Click here to view invitation Microsoft Avanade and ArtinSoft | Migration Webinar



You are invited to an exclusive executive webinar on Wednesday, April 15th hosted by Microsoft, Avanade, and ArtinSoft. 

This webinar is focused on quick and cost-effective methods for moving critical applications out of obsolescence.

A number of business reasons continue to compel companies like yours to move away from legacy platforms such as VB6 and ASP.

The need to lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) with easier integration of enterprise systems, to improve developer productivity and reduce specialty skills, and to consider compliance and scalability issues continue to drive companies to search for legacy transformation and migration options.

Artinsoft’s Visual Basic Upgrade Companion (VBUC) is the industry-leading tool for migrating from VB6 to .NET, offering 80% savings against a manual re-write and a 4x lower timeframe. Don’t miss this chance to learn more about VBUC and other cost effective migration options, including:

• Which migration strategy works best for you (complete, partial,
  coexistent, partial development)
• How to reduce project risk, costs, and time to market
• How to guarantee business continuity by preserving knowledge
  invested in legacy applications

All attendees will be given a complimentary copy of the ArtinSoft VB6 Upgrade Assessment Tool, which works by analyzing application components and relationships from a migration perspective.

Past webinars have reached capacity in less than a week, so register early to guarantee your spot!
