Uniface Migration Services: AI-Accelerated App Redevelopment

See it in action

From Uniface 4GL to a modern, secure, and scalable codebase.

A simplified example of how business logic and UI are redeveloped. Actual conversion preserves your application’s full logic, verified module by module against the original.

Uniface 4GL (illustrative)

trigger validate
  if (Qty <= 0)
    message "Qty must be > 0"
    return
  endif

  Total = Qty * Price

  if (Total > CreditLimit)
    message "Exceeds credit limit"
    return
  endif
end

.NET C# (business logic)
public class OrderValidator
{
  public Result Validate(Order o)
  {
    if (o.Qty <= 0)
      return Fail("Qty must be > 0");

    o.Total = o.Qty * o.Price;

    if (o.Total > o.CreditLimit)
      return Fail("Exceeds credit limit");

    return Success();
  }
}
React (UI layer)
function OrderForm({ order }) {
  const err = validate(order);

  return (
    <Form>
      <QtyInput value={order.qty} />
      {err && <Error text={err} />}
      <Submit disabled={!!err} />
    </Form>
  );
}

The challenge

Why Uniface applications need to move, and why now

Hover each card to read the full picture.

The problem

Your Uniface application works.
But it’s costing you.

Uniface specialists are harder to find, licensing and specialist costs keep rising, and modern integrations take extra effort.

The problem

Your Uniface application works. But it’s costing you.

Uniface isn’t ageing technology. It’s still actively supported and evolving, and applications built on it continue to run reliably. The real cost sits around it: Uniface specialists are harder to find and more expensive to hire every year, licensing costs add up over time, and integrating with modern tools and services takes more effort than it does on mainstream stacks, even though that integration is entirely achievable. The longer the move waits, the more those costs compound.

The solution

TFT removes the
uncertainty.

In-house Uniface engineers plus AI-assisted conversion, reviewed by engineers every time.

The solution

TFT removes the uncertainty.

Modernising Uniface isn’t a simple migration. It takes engineers who understand what the application actually does, not just what the code says. TFT pairs in-house Uniface engineers, who extract and document your business logic, with a modern-stack team who rebuild it right, using AI-assisted tooling to accelerate analysis and code conversion, with every module reviewed by engineers before it ships.

Choose your foundation

The right technology for your organisation

TFT has no preferred stack. We recommend what fits your architecture, your team’s skills, and your long-term roadmap.

Back-end options

.NET

Best for Microsoft-ecosystem teams needing deep Azure integration, strong typing, and enterprise-grade tooling.

Java

Best for on-premise or multi-cloud environments, existing Java expertise, and long-term portability across infrastructure.

Python

A complementary choice alongside .NET or Java where data processing, analytics, or ML capability is a growing strategic priority.

Front-end options

React

The widest hiring pool and component ecosystem, with a mature, well-documented framework.

Angular

Best for larger teams that benefit from an opinionated, batteries-included framework with built-in structure.

TFT provides a formal stack recommendation as part of the Discovery phase. The final decision is always yours.

How it works

Five structured steps from Uniface to your modern stack, with a deliverable at every stage

Each phase is scoped before it begins. You always know what’s happening, what you’ll receive, and what comes next.

~2 hours

Discovery

We agree on project scope, objectives, and deliverables together. This creates a clear and collaborative approach to the redevelopment from day one, aligning expectations before any analysis work begins.

Why TFT

What makes TFT the right partner for Uniface migration

Most modern-stack teams have never opened a Uniface application. TFT is different in three ways that matter. Hover each card to read more.

AI-accelerated redevelopment

AI-accelerated redevelopment

TFT’s AI-assisted tooling analyses your Uniface codebase, maps business logic, and generates conversion artefacts, improving accuracy, reducing manual engineering effort, and significantly compressing the analysis and conversion timeline. Every output is reviewed and validated by engineers before it ships. This changes the cost and timeline equation fundamentally without sacrificing quality or correctness.

50+ man-years of Uniface expertise

50+ man-years of Uniface expertise

TFT is not a general-purpose SI learning Uniface on your project. Our team has built substantial Uniface experience across multiple versions, databases, and industries: pattern recognition no newcomer has. That means accurate scoping from day one, faster identification of hidden complexity, and fewer surprises mid-project.

