Designed for continuity
Every old system carries years of decisions inside it, some good, some made under pressure nobody remembers anymore. My team's job is to understand that history well enough to carry forward what actually works, instead of throwing it out and starting over. That's what I find genuinely interesting about this work: nothing gets lost just because it's old, it either keeps running or turns into something better.

Can you recommend a step-by-step process for successful code migration?
Yes: assess, convert code, migrate the database, validate, cut over. Scope size and coupling first, then CodeWays converts the application code — source, embedded SQL, business logic, and database APIs. Test the converted logic against the source before cutover — each stage is a checkpoint you validate before the next depends on it.
