Informix-specific complexity
Your CIO has directed a move to Azure, but Informix-specific features — dynamic locks, isolation modes, and SPL syntax — make you wonder if this migration will succeed without downtime or data loss.
4GL application conversion
You have legacy 4GL client interfaces that must be reworked. You are not sure how to handle the conversion without breaking critical business logic.
Forced migration timelines
End-of-support deadlines for IBM platforms create pressure. You need to move now, but fear a rushed cutover that leaves your business exposed.
