Specialist software modernization

Legacy desktop, embedded, and business apps brought up to speed.

Polywick Studio is the Philippines-based team for Delphi, Qt, MFC, WinForms, .NET, embedded, POS, and database-heavy systems that generalist agencies avoid.

Positioning

Not generic outsourcing. Specialist engineering for software that already matters.

The current site says “launch your MVP quickly,” but Polywick’s stronger promise is rarer: senior engineers who can maintain, migrate, and extend old but valuable systems.

  • Delphi and database modernization Delphi 7/Athens, BDE, Paradox, Interbase, component upgrades
  • Native Windows modernization MFC, BCGSoft, CodeJock, WinForms, WPF, Avalonia
  • Cross-platform desktop and devices Qt 6, QML, C++, embedded Linux, serial and hardware workflows
  • Integrations and production tooling POS, JavaCard, FHIR, Office files, logging, profiling, CMake

Excellent Support

With little time zone difference, Filipino developers can provide same timezone support to Australia, New Zealand and Singapore.

Trust Signals

Built like a product team, not a pass-through agency.

Excellence Endures

Get well designed UI, code, devops with unit testing. Well designed means lower maintenance costs, bug-free user-operations. Things you'll notice. Make your MVP come true.

Unique and all yours

Every development project is crafted exclusively for you. The product is entirely yours.

1-on-1 communications

We maintain open communications with you throughout the entire project. Managed using Clickup.com or Monday.com.

Contact Us

A simple path from first message to delivery.

Busy? Need help? Fill the contact us form, give us the lowdown on your development project. We'll hit you back in a jiffy with our initial take on your project.

We'll ask questions to resolve ambiguities, and lay out a couple of cost-effective solutions for you to choose from. Each solution breaks down the nitty-gritty steps, batting off potential risks and time-frames, budget crunching numbers, and putting a dedicated tech team for you.

When you give us the nod, we'll rev up the engines for the development phase, including a thorough prep, the grand launch, some code TLC, rigorous testing, and the big reveal of the solution.

During the development phase, the tech team only works on your project full-time, unless you choose part-time or lesser hours or pay-for-deliverables.
