For businesses, plants & labs
Old code converted. Old systems modernized.
Core Memory Works converts legacy software to modern platforms and modernizes the industrial and lab systems that still run on decades-old computers. We own and operate the original hardware, so we can run your old system side by side with the new one and prove they match.

What we do
CONVERSION
Legacy code conversion
Software written for machines nobody makes anymore, carried over to a modern language and platform — with the original behavior documented and tested against the old system.
MODERNIZATION
Industrial system modernization
Keep the machine, replace the computer. We bridge old process control and instrumentation to modern hardware and interfaces, on your schedule and around your downtime.
SUPPORT
Legacy system support
Board-level repair, spares, and contract maintenance to keep a system running until its replacement is ready.
MIGRATION
Data recovery & format migration
Source code, databases and logs pulled off old tape, floppies and disk packs, and converted into formats your current systems can read.
ADVISORY
Assessment & consulting
Risk reviews of equipment you still depend on, modernization roadmaps, and valuations for insurance, estates and acquisitions.
ONSITE
Onsite work
When the system cannot leave the plant floor or the lab, we come to you, Chicagoland and beyond.
How an engagement runs
Describe it
Tell us what the system does, what it runs on, and what’s driving the change. A photo and a paragraph is usually enough to start.
Free assessment
We look at the code, the hardware and the process around it, and tell you what’s realistic — no charge, no obligation.
Written quote
Fixed scope, fixed price, agreed deliverables and cutover plan. NDA in place before work starts.
Convert, verify, hand over
We run old and new side by side until the results match, then deliver the system with documentation of what was done and what we recommend next.
Send us the hard one.
Tell us the system, what it needs to become, and your deadline. You’ll hear back from an engineer, not a queue.
