From Gupta to Microsoft .NET - Safe and easy.

How to proceed

The steps to start the migration project are quite easy. We do it in a way that guarantees the customer at every step. First, we provide you with a free evaluation of your system with a ballpark estimate of the cost, time and effort. Second, you select to execute a Proof of Concept and a detailed evaluation of your system. Third, we prepare a fixed price guaranteed proposal according to your indications.

Free Evaluation

Start by contacting us at sales@iceteagroup.com.

We will put you in contact with the Premium Porting Partner that handles porting projects in your area. The partner will follow up with you on how to exchange documents and code securely.

We will also send you a Mutual Non Disclosure Agreement to protect your (and our) technology and processes. We can use your version of the same document if necessary.

We will provide you with our automated inventory tool. The tool crawls your project tree and generates a XML file that we can use to provide you with a ballpark estimate for the project.

Optionally you can submit a small application, including some reports, if you want to see some of your code migrated to C# or VB.NET.

The end result is a ballpark estimate of the time, effort and potential problems related to the project.


Proof of Concept

Once you have approved the ballpark estimate, you may select to run a Proof of Concept (POC) using a small application in your system or a reduced subset of your main application.

The Proof of Concept usually costs very little (between USD/EUR 2K and USD/EUR 8K). If you are an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) we may have POC financing available from Microsoft.

With a POC you will be able to run, test and fully evaluate your own code running in Visual Studio .NET.

Fixed Price

The last step in the sales process is the fixed price guaranteed proposal. After we have gathered enough information about your requirements and your project, we prepare a fixed price proposal.

Depending on the complexity of the system and the level of detailed analysis required by the project, there may be a small cost related to the preparation of the fixed price proposal.

Total guarantee

You have full control at every step of the way. Our process is fully open and we share all information with your organization during the entire project.

The final goal is a successful project and we never forget it.
