Project Summary

KitRUM updated and maintained an EMG systems vendor's legacy C++ source code so it compiles with current Microsoft Visual Studio versions. The vendor fixed compiler errors, provides ongoing C++ maintenance, and adapts to a complex, industry-specific file format. Communication is via email/GitHub and the engagement is ongoing with the client expressing high satisfaction.

Key Challenges

Legacy source code (20 years) no longer compiled with current Microsoft Visual Studio
Original developer retired leaving code unmaintained

Project Deliverables

Source code fixes to resolve compiler errors and restore build compatibility with current Microsoft Visual Studio
Ongoing C++ code maintenance and updates
Knowledge transfer and support integrating industry-specific file formats

Project Solution

The vendor received the client's original source code and fixed all compiler errors to make legacy C++ projects compile with the current Microsoft Visual Studio. They perform ongoing code maintenance in C++, work with a complex industry-specific file format, and coordinate via GitHub and email. The engagement began in April 2019 and continues as the parties discuss additional functional changes.

Project Outcome
