soxes brings a breath of fresh air to your Application. Are you looking for a software development partner specialized in software reengineering in Switzerland? Then soxes is the right address for you. Our customers benefit from more than 20 years of experience in the modernization of software solutions.
What is software re-engineering all about?
Many companies have application software and systems whose smooth operation is essential for success. They often form the foundation of the central work processes in companies and are therefore a valuable asset.
It is therefore important for the success of a company that these systems remain agile and scalable. Often, applications have been extended and complicated over several years. Such concocted architectures are a corset for any innovation-driven company.
We offer solutions for your problems.
Your technology is lagging behind, performance is suffering and knowledge within the team is being lost - do you want to future-proof your company and make progress in the area of digitalisation?
Your standard software cannot be customised to your specific requirements - do you need more flexibility?
In your company you lose too much time with inefficient processes and outdated software and you want an efficient software solution from A to Z that covers all important processes?
How do companies benefit from software reengineering?
Re-engineering applications is much more than just software maintenance. Through software re-engineering and digitization of processes, companies regain the upper hand over their systems.
The goal of reengineering is to ensure the software quality and its maintainability for a company in the long term. A Refactoring describes likewise quality-improving adjustments of a software, however on operational and rather short term level. A software Reengineering can contain Refactoring measures.
3 common reasons that speak for software reengineering
Is one of your legacy systems keeping your company on its toes? Software systems may be candidates for reengineering for reasons including the following:
Outdated technologies: Resulting lack of patches can lead to security vulnerabilities.
Loss of know-how: The company does not (or no longer) have the necessary expertise (e.g. programming language) to maintain and operate the software.
Expansion of an existing application: The requirements for an application change. In order to meet the new requirements, existing hurdles or weaknesses of the existing application must first be eliminated.
Our approach to software reengineering projects
Thanks to years of experience, re-engineering at soxes is approached with a proven Methodology.
First, the existing software (legacy software) is analyzed:
Based on the analysis, approaches to improve the software system are designed. Changes and restructurings are examined in detail.
The revision of the system is then carried out in the usual manner of software projects. The implementation of the revised software takes place only after extensive testing.
To what extent can software be modernized?
Reengineering can affect an entire software application or only selected software components. At soxes, experts analyze, evaluate and modernize your applications and show you ways to improve architectures with re-engineering. With architecture adaptation, modernization and process digitization, soxes creates security and opens up new integration possibilities for companies.
Modernising your legacy software through re-engineering not only ensures the future viability of your IT infrastructure, but also maximises the efficiency and competitiveness of your company. Robert Schmuck, Head of Development soxes AG
A practical example:
For a customer, soxes migrated a customer service application from the outdated programming language Delphi to the modern alternative C# in combination with .NET. Subsequently, the functionality of the software could be improved: Thanks to the reprogrammed centralized management of the database, the local installations of the software now draw their information from a single SQL Server database.

Modernizing legacy software at an early stage pays off
Outdated software can initially “only” lead to compatibility problems and instability. In a further step, they often entail high costs in maintenance and operation. In addition, they can also represent a significant security risk for your company and not only a danger to smooth business processes, but also to your data.
The sooner you address the problem, the cheaper it will be for your company to maintain the old system until it is modernized or replaced by a completely new system.
