Customizations

GAPVelocity AI’s VB6 AI Migrator development team can also include additional rules in the VB6 AI Migrator that require more context than a simple mapping, such as error handling patterns, architectural modifications, and others.

These customizations are useful to:

• Modify the generated code to fulfill specific customer needs (e.g. company coding standards, application architecture changes, ActiveX replacement, etc.)
• Increase automation to:
  • Reduce manual intervention to fix migrated code.
  • Reduce compilation and runtime errors of migrated code.

These types of customizations were used by Vertex, a leading global BPO and customer management outsourcing business located in the United Kingdom, as documented in the case study:

“Vertex decided to migrate the Omiga application to C# using a customized version of the VB6 AI Migrator, a tool developed by GAPVelocity AI based on artificial intelligence technology. GAPVelocity AI was highly recommended by Microsoft UK, and the customization of this migration tool enabled Vertex to automatically convert coding patterns and meet its preferred standards.”*

These types of customizations require some modifications to the VB6 AI Migrator that can only be performed by GAPVelocity AI. It is a very valuable option that allows companies to get a higher-quality end product which furthers improves the return on investment from the migration.
