Delphi is outdated as a programming language and should be replaced by newer technologies in many cases. If this is not done, it will lead to security gaps or stalled growth. An increasing risk is the lack of delphi developers as prospective software developers do not learn this language.

It is therefore important to have a competent partner like soxes at your side. With over 20 years of experience in individual software development, soxes has the expertise to take over old Delphi applications, analyse them, continue programming and, if necessary, carry out re-engineering.

Delphi-Reengineering - Eine Investition in die Zukunft

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

Robert Schmuck, CTO soxes

Our developers specialize in the maintenance of existing solutions and the modernization of legacy software. We revise, stabilize and reprogram your Delphi modules.

Do you want to go one step further with us? We bring outdated applications back into the present by porting them to modern and more powerful technologies such as C# or Python during the re-engineering process. This makes your software run better, faster and more securely.

We offer solutions for your problems.

  • Your existing Delphi application urgently needs new functions, but the knowledge within the team is lacking?

  • Your Delphi application no longer works reliably on modern operating systems and you fear that it will soon fail completely? Are you looking for a solution to modernise your software effectively?

  • You have a complex Delphi application that is difficult to maintain and regularly causes problems - are you looking for a Delphi specialist to optimise and stabilise your software in the long term?

Problems with outdated Delphi systems

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 Thus, Delphi is becoming more and more of a legacy system – a outdated computer software or hardware that is still used by companies, but is in need of major improvements.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.

Are you looking for a suitable partner for your Delphi restructuring? Take the first step towards the successful implementation of your project and contact us for more information.

C# and Python: modern alternatives to Delphi

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.

Why soxes for Delphi programming and Delphi replacement?

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

Delphi - An overview

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.

Update and maintenance of Delphi software

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 now outdated and in many cases should be replaced by newer technologies.

soxes 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.
