Transitioning to the Future: CodeShift VB

NEWWAVE SOLUTIONS JAPAN, headquartered in Bunkyo, Tokyo, is set to revolutionize the way businesses manage legacy systems with the launch of its new transition support solution "CodeShift VB." Starting June 2026, organizations grappling with outdated Visual Basic 6.0 (VB6) systems can access tailored consultations to ensure a seamless transition to VB.NET. This initiative comes in response to the urgent need for modernizing business operations while safeguarding existing code assets.

Understanding CodeShift VB

"CodeShift VB" is a cutting-edge solution developed by NEWWAVE SOLUTIONS that primarily focuses on assisting companies in transitioning from VB6 to VB.NET. This solution encompasses a comprehensive approach to the migration process, including the transformation of existing code, automated analysis of compile errors via AI, and rigorous validation by experienced engineers. Drawing upon substantial experience with over 200,000 lines of code successfully migrated, CodeShift VB aims to reduce refactoring effort by up to 80% and stabilize approximately 90% of compile errors, ensuring that the migration is both safe and reliable.

Addressing Legacy System Challenges

Legacy systems, particularly VB6, continue to underpin critical business operations for numerous companies in Japan. However, these systems face significant challenges, including obsolescence, complexity, and the notorious "black box" nature of their operations. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s "DX Report" has highlighted impending economic losses, potentially reaching up to 12 trillion yen annually by 2025, if these systemic issues go unaddressed.

The core challenges identified include:

• - Black Box Business Logic: Years of operational accumulation often leave business logic buried within source code, lacking sufficient documentation and clarity.
• - Rising Maintenance Costs: With fewer engineers proficient in VB6, there is an increased burden on costs every time faults occur or functional modifications are needed.
• - Limitations in Modern Environment Adaptation: As businesses seek to implement modern technologies like cloud integration, API connectivity, or AI applications, existing VB6 systems hinder these advancements.

These points underscore the urgency for a robust solution to modernize outdated systems.

The Unique Features of CodeShift VB

CodeShift VB stands out because of its uniquely structured code transformation process. Key features include:
1. Structured Code Transformation: By analyzing VB6 code, this solution helps structure and transition it to a VB.NET environment while preserving essential business logic.
2. AI-Assisted Compile Stabilization: AI plays a pivotal role in automatically analyzing and proposing solutions for compile errors. The modifications undergo validation by engineers, effectively cutting refactoring work by up to 80%.
3. Engineer-Led Quality Validation: Every transformation is thoroughly reviewed by skilled engineers. This approach minimizes impacts on business logic while enhancing the quality of migrated code.
4. Visibility and Governance: The entire transformation and correction records are centrally managed. This enhances project tracking and supports internal reporting and quality audits.

Expected Benefits from Adoption

By adopting CodeShift VB, companies can expect several advantages:

• - Optimized Maintenance Costs: Transitioning to VB.NET allows for clearer visualization of system structures, reducing the workload when responding to faults or implementing new features while optimizing long-term operational costs.
• - Mitigating Dependency Risks: By making business logic and change records visible, organizations can reduce reliance on individual staff members, facilitating smoother internal reviews and handovers.
• - Strengthened DX Initiatives and Business Expansion: Establishing a modernized infrastructure supports API integration, data utilization, and AI implementation, empowering businesses to accelerate new service development and operational improvements.
