The TranspositionStudio is the main tool of the Instant CloudMove solution for moving locally installed applications (at this stage VB6 and .NET) to native .NET web applications with HTML5 front-ends, that can be maintained and developed with standard Microsoft tools.
The Studio transposes most of the original client/server code to its new web-based environment automatically, without any user intervention. A unique built-in Mapping mechanism is used for the rest of the code (about only 5%) in order to bridge the gap between desktop and web or cloud technologies by cross-mapping controls/capabilities and defining appropriate rules. In adidtion to the migration benefits, the Studio also allows modernization capabilities such as code enhancements or total refactoring to the latest .NET or mobile capabilities.
The result is a high performance, low-risk solution for moving client/server applications to the post PC world and the fastest time to market compared to rewriting your applications or any other migration approach.
