Consulting & Enablement for OpenEdge Modernization  

Make the Right Modernization Decisions

We help OpenEdge organizations assess existing applications and architectures, define practical modernization strategies, prepare applications and teams for AI, and equip developers with the skills and tools to implement change successfully.

With more than 15 years of OpenEdge consulting experience, we combine deep OpenEdge and ABL expertise with modern software architecture, development practices, and technologies. Our goal is to help you increase flexibility, reduce risk and operational costs, and continuously improve the way your applications are developed and operated.

Architecture guidance and assessment

We assess existing applications, architectures, system environments, development processes, and teams to establish a clear picture of the status quo. From there, we provide practical architecture guidance and help define a roadmap that addresses technical challenges, improves maintainability, and supports changing business requirements.

Modernization strategy

Modernization does not have to mean replacing everything. Together with your development team, we develop modernization strategies tailored to your application, organization, and business goals. We validate approaches through prototypes, estimate modernization efforts, and help select or develop the tools and technologies needed to make modernization achievable and manageable.

AI readiness

AI is creating new opportunities for both software development and business applications. We help OpenEdge organizations evaluate where AI can provide real value, assess whether existing applications, architectures, development processes, and data are ready for AI-enabled scenarios, and identify practical steps toward adopting AI without compromising the reliability of existing systems.

Practical enablement for OpenEdge teams

Technology alone does not modernize an organization. We provide coaching, mentoring, training, and certification for OpenEdge developers, helping teams make effective use of modern development techniques and the latest capabilities of OpenEdge and ABL.

We also help teams adopt right-sized agile methodologies and support broader agile transformation with experienced, certified Scrum Masters. Our goal is not simply to recommend change, but to enable your team to implement, maintain, and continuously improve it.
