Advantage Systems has developed an extensive library of programming code including data driven frameworks, application builders and report tools. These standard routines can be linked together like building blocks to form the foundation of your application. Component  application design allows your software application to be enhanced and changed quickly as your business needs change. Utilizing these techniques in combination with open standard messaging protocols such as SOAP ("Simple Object Access Protocols") Advantage Systems can develop custom software applications comparable with canned software packages in terms of cost and delivery time however, unlike canned software, your custom software will be designed exactly to meet your business requirements.
 

If you have an existing DBASE or FOXPRO application Advantage Systems can perform a full conversion to Visual FoxPro giving your application the latest state of the art features and performance. However, Advantage Systems realizes because of time and budget constraints, among other reasons, a full conversion may not be the best option for your business. In these cases Advantage Systems can perform a "phased conversion".

During a phased conversion Advantage Systems will attempt to reuse as much of your old code and tables as possible when converting your application to Visual FoxPro.  This will reduce the cost of the conversion and development time. A phased conversion will enable your application to run under the latest Microsoft operating systems such as Windows XP and Windows 2000. All new enhancements to your application will take advantage of the full feature set of Visual FoxPro. As the need arises, your current screens and reports can be fully converted to Visual FoxPro.
 

Advantage Systems also performs application testing and code reviews to make sure your application is written correctly and performs as expected prior to implementation. This service allows you to have a backup programming company that is already familiar with your application and code in the event of an emergency.
