KSC Launches Object Technology Migration Services

- Software Migration Services are a Promising Alternative to Expensive, Time Intensive and Often High Risk Re-writes for Businesses -

Cary, NC -- Knowledge Systems Corporation (KSC), a leading Technology Transition company based in North Carolina, has formally launched its Software Migration Services offering.  Migrating software systems eases the burden of IT executives as well as programmers by preserving a company’s existing investment in complex software systems and their demonstrated, time-tested reliability.

KSC’s Software Migration Services allows companies to relocate existing production software to a more desirable language and/or environment and preserve the “brainpower” used to build the original system rather than recreate the system from scratch.

Migrating complex software systems saves millions of dollars and valuable resources at a time when the economy demands reliable, cost-effective and cutting-edge technology solutions.   

"For years, many companies have been re-writing their software systems from scratch to take advantage of different development tools, languages or platforms.  Migration is a way to reduce development costs and improve return on investment. Migration transforms an existing software system and is inherently less risky and costly than new development. Companies are finding this particularly important with the uncertainty in the economy."  Allen Davis, Chief Executive Officer said. 

In addition to preserving the integrity and tremendous financial investment of a company’s existing software system, migrations provide solutions to challenges such as dwindling vendor support services, company standardization projects, shortage of expert staff, and the expense of ongoing run times fees.  KSC has worked with companies in numerous industries including: insurance, banking and financial, telecommunications, warehousing and distribution logistics, healthcare and manufacturing.

Established in 1985, KSC has employed some of the nation’s defining authorities on Object Technology and its consulting and training business has grown alongside the Smalltalk, and later, the Java programming markets.  Smalltalk and Java are programming languages that have been used extensively in enterprise software development.

Possessing a depth of experience that is rare in the volatile client server/Web enabling programming segment, KSC focuses on transitioning companies from one technology to another in the areas of Object Technology and Web-based software.  Knowledge Systems Corporation is a full service provider of Technology Transition services including education, mentoring, consulting, staffing, as well as fixed-bid software migrations and platform conversions.  

Named as one of the Inc. 500’s list of fastest growing companies for five years in a row, KSC offers a longstanding success record and a wealth of technical expertise to its clients.  For more information about KSC, please visit their website at http://www.ksc.com.
