DESSS provides Visual FoxPro migration services in San Antonio for organizations that need to retire unsupported FoxPro applications. We assess the application, document its rules, move data to SQL Server and rebuild it on .NET, with parallel running before cutover.
In San Antonio, FoxPro often still runs healthcare supply, manufacturing, quality and government contracting systems. Because Visual FoxPro has been unsupported since 2015, these systems increasingly come up in security reviews and audits.
A migrated system can add modern security such as role-based access, encryption and audit logs. See our main Visual FoxPro migration page.
Unsupported since 2015
Microsoft ended extended support for Visual FoxPro 9 in January 2015. It no longer receives fixes.
Business logic preserved
Rules hidden in FoxPro code are documented and carried into the new system.
Phased and low risk
Data first, then screens and reports, with old and new running side by side.
How we work in San Antonio
Remote delivery with on-site sessions in San Antonio, from our Houston headquarters and Austin office.

FOXPRO MIGRATION
What a Visual FoxPro migration involves
FoxPro applications often hold decades of business rules. These are the areas we handle so nothing is lost.
Reports and integrations
What about FoxPro reports and file exports? FoxPro reports are rebuilt in SSRS, Power BI or Crystal Reports, and file exports or imports are replaced with reliable integrations to accounting, ERP and partner systems.
–Report rebuilds
–Export and import jobs
–ERP and accounting links
–Scheduled tasks
Parallel running and cutover
How do we switch over safely? Where possible, old and new systems run in parallel with the same data so results can be compared, then cutover happens at a quiet time with rollback options.
–Parallel run period
–Result comparison
–Cutover weekend plan
–Post-launch support
Application assessment
Where does a FoxPro migration start? With an inventory of forms, reports, programs, tables and integrations, plus interviews with the people who use the system daily, to understand what it really does.
–Code and table inventory
–User interviews
–Integration map
–Risk and effort estimate

WHY DESSS
Why San Antonio teams choose DESSS for Visual FoxPro migration
A FoxPro migration partner needs to read old FoxPro code fluently and build modern systems well.
Phased, low-risk approach
Data first, then screens, with parallel running before cutover.
FoxPro fluency
Our team still supports FoxPro systems, so we can read and trace legacy code accurately.
Texas-based team
Headquartered in Houston with an office in Austin, and on site in San Antonio when it matters.
Yes. DESSS provides Visual FoxPro migration services in San Antonio.We work with San Antonio clients remotely and on site, from our Houston headquarters and Austin office.
It can be. Visual FoxPro has received no security updates since 2015, DBF files have limited access control, and the 32-bit runtime limits modern hardening. Security and audit teams increasingly flag it.
