DataFlex Support & Modernization

Keep DataFlex running. Modernize on your terms.

DataFlex

DataFlex still runs critical workflows, but older deployments hit limits fast, clunky remote access, ISAM slowdowns, hard integrations, and rising security expectations. Finding credible help is tough.
 

Wizmo delivers DataFlex support and modernization without derailing operations: stabilize what you have, then phase in hosting (managed private-cloud or your environment), REST/ODBC access, ISAM→SQL, UI/UX refresh, and security upgrades, with minimal downtime.

Challenges of Using DataFlex

While DataFlex has supported key operations for decades, older deployments struggle to keep pace:

No Native Cloud Capability

DataFlex apps often run on-prem, limiting remote access and elasticity.

How Wizmo Helps: Host in a managed private-cloud or your environment for secure remote access and right-sized capacity.

Flat-File Limitations (ISAM)

Performance degrades as datasets and users grow.

How Wizmo Helps: Migrate ISAM to SQL targets via staged pilots, reconciliation, and planned cutovers to boost speed and scale.

Difficult Integrations

Limited modern REST/ODBC support makes connecting to today’s tools hard.

How Wizmo Helps: Add REST APIs and ODBC connectors/middleware to integrate with BI, web/mobile apps, and other systems.

Manual Maintenance

Frequent manual updates and backups increase risk and burn IT time.

How Wizmo Helps: Automate patching, backups, monitoring, and job scheduling; test disaster recovery regularly.

Security Gaps

Older stacks lack encryption, MFA, RBAC, and audit trails.

How Wizmo Helps: Implement encryption in transit/at rest, MFA, role-based access, logging, and retention to align with HIPAA/GDPR needs.

Outdated User Interfaces

Text-heavy screens slow users and add training time.

How Wizmo Helps: Redesign to web-based, intuitive UIs that preserve workflows and improve productivity.

Vendor Lock-In

Missing encryption-at-rest, audit trails, and granular access controls increase exposure.

How Wizmo Helps: Dependence on original developers or proprietary tooling limits options.

How Wizmo Helps Overcome These Challenges

Wizmo specializes in transforming legacy DataFlex systems into modern, scalable, and secure solutions, without derailing day-to-day work.

What Sets Wizmo Apart

Supporting Legacy Systems When Others Won’t

Most providers won’t touch legacy platforms like DataFlex; we’ve supported them for years. We understand ISAM quirks, batch windows, and the integration workarounds. Your system isn’t broken; it needs a partner who gets it.

 

Wizmo brings:

  • Specialized DataFlex expertise: real experience with ISAM→SQL, REST/ODBC enablement, and UI/UX refreshes.

  • Minimal-downtime migration: phased pilots, parallel runs, and planned cutovers to keep the business online.

  • Scalable, future-ready solutions: managed private-cloud or your environment, SQL targets, API-first patterns.

  • Business continuity first: monitoring, backups/DR, and clear SLAs so operations stay reliable.

Getting Help with DataFlex: FAQs

Yes. We support on-prem, hybrid, or managed private-cloud deployments. We’ll assess what you have, stabilize it (monitoring, backups/DR, access hardening), and, if it makes sense, plan a phased move to hosted infrastructure for secure remote access and right-sized scale.

We use a phased, low-risk approach with clear runbooks:

  • Pilot in a non-prod environment
  • Parallel runs with data reconciliation
  • Maintenance windows and change freezes for cutovers
  • Rollback plan documented and tested
  • Monitoring & comms: live health checks and status updates throughout
  • Result: critical operations keep running while DataFlex modernization progresses.

It depends on scope, dataset size, integrations, security/compliance needs, and whether UI/UX changes are included. After a short assessment, we provide a dated plan with milestones (stabilize → pilot → parallel run → cutover → post-go-live). We optimize for minimal downtime and predictable steps.

Yes, data protection is built in:

  • Encryption in transit/at rest, least-privilege access, audited activity
  • Versioned/immutable backups and point-in-time restore options
  • Test migrations with checksums and record-level reconciliation
  • Segregated environments (dev/test/prod) and secured connectivity

These controls keep your DataFlex data intact and help align with HIPAA/GDPR requirements.
