FAQ

FoxPro replacement costs

Strategy and budget

What does a FoxPro replacement cost?

Stabilisation often starts around EUR 22,000 excl. VAT. Full migration or rebuild depends on forms, data and business logic.

Should FoxPro be migrated or rebuilt?

An analysis separates reusable business logic from technical debt. A rebuild makes sense when processes and UI need a fundamental redesign anyway.

Why do forms and reports matter?

Every form contains validations, permissions and edge cases. Reports often hide additional calculation and export logic.

Assess FoxPro risk

We review code, DBF data and the target architecture.

Migration and operations

How are DBF data migrated safely?

Data profiles, mapping, test migrations and business-level checksums protect history and relationships before go-live.

Is parallel operation useful?

For business-critical systems a limited parallel phase can reduce risk, but it needs clear write rules and reconciliation reports.

What experience does Groenewold IT bring?

Our team modernises legacy software Made in Germany in Leer and combines direct domain collaboration with a documented, testable target architecture.

Typical pricing models (overview)

Comparison: typical pricing models for software and IT projects
ModelWhen it fitsBudget & flexibilityTypical risks
Fixed price (fixed scope)Clearly defined scope, stable requirements, repeatable delivery.Predictable total cost; little room for change without a change order.Scope creep leads to change orders or quality trade-offs.
Time & MaterialDiscovery, legacy, evolving requirements, or close collaboration.Maximum flexibility; budget transparent via hourly or daily rates.Without prioritisation, effort can grow—backlog and reviews matter.
Retainer / maintenance packageOngoing operations, updates, small features, and support.Agreed capacity per month; predictable follow-on cost.Large changes may still need a separate estimate.
Hybrid (milestone + T&M)MVP or phased releases with clear go-lives, then iterate.Core delivery fixed price; extensions on a time-and-materials basis.Define contractually what is in scope vs. extra work.

Calculators on this page provide indicative ranges; we choose the right model with you based on risk, scope, and planning horizon.
