Our 100% promise: run legacy apps or your money back

Back To Resources
October 11, 2021 | 100-PROMISE | LEGACY-APPLICATIONS

Are your older apps keeping you awake at night? Do long-standing applications force you to keep older versions of Windows on your estate? Are you worried that these elements of your estate introduce security, compliance and reputational risks? Worrying about what to do when Extended Support Updates (ESU) come to an end? Why not put Cloudhouse to the test and see how we can help?

We’re so confident our software compatibility solution will work for you that we are offering a 100% promise to all new clients who purchase a license agreement with us: you will be able to run your older Windows app on the latest version of Windows or your money back. 

We have delivered solutions for hundreds of enterprises and suppliers across multiple sectors all around the world, from retail to motoring, education to utilities, healthcare to government. Our solutions dramatically lower the time and cost of migration from any Windows platform to any Windows platform – and without the need to refactor, recode or upgrade.

Wherever you need your older app to work, we have a solution that will work for you. On premise. On the desktop. In the cloud.  

Key benefits of the Cloudhouse approach:

  • A permanent fix: when you decouple apps from the underlying OS version, they are no longer at risk if the original provider ends ongoing support
  • Security and compliance: apps are protected from vulnerabilities in older OS and you can unlock the benefits of current OS versions
  • Reduced costs: big savings compared to refactoring, redeveloping or replacing – and, if you deploy on modern infrastructure, it will most likely run much faster
  • Flexibility: complex apps are supported, including those dependent on older components in old OS, such as previous versions of .Net or Java.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Commercials
How much does Cloudhouse cost? Down Arrow

Cloudhouse costs are split into two elements – the licensing required to deploy application compatibility packages, and the professional services needed to create the application compatibility packages.

Licensing is offered on a per user basis for desktop applications and a per server basis for server applications. There are discounts available based on volumes.

Professional Services costs are dependent on the nature and complexity of the application. We quote a cost for packaging once we have been able to see the application, or portfolio of applications.

Contact us here with your requirements and we will provide you with a quote.
