Delphi Migration Pitfalls: What We Learned After Working with 125M+ Lines of Code

Modernizing a Delphi system can feel like walking into a maze with no map. No documentation, outdated components, business logic buried in event handlers written 20 years ago.

At Softacom, we have migrated and modernized projects with millions of lines of Delphi code, dealing with BDE, ANSI strings to FireDAC, Unicode, and 64-bit. Along the way, we have seen what really breaks modernization projects and how to avoid it.

In our new guide, we share:

  • The most common pitfalls that derail Delphi modernization
  • Practical ways to fix them
  • Real-world examples from enterprise projects

If you’re planning to move to a newer Delphi version or thinking about modernization, this guide can help you cut risk, time, and cost.
