Delphi Programming Services Company in Switzerland

Delphi is not simply «getting older». It is a massive risk for your software landscape and therefore for your entire company. Outdated systems, security gaps, missing integrations, growing incompatibilities and a huge skills shortage: the clock is ticking.

Act now or regret it later. Your decision.

And it’s not getting any better! Developers with Delphi know-how are disappearing from the market. Updates are becoming a nail-biter. Extensions? Hardly possible. You are dependent on technology that is no longer keeping pace.

Time for modernization!
As a Delphi programming company, we specialize in just such cases: We take over existing Delphi applications, make them maintainable again, develop them further or migrate them to modern technologies. Efficient, well thought-out and with a plan that works.

Even if not all Delphi applications require immediate re-engineering, it can make sense to invest in the future now. As Delphi re-engineering experts, our developers are at your side with individual solutions and ideas.

In current programming language rankings, Delphi can be found in the low single digits. Thus, Delphi is becoming more and more of a legacy system – a outdated computer software or hardware that is still used by companies, but is in need of major improvements.

These older technologies leave little room for growth, and efficient interaction with new systems is usually non-existent. Companies that have to use such legacy programs are therefore confronted with problems that make efficient maintenance and further development difficult. With the help of the right partner, however, it is not impossible to break out of this vicious circle. With over 20 years of experience, soxes has the experience and expertise to help you secure your current Delphi environment and restructure it efficiently.

Another risk: In many cases, there is a lack of up-to-date or even existing documentation. The knowledge about the Delphi application is often only in the heads of individual employees. If this key person leaves the company, valuable know-how is lost – and with it the opportunity to continue running the system securely and efficiently.

C# and Python are good alternatives to Delphi. C#, part of Microsoft’s .NET framework, is known for its versatility in developing desktop and web applications. Python is the most widely used programming language and stands out for its ease of use and flexibility, making it ideal for a variety of projects, from websites to data analysis. Both offer extensive support and resources thanks to large user communities, making them attractive options for software projects.

If a system, a mode of operation or individual programs are outdated, they need to be modernized. This requires time, as a legacy program tends to be very extensive, expertise and the associated costs, which should not be underestimated. After all, software problems of this kind did not arise overnight and therefore cannot be solved overnight.

For this reason, many companies shy away from change or are reluctant to migrate to a new system due to the high costs involved. However, to ensure that systems or programs run smoothly and up to date and that personal or company-internal data is protected, maintenance or even updating of existing mechanisms is unavoidable in many cases.

Reasons why you should replace your Delphi application can be found here.

Delphi has been one of the best-known programming languages for over 25 years and is used in a wide range of applications. Although version Delphi 1, developed in February 1995, has been continuously updated to this day, Delphi is outdated and in most cases should be replaced by newer technologies.

What is application modernization?

Application modernization means technically and functionally updating existing legacy systems such as Delphi applications. The goal is to make outdated software future-proof by migrating it to modern technologies and platforms. This often involves switching to a cloud-first architecture, refactoring code, or even completely redeveloping it based on modern principles such as microservices.

soxes as a custom software development company specializes in the maintenance and modernization of existing solutions. We bring outdated applications back into the present by integrating modern and more powerful technologies or carry out a complete re-engineering at your request. Look to the future together with us.

With soxes, your company gains a partner with expertise and reliability. For over 20 years, our company has stood for top quality in the development, programming, modernization and outsourcing of software.

With its services, soxes covers the entire life cycle of IT development (design, consulting, development and support).

For example, soxes has taken over the re-engineering of existing Delphi solutions for Wilux Print AG. Our developers migrated several applications to the C# programming language. Until the re-engineering, each of the many local applications used its own database. These individual and partially redundant instances were replaced by a central database. As a result, processes and programs have been accelerated and the security of the company’s internal data has been improved many times over.

We are happy to modernize your old software – for more efficiency, security and future viability.

Delphi is by definition a dialect of the Object Pascal programming language and has been one of the best-known development environments for more than 25 years. The first version, released in February 1995, was primarily used for educational purposes and has since been constantly developed further to meet the growing requirements of Delphi programmers.

It is no coincidence that the name of the Delphi development environment is reminiscent of the Oracle of Delphi, but it is primarily a reference to the Oracle database system. As the environment is primarily geared towards databases, it was given the title of the most famous oracle of ancient Greece.

Just like the legendary oracle, Delphi is now outdated and should be replaced by newer technologies in many cases with a view to the future. If this is not done, it can lead to security gaps, system errors or – due to a lack of specialists – problems with maintainability. It is therefore all the more important to have a competent partner like soxes at your side. In some cases, re-engineering is indispensable, especially for old versions.
