Our process is premised on you or your company having important code, implemented in Perl. Your team once had deep Perl expertise, but that constituency has left your organization — and along with the knowledge that it took to maintain the codebase.

It's time to port it to something that better fits your ability to continue to maintain it. Maybe that's Python. Or Rust. Maybe even something more specialized. We can take that on. With deep expertise in both Perl and many other languages, we can give you expertly developed replacement code.

The first step in our process is to read the codebase and generate documentation. This allows us to convey the business value for the codebase and ensure that our client would like to proceed to do more than understand the code.

If proceeding for reimplementation, we write tests as necessary to ensure that we capture the behaviors of the current code and can port these to the new language or architecture to ensure that any reimplementation maintains the previous behavior.

Many of our clients want to move the code to their current language. Frequently, the newer language is really only part of the work — it includes looking at how the old process can fit in a newer architecture and newer business processes.

We have worked across many different architectures, across many different organizations, to ensure that the solution we build will continue to work for your organization.

If desired, we will reimplement the functionality in another language.

We offer a retainer-based model for maintenance of any solutions we document or build, which if needed offers a substantially lower hourly rate.
