Services

 

SimuLogics can provide a number of valuable services to preserve and enhance any given legacy application in its move to open systems.  All are designed to save time and money while giving the client the maximum benefit.  Flexible pricing for different services and solutions exist to meet almost any business need and are designed to give the most benefit for the least cost.
 

Custom Software Drivers

Device drivers may be created for reNOVAte to emulate virtually any type of special hardware.  Custom drivers can eliminate changes to current system object and source code thereby insuring complete system compatibility and certifiability.  It may also be the quickest and most cost-effective  way to get challenging applications running on totally new platforms.

Examples of custom software drivers written for clients include proprietary disk drivers, special transparent-access to user terminals and unmentionable enhancements for certain, uhmmm... unmentionable organizations.
 
Custom Hardware

Some legacy systems use custom hardware in conjunction with special software.  SimuLogics can help design and build any custom hardware required by an application and combine it with custom device drivers.

 
Legacy Enhancements

Current legacy systems can even be enhanced to look more "modern" by adding special features to reNOVAte.  This gives immediate benefits by enhancing user acceptance on new platforms and extends the life span of the application - all without changing any source or object code.
