Development & AI Integration for OpenEdge 

Build modern OpenEdge applications for what´s next

Modern OpenEdge applications need more than technical upgrades.

They require:

• scalable backend architectures
• modern frontend experiences
• structured APIs and integrations
• automated delivery workflows
• AI-ready service architectures

Consultingwerk helps OpenEdge teams implement these capabilities step by step — combining deep OpenEdge expertise with modern full-stack development, integration, DevOps, and AI engineering.

From prototype to production

We develop complete applications, individual modules, lighthouse projects, and prototypes — particularly when introducing new technologies or turning a validated modernization approach into a working solution.

Our teams work with your requirements, standards, and existing development processes. We can use your project management and source control environments or provide our own, allowing new capabilities to be implemented without disrupting ongoing development and maintenance.

Once delivered, we provide structured handover and knowledge transfer to your development team and can continue to support and maintain the solution where required.

Extend and modernize existing applications

Modernization does not always require a new application. We help teams evolve existing OpenEdge solutions through refactoring, new functionality, bug fixing, integration, and incremental architectural improvements.

This allows you to modernize step by step while protecting the business logic, domain knowledge, and investment already contained in your OpenEdge applications.

Full-stack OpenEdge engineering

Our developers and software architects bring experience across the full spectrum of OpenEdge application development — from established TTY, GUI, GUI for .NET, and Application Server applications to modern service-based and web architectures.

We combine deep OpenEdge and ABL expertise with technologies such as JavaScript, TypeScript, Angular, .NET, Blazor, Java, and Telerik, as well as headless services, REST APIs, and modern integration patterns. This allows us to modernize existing applications without losing sight of the technologies and business logic they are built on.

AI integration built around your applications

We help you move from AI readiness to practical AI implementation. This can include integrating AI services with existing OpenEdge applications, making application capabilities and data securely accessible to AI-enabled services, and developing features and workflows that make practical use of AI.

The focus is not AI for its own sake. We identify and implement use cases where AI can create meaningful value for your users, development teams, and business processes while fitting into your existing application architecture.

Development teams that fit your project

We provide individual developers or complete development teams for short- and long-term engagements. Our teams can complement your existing development resources or take responsibility for clearly defined projects and deliverables.

Projects can be managed by Consultingwerk or integrated into your own project organization. When additional capacity or specialized expertise is required, our established partner network allows us to scale development resources with people and organizations we know and trust.
