Modernization Assessment Questionnaire

The purpose of this questionnaire is to collect sufficient information about your Smalltalk application together with your goals for the target platform in order to provide you with a first-cut estimate based on Synchrony’s vast empirical data of migrating large-scale, mission-critical Smalltalk applications to your selected target platform.

Please, fill out this questionnaire as thoroughly as you can. Your information will be reviewed in the order it was received. Upon completion of the assessment report, we will be contacting you to arrange either a conference call or a face-to-face meeting to review and discuss our estimates and ways in which Synchrony can assist you in this endeavor.

If you have previously saved an Assessment Questionnaire, you may retrieve it here.
