CodeWays transforms applications for your business efficiency
CodeWays is a part of the Ispirer Toolkit that handles cross-platform application migration. The tool automatically migrates source code between two programming languages. In addition, the tool can change the architecture of the application, for example, from desktop to web-based.

Customized software, designed just for you
The customization of Ispirer Toolkit for your project allow you to achieve the optimal level of automatic conversion.
How it works: turning challenges into tailored solutions
Manual conversion speed – 300-400 lines of code per day per developer.
Conversion speed after using the software – 3-5K lines of code per day per developer.

How much does CodeWays cost?
Our pricing is license-based, license prices depend on the project size and its duration. Thus, the project price is determined only after a thorough analysis of an application. For this purpose, we have free Metrics that will automatically collect all the necessary information.
What migration directions does the tool support?
CodeWays supports a majority of legacy and modern programming languages. You can choose the required migration direction on the Application Conversion page.
Can I try CodeWays for free?
Yes, you can! To give you most out of our solution, we need some details about your project. Book a demo with our experts to discuss your migration direction, scope, and goals. This way, we can tailor CodeWays specifically for you.
How does CodeWays work with the source code?
CodeWays works with files containing the source code. The tool's convenient GUI makes it easy to specify all the files that need to be converted. Smart detection of project files and automatic selection of linked files simplify this process for Delphi, VB, C/C++, and COBOL.
Can CodeWays migrate applications in Command Line Mode?
Yes, migration can be started manually from the command line.
Can CodeWays help if I need to change only the interaction with the database?
Ispirer provides various services for applications including Embedded SQL and Database API migration. Learn more about our services.
