S7 Software has signed a non-exclusive reseller agreement with Code-Architects, Italy that will enable S7 Software to distribute Code Architects’ VB Migration Partner. This agreement will enable customers in APAC and North America to migrate VB applications to .NET in less time and with significantly fewer compilation and runtime errors than those produced by other conversion tools.

Code Architects is an Italian software company specializing in software development, consulting, and training .NET Framework programming. They regularly consult for Microsoft Italy and their largest customers are banks, government agencies, and ISVs of any size. Their product VB Migration Partner relies on a sophisticated code parsing and analysis engine, which can handle VB6 project groups as well as constructs that have no direct equivalent in the .NET Framework world. VB Migration Partner is considered to be up to 8x faster than the Upgrade Wizard included in Visual Studio.

S7 Software is a Bangalore; India based company with offices in US specializing in VB migration. Having successfully migrated VB applications to .NET for customers in Retail, Manufacturing, ISVs…, S7 was mentioned by Forrester Research in their report “Keys to Successful VB Migration” (Jeffrey S Hammond, March 2007).

“Our goal is to provide a one-stop solution to all our VB customers in Americas and APAC” said Manjunath M Gowda, CEO, S7 Software “This reseller agreement to distribute VB Migration Partner will help us offer our customers an innovative software that converts VB application to .NET with highest accuracy. Combining the tool with our existing VB migration expertise makes S7 Software a safe option for companies thinking of migrating their VB application to .NET”.

“We are very happy to work together with S7 as a reseller.” said Francesco Balena, founder and Chief Software Architect at Code Architects. “Their proven experience with migration projects of any size and complexity, combined with the power of our VB Migration Partner software and our support for the convert-test-fix methodology, will enable many companies to smoothly migrate their VB6 apps to .NET in a fraction of the time that would be otherwise necessary.”

For companies with VB applications, the end-of-support by Microsoft to VB6 IDE offers a difficult option of migrating their applications to .NET. Code Architects’ VB Migration Partner and S7 Software’s VB migration expertise companies protect their investment on VB, avoid costly re-work, expand to newer markets and enable them to use new features of the target platforms.
