This service is intended for those who have authored their own product on one platform and would like to have it play back on another platform that is not supported by their current development tool. We provide conversion services to/from the following fourth generation (4GL) authoring tools, databases and Internet technologies:

The basic approach is to have us evaluate your software to determine the time/complexity in doing the conversion and identifying possible tradeoffs in performing the conversion.

If you are interested in having us evaluate your software absolutely free, the next steps are as follows:

1. Fill out our questionnaire in order to help us best determine which environment is the best for your particular situation and what your intentions are for the conversion.
2. Send us an unlocked copy of the software that you would like to have converted. We keep every client’s software (as well as the assets used in that software) strictly confidential, and would be more than willing to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) or Confidentiality Agreement if you wish to provide one, or we can provide a Confidentiality Agreement for you.
3. We will then examine your software and create a Structural Profile. Any supporting information you may have such as navigational flow diagrams, database requirements, etc. will help speed up the process. There may be some additional communication in order to nail down any questions we may have on the structure.
4. We will then do an evaluation on the structure and determine the time/cost range estimate for the actual conversion.
5. We will then send you a copy of the Structural Profile and the time/cost range estimate via e-mail for your review.
6. When you accept the estimate, we will move forward and set up a formal project schedule with defined milestones that identify specific deliverables, and send you the Software Conversion Contract for your signature. After that, we're off and running!

If you are interested in having us evaluate your software, or to inquire about our rates for conversion, please contact us at evaluations@sonsothunder.com.

Sons of Thunder Software creates custom software applications for our clients. We create software solutions that run on Macintosh, Windows and Unix operating systems. In order to maximize productivity, we develop most of our solutions using fourth-generation languages (4GLs) such as Revolution or Microsoft Visual Basic and/or a database environments such as ACIUS 4th Dimension or Microsoft Access, filling in whatever additional functionality is needed with C/C++ extensions.

As a new service offering, we can now perform custom Windows Mobile and Palm OS development for PDAs and Smart Phones. These applications can be designed to synchronize with comparable desktop applications providing "on-the-go" solutions to your business needs.

If you are interested in our custom development services, please contact us at customdev@sonsothunder.com.

In addition to our software conversion and custom development services, Sons of Thunder Software will also work with you in developing your own products and processes. We have experience in a wide variety of business, productivity, authoring, database and networking tools, and years of practical experience that will allow us to recommend appropriate software and/or hardware solutions.
