It no longer runs on modern Windows
16-bit programs do not run on 64-bit Windows. They depend on emulators, workarounds or one old PC nobody dares to switch off.
For businesses in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Central America
Does your business still run on a DOS, Clipper or FoxPro program?
We move it to a modern web application, in Spanish, that works from any computer or phone. We keep all of your history: clients, accounts, payments and balances, verified to the cent.

The risks of staying on the old system
If your program “has always worked”, it is easy to put this off. But the risk grows every year:
One machine, one point of failure
If that PC or server breaks, is stolen or its power supply fails, the business stops and the data may be lost.
No remote access
It can only be used from the office, or over remote connections limited to one or two people at a time.
No reliable backups
Often the backup is a manual copy to a USB stick, when someone remembers. Nobody has ever tested restoring it.
Electronic invoicing (DTE)
In El Salvador the tax authority requires electronic tax documents from more and more businesses, and the region is moving the same way. A DOS program cannot connect.
Key-person risk
The original programmer is gone, or only one person knows “how it works”. Without them, nobody can fix it or pull a report.
What we do
A complete, end-to-end service. You keep working; we handle the technical side.
We migrate your data without losing history
We read your system's files directly (DBF, NTX, CDX and others), repair damaged records and check the totals against the original system.
Same process, now on the web
We rebuild the screens your team already knows (clients, accounts, cashier, receipts, reports) in a clear, fast web app.
Users and permissions
Everyone gets their own login and role (administrator, cashier, read-only), with a log of who did what and when.
Automatic backups
Daily database backups with regular restore tests. Your data no longer depends on a USB stick.
Training environment
A practice copy where your staff can learn without risking the real data before the switch.
Access from anywhere
From the office, from home or from a phone, over a secure connection (HTTPS). Nothing to install.
Your own domain and email
We set up your domain (www.yourcompany.com) and professional email if you don't have them yet.
How we work
- 1
Assessment
We review your current system, its files and how your team uses it, and give you a written scope and quote.
- 2
Safe copy
We take a read-only copy of your data. Your original system is not modified.
- 3
Verified migration
We load the data into a modern database (PostgreSQL) and reconcile counts and totals against the original, to the cent.
- 4
New application
We build the screens and reports you need, with your logo, in Spanish.
- 5
Parallel training
Your team practises in a test environment while the old system keeps running. We refresh the data regularly.

Switch and support
When you approve, we do the final switch. Then monthly support, backups and maintenance.

Frequently asked questions
Will I lose data from previous years?
No. We migrate all the history in your files and reconcile counts and totals against the original system. If we find damaged records, we report them rather than hide them.
Can I keep using my current system meanwhile?
Yes. The old system keeps working until switch day, and we refresh the new application's data regularly in the meantime.
How long does it take?
It depends on the size of the system and how many processes it has. After the assessment we give you a written timeline.
Do I need new computers?
Usually not. The application runs in the browser of any current computer, tablet or phone.
Where is my data kept? Who owns it?
The data is yours. It lives on a dedicated server with encrypted access and daily backups, and we hand you a copy whenever you ask.
Which legacy systems can you migrate?
Clipper, dBase, FoxPro and Visual FoxPro, plus Excel sheets and Access databases. If yours is something else, ask us.
What about electronic invoicing?
Once your data is in a modern database, we can prepare the connection to a certified e-invoicing provider. We evaluate it in the assessment.
Do you work outside El Salvador?
Yes. We work remotely with businesses in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and the rest of Central America.
