easier to build, scale, and maintain.
Strong database compatibility
VFP’s relational database ports cleanly to SQL Server, enabling a smoother transition with fewer disruptions.
Enhanced security and compliance
Meet modern security protocols and regulatory standards with built-in authentication, encryption, and control options.
Improved user
experience
NET enables better interfaces and more intuitive designs, creating modern apps your team and customers actually want to use.
Reduced maintenance
costs
Modern codebases are easier to manage, with more available developers and fewer patchwork fixes required.
Better data management
With SQL Server and .NET, you gain access to advanced data tools, stronger reporting, and more reliable storage.
Increased operational efficiency
Your new applications will run faster, integrate better, and support more users—with fewer performance bottlenecks.
Ready for mobile
and cloud
Build apps that work across devices and leverage the flexibility of cloud infrastructure for anytime, anywhere access.
Though greatly beneficial, migrating Visual FoxPro to .NET requires considerable effort and expertise. At Innovatix, we make the migration fast, smooth, and reliable, with fewer surprises along the way.
1. Scope
We work with your team to understand your existing application, define goals, and determine the right migration strategy based on your business needs.
2. Plan
We develop a clear migration roadmap—mapping out features, dependencies, and tech stack—so there’s no guesswork and no missed steps.
3. Migrate
Using tools like DataMorph, SpecGenerator, and Code Matrix, we migrate your data and codebase while modernizing the architecture for .NET and the cloud.
4. Test
We conduct thorough QA and regression testing to ensure your new application matches or exceeds the functionality of your legacy system.
5. Deploy
Once your new application is ready, we manage the rollout and provide ongoing support to ensure a stable, smooth transition for your users.
