The question: could AI compress timeline without compromising quality? The answer is Futurize PB.

For several years, we have used a methodology called PB Open to modernize PowerBuilder applications.

Preserve the business logic. Replace the presentation layer. Run in parallel. Migrate module by module.

It works. The risk is managed. But the time is still significant.

The question we kept asking: could AI compress that timeline without compromising the rigor?

The answer is Futurize PB.

In a single statement: PB Open + AI = Futurize PB.

A set of tools designed to cut development time across every phase of a PowerBuilder modernization:

→ Explaining PB windows, pitfalls, and complex constructs — the archaeology problem, automated → Defining consistent styles for backend and frontend → Creating APIs based on defined architecture styles → Converting business logic → Converting PB windows and their contents to the defined frontend, connected to the defined API

Supported frontends: React, Vue.js, Angular, and others. Recommended backend: C# with .NET DataStore — to reduce PB logic conversion risk and time.

Futurize PB is not a product you buy. It is a methodology assisted by tools — used by our team to deliver faster, at no additional charge beyond LLM costs.

The methodology doesn’t change. The timeline does.
