Eagan, MN - Wizmo, Inc., a hybrid-cloud and software modernization company, introduced Microsoft Visual Basic support and modernization for VB6 with Access/Jet back ends. This new service offering is designed for enterprise level organizations who need current applications to stay available while they improve speed, security, and usability. 

Wizmo’s phased plan protects everyday work, supports remote teams, and charts a thoughtful route to future updates - without forcing a costly rebuild.

Grow Past the Limits of Microsoft Visual Basic

Many teams still run critical work on VB6 with Access/Jet - an event-driven programming language introduced in the 1990s - to build Windows desktop apps, forms, and COM components. Today, VB6 apps are legacy, meaning they work, but modernization is usually needed for performance, security, and integrations.

As these systems age, they can slow down, become harder to connect with newer tools, and fall short of today’s security needs. At the same time, they hold years of organizational know-how that can’t be replaced overnight. That’s why modernization should be careful and step-by-step - keeping the business running while improving speed, strengthening protections, and setting up future upgrades.

Wizmo’s VB6/Access Game Plan

Wizmo upgrades what matters while keeping users productive: 

• Host safely: Run VB6/Access in a managed private cloud (or the client’s environment) for stable, secure remote access.
• Move data with care: Migrate Jet to SQL Server using pilots, reconciliation, and planned cutovers to ensure integrity.
• Refactor selectively: Shift targeted components to .NET or web only where value is clear and measurable.
• Open integrations: Add REST/ODBC to connect dashboards, web/mobile apps, and partner systems.
• Raise the bar on security: Implement encryption, MFA, RBAC, logging, backups, and regular DR tests.
• Stay ahead of issues: Monitor capacity and performance to prevent slowdowns before users feel them.

Reliable Support for VB6 + Access/Jet Teams

School districts, nonprofits, manufacturers, and municipalities trust Wizmo to keep VB6/Access applications available while improvements roll out in measured phases. The company protects the forms and reports people rely on, while maintaining momentum for the business and giving IT a modernization plan that fits real-world constraints. Wizmo establishes governance for changes, aligns security controls to policy, and shares progress in plain language.

With 24/7 coverage, predictable maintenance windows, and performance baselines that can be tracked, client teams gain confidence to evolve without risking existing functionality.

Keep VB6 Productive and Elevate It with Intent

Every engagement starts with a readiness assessment, environment diagramming, and performance baselines from Wizmo’s expert support team. From there, they co-author a roadmap that sequences SQL migration, hosting, integrations, and security hardening around fiscal close, peak seasons, and staffing realities. 

Each organization receives named engineers, runbooks, and knowledge-transfer sessions to ensure teams remain in control after cutover. Organizations interested in learning more can schedule a roadmap session with Wizmo’s team to align hosting, SQL targets, and controls. Those referring a peer with similar challenges can earn a 10% finder’s fee through the Wizmo Referral program upon a completed engagement.
