PowerBuilder, VB6, COBOL, Nexaweb and more, transformed into modern web applications. The model carries your business logic across, and automated testing proves it. Our engineers and AI handle the rest.
Trusted with enterprise modernization
74% of large enterprises have started a legacy modernization project and failed to finish it (Advanced, 2020 Mainframe Modernization Business Barometer). The survey does not say what stopped each one. What we can say is which question decides our own deals: can anyone prove the new system still does what the old one did. That is the question the model answers.
Your business rules move across through a model built from your real code. Nothing is re-typed by hand and nothing is guessed, so a rule cannot quietly come out meaning something different. We then check the result two ways: side-by-side testing runs both systems on the same inputs and compares the output, and the rules held in the model give a second check that does not depend on the tests.
90%+ of the conversion is generated from the model. Hand re-implementing decades of business rules is what turns modernization into a multi-year programme with an open-ended budget. Automation takes that off the critical path.
The output is standard web code your own developers already write, with no proprietary runtime underneath it and no license to keep paying. Your team maintains it, extends it, and hosts it wherever you want.
Your business logic is carried through the model, so it is never re-implemented by hand.
We read every line of your legacy source and build a model of its screens, data, and business rules. Gaps and dead code are surfaced rather than guessed at.
The new application is generated from the model. The result is built the way someone would build it today, instead of carrying thirty years of workarounds into a new language.
A standard web application your team owns, responsive and ready to extend on current frameworks.
The same engine behind 200+ enterprise modernizations since 2004, now available to your own team or behind your own brand.
Automated analysis of every screen, module, data path and dependency, the business rules embedded in them, and where the risk is concentrated. It recovers accurate documentation from systems whose own documentation went stale years ago.
The model is mapped onto a modern architecture and the new application is generated from it, 90%+ automated. Because the business logic travels through the model, the output can be verified against the original.
Most modernization specialists take on COBOL and stop there. PowerBuilder, Visual Basic 6, Oracle Forms and Reports, RPG on IBM i, Classic ASP, .NET WebForms, Delphi, Nexaweb and Biz/Browser run business-critical systems too, and they are just as hard to staff. They go through the same model and the same generator.
The model carries your business rules across. They are read straight out of your source code and mapped onto the new system, so nothing is re-typed by hand and nothing is guessed. The result is something you can check, rather than something that merely looks right.
AI speeds up the work around it: the custom pieces no automated conversion can handle, building the test coverage, and filling gaps where the original code is unclear or incomplete.
Our engineers have been working in COBOL, PowerBuilder, VB6 and RPG since 2004, and the analyzer was built out of that experience rather than pointed at a language nobody here has written. They check the result against the original and stand behind it. There is a fashionable idea that modernization should run with nobody in the loop. That is a comfortable promise right up until a core system in a bank or a hospital behaves differently on Monday morning than it did on Friday.
You have a business-critical legacy system that is getting harder and more expensive to maintain. Modernize it into clean, standard code without the risk of starting from scratch.

The same channel model that built our Japan business.
Partner with usVivify Technologies is a legacy-modernization specialist: we transform aging business systems into modern code their owners control. 200+ modernizations since 2004, engineering led from Japan, delivering directly and through SI partners.
Vivify Technologies modernizes legacy systems. Our model-driven engine reads PowerBuilder, VB6, COBOL, Nexaweb and other legacy applications into a complete model of what they do, then generates a standard modern web application, 90%+ automated, with the original business rules preserved.
Yes. PowerBuilder-to-web is one of our most common conversions. The same process covers VB6, COBOL, Nexaweb, and legacy web stacks; the approach is source-flexible.
Parse, transform, deliver: we read every line of the existing system into a model of its screens, data, and business rules, then generate the modern application from that model. Because a tool captures what the system does today, nothing depends on memory or stale documentation, and the same analysis can serve as the baseline specification for a rewrite.
Vivify Technologies is a brand of Fluxweave, with engineering led from Japan. We also deliver through established SI partnerships, and that partner model is expanding internationally.
We run our Code Analyzer across your source code and give you a dependency map, risk scoring, an effort model and a costed migration plan. It costs nothing and the plan is yours to keep.
