This existing application was written in ~1999 to manage the customer database, job tracking, invoicing, accounts receivable and a few reports for a small print company. It's currently running on a NT4.0Sp6 Server with 3 Windows 98SE clients. The original source has been lost, but the binaries exist. I believe it was written in Borland Interbase with a Sybase SQL database. I have been able to access the database using WISQL and ISQL, and the data will need to be ported to the new application. I will provide a VHD which you can run in Virtualbox of the entire NT 4.0 server, including the client application. The job is to rewrite this application to be able to run on a modern OS.

Dear Sir/ Madam, My name is Henry - the owner of PHAMTECH Co. My team is really interested in this project as it is exactly within our scope of expertise: We are web/ app design & development company located in Hochiminh city, VIETNAM. Working with a team who has both in-house DESIGNERS and PROGRAMMERS means that you can take advantage of both: Our designers could help revise the design even in coding process, which is a GREAT benefit for any ongoing project. + We plan and build. We don't use prebuilt templates which produce conflicting codes and bugs and hurt the system in the long term. + Our team is 100% in-house. We don't outsource projects elsewhere. So you pay for the real service - not marketing fee. In short, if you need an experienced team who offers *real English* communication, beautiful design & optimized code, premium after-service, in time and to budget, then we are the choice. If you need something based on solely ONE of the above criteria, then we're still happy if you decide to give another freelancer a chance. Just bookmark our Freelancer profile https://www.freelancer.com/u/phamtech211.html and come back in case the selected freelancer can't meet your demands. Best wishes, Henry.

I am interested in this project as the first project in the freelancer. To me it is important to get a good review of the project. I will try to create the most close analogy to the product that you are running. I want to clarify whether it is possible to create a new product based on the MS SQL 2014 Standart Edition and ASP.NET /WPF?

Hi, I have more than 20 years experience in software and database development. I did numerous projects converting old legacy databases and applications to .NET platform. If you select me I'll develop new application in C#, with MS SQL Server database server. I can develop it as either desktop or web application depending on your preference. If you choose desktop option, I would suggest to develop it as N-Tier application with back-end database server and application server (installed on the server computer) and client application which would be installed on pc/laptop. That way you would still be able to connect to your database both from office over LAN and out of the office from anywhere if you have Internet connection, while keeping all conveniences of real desktop application. Thanks Dragan Blagojevic

Hi there, I am new to freelancer from Australia. You project sounds really cool and what caught me was the Borland (I remember good old Borland Turbo C++ 1.0). My price might be way outside your budget but your project sounds like a lot of work to me. Since you don't have the original binaries we would be almost implementing from scratch. You do have the database tables and data but that is about all you have. I would suggest moving to maybe the Postgress DB (it is open source and free). I would implement the project in QT (modern, portable, open source and extremely functional API for GUI/database/networking/etc). It will be a database GUI application with some reports. I would prefer to see the application in detail before I accept the project (the VHD). If you have any further questions please send me a message. Good luck with your decision. Regards, Marcus P.S. I would complement you in that you are very wise to get a Virtualbox image of the server.

I would love to write this application for you. I will use software that's free. For example, using a SQL Express back end will give you the same speed and agility without the hefty license fee. The front end will be written in .NET and will be very user friendly. With this solution you'll receive an end to end demo, reference manual, and support until your comfortable with the system. In addition, all of the source code will be fully commented so you can make adjustments to the system in the future if needed. I have not completed any exams on here yet, but trust me you'll be in great hands. Currently I'm a Software Engineer and work with databases totaling 32 billion dollars on a daily basis.
