RapidSharp Subscription
The RapidSharp subscription provides a complete suite of products to automatically convert existing PowerBuilder business logic to standard C# with open & standard cloud architecture. It substantially reduces time and cost compared to a full rewrite.
Why Migrate with RapidSharp?
Highly Automated
Automatically migrates 80-95% of PowerBuilder business logic to C#, including non-visual PowerScript, non-visual system functions, embedded SQL, DataWindows, NVOs and EAServer NVOs.
Port, Not Rewrite
Faithfully replicates your PowerBuilder business logic in C# so that a deep understanding of the original source code is not required for a successful migration.
Product, Not Service
Performs the C# migration by yourself using the provided conversion tools and open-source C# libraries, eliminating the expense and risk of third parties to perform services.
Zero Dependency
RapidSharp generates pure C# code and includes the source code of all the C# libraries. As such, there is zero dependency on any particular vendor or tool to maintain the migrated application.
Migration to C# with RapidSharp
RapidSharp ports PowerBuilder business logic to C#, which is the most valuable and complex layer in PowerBuilder applications. It provides a comprehensive suite of tools for automatically converting PowerBuilder to C#, automatically creating REST APIs, rapidly testing and debugging of REST APIs, and rapidly publishing your project.