In-house Uniface resources

Hover to read more

In-house Uniface resources

The engineers who read your Uniface codebase are TFT’s own team, not subcontracted specialists brought in for the analysis phase and then replaced. They stay on the project from Discovery through to Deployment, briefing the modern-stack team on every module and resolving ambiguities before they become defects. One team, one contract, no handoff risk.

Track record

What backs TFT’s Uniface capability

Rather than lead with numbers we can’t yet verify, here’s what you can actually check.

Dedicated in-house team

The engineers who read your codebase stay on the engagement from Discovery through Deployment & Hypercare, not subcontracted specialists rotated in for one phase.

Enterprise-grade certifications

ISO 27001, ISO 9001, and CMMI Level 3 apply to every engagement TFT runs, Uniface redevelopments included, not just the wider portfolio.

Backed by a full delivery organisation

Uniface work draws on TFT’s broader engineering organisation, with delivery centres across the US, Germany, UAE, Mexico, Israel, and India, not a standalone boutique practice.

A documented, transparent process

Every phase from Discovery to Deployment & Hypercare has named deliverables, shown earlier on this page, so you know exactly what you’re getting before you commit.

Client references

References and case studies from completed Uniface engagements are available on request during the Discovery conversation. Contact TFT’s Uniface team to ask for one relevant to your industry.

What you gain

10 outcomes of choosing
TFT for Uniface redevelopment

From AI-accelerated analysis to phased delivery, every aspect of TFT’s service is built to reduce your risk and compress your timeline.

Modern platform

.NET is actively maintained by Microsoft with regular feature releases and published long-term support tracks. Your application runs on a platform with a clear roadmap, not one approaching vendor end-of-life.

Business impact

Common questions

Uniface migration & modernization: your questions answered

How long does a Uniface redevelopment take?

Timeline depends on your application’s size and complexity, so we don’t quote an overall duration upfront. What we do commit to is the Analysis & Planning phase, which typically takes about a week and gives you a precise, scoped timeline and cost for the rest of the engagement before you commit further. Because TFT delivers module by module, working software on your chosen stack is available earlier than a big-bang cutover would allow.

How is the engagement priced?

Every engagement is scoped individually. The Analysis & Planning phase is quoted upfront, so you have a clear, defined cost before deciding on anything further. Once that phase is complete, you receive a customized pricing proposal for Code Migration and Deployment based on your application’s actual scope. Contact us and we’ll put one together for your specific project.

What happens to existing Uniface business logic?

TFT’s in-house Uniface engineers read and document the existing business logic as the first step of every engagement. Business rules, workflows, and data logic are mapped explicitly before redevelopment begins. Each module is built against this map. The functional equivalence testing phase then verifies that the new application reproduces the behaviour of the original, including rules that were never formally documented.

Which technology stack does TFT recommend?

TFT does not have a default recommendation. Stack selection is based on analysis of your Uniface application, your team’s existing skills, your infrastructure environment, and your long-term roadmap. Back-end options are .NET, Java, or Python. Front-end options are React or Angular. The formal recommendation is a deliverable from the Analysis and Planning phase. The final decision is always yours.

How does TFT handle testing after redevelopment?

In the Testing phase, you validate each redeveloped module in your own environment, running it against the existing Uniface system to confirm functional equivalence. TFT resolves discrepancies and issues identified during testing. No module moves to the next development cycle without a sign-off. The Deployment & Hypercare phase then supports production deployment across all completed modules.

What support do we get after go-live?

Every deployment includes a Hypercare period (typically 3 to 6 months) during which TFT resolves any issues that surface in production at no additional cost. Beyond Hypercare, ongoing application maintenance and support plans are available, so you have a long-term partner for stability, performance, and continued evolution of the application, not just a one-time handover.

Can we start with something smaller than a full redevelopment?

Yes. For larger or higher-risk applications, TFT recommends starting with a Proof of Concept on a representative module. This validates the redevelopment approach and stack recommendation and lets you assess feasibility before committing to the full-scale engagement.
