Clarion Expertise for New and Existing Systems
New Business Systems
Analysis, design and development of new desktop, client/server, enterprise and web-connected applications.
SQL & Data
SQL Server, database design, reporting, performance improvement and TPS/DAT-to-SQL conversions.
How We Can Help
Build a New System
We take new software from requirements and systems analysis through design, development, QA, implementation and ongoing support. Projects can range from focused utilities to complete enterprise business systems.
Discuss a New System
Web Systems & Integrations
Clarion can remain at the centre of a modern solution. We develop web-based components, APIs, portals and integrations, using C#, PHP, Python and other technologies where they are the right fit.
Discuss Web & API Work
Modernize an Existing Application
Move valuable Clarion software forward through version migrations, Legacy and ABC work, SQL conversions, interface improvements, reporting and selective integration with newer technologies.
Discuss Modernization
When Your Clarion Developer Is No Longer Available
A mature Clarion application can contain years or decades of business rules and operational knowledge. Losing the original developer does not automatically mean that proven software must be replaced.
We can step into an existing system to:
- Understand the source code, data and business processes
- Stabilize an undocumented or partially completed application
- Resolve difficult bugs, performance issues and database problems
- Complete enhancements and add new functionality
- Modernize selectively rather than rewriting without a business case
- Provide dependable ongoing development and support
We can also assess the current system and help management determine what should be retained, improved, converted or replaced.
