Migrate an entire application portfolio,
without an army of developers

When you’re retiring a legacy platform, consolidating after an acquisition, or modernizing at scale, GW Apps gives your team the speed and control to migrate dozens of apps — in days, not months

Three situations where enterprises choose GW Apps

Platform Retirement

Your organization is sunsetting a legacy platform like Lotus Notes, FileMaker, a custom-built system, or another tool that’s become costly to maintain. You have dozens of apps that need a new home.

Acquisition & Consolidation

You’ve acquired a business unit running on a different platform. You need to move their applications off that old platform onto something current, and GW Apps makes it fast.

Process Improvement

You need to accelerate change, but legacy development can’t keep pace. No-code lets you adapt quickly, iterate freely, and do it all at a far lower cost.

In all three cases, the challenge is the same: you have many applications to migrate or rebuild, limited developer bandwidth, and pressure to move quickly without sacrificing security or governance.

Built for volume, governed from day one

Most no-code platforms are built for individual teams building individual apps. GW Apps is different; it was designed from the ground up as an enterprise-grade platform, which means the things that matter most at scale are already built in.

One platform for any business process

GW Apps handles the full range of internal business applications, such as approvals, portals, case management, asset tracking, HR workflows, compliance forms, and more. Whatever your legacy platform was doing, GW Apps can replicate and improve it.

IT leads — Everyone can build

Your IT team owns the platform, security policies, access controls, data governance, and architecture decisions. In many organizations, IT also leads the building itself. In others, IT sets the framework and business teams build within it. GW Apps supports both models. Either way, IT is in control of what gets built, how it's governed, and who can do what.

Works with Google Workspace and Microsoft 365

GW Apps integrates with both Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, so whether your organization uses Gmail or Outlook, Google Drive or SharePoint, your teams can work the way they already do.

Audit trails and enterprise security — standard

Every action is logged. Role-based access control, record-level permissions, and full audit history are built into every app on the platform.

How a large-scale migration works with GW Apps

We’ve helped organizations migrate even 50+ applications in one go. The pattern that works:

Inventory all apps; categorize by complexity, business criticality, user volume.
GW Apps excels at structured workflow apps (approvals, requests, tracking, portals).
We help identify strong candidates and sequence the migration.

Start with a complex, high-value app, not a simple one.
Complex pilots stress-test the platform and build real confidence; simple pilots only prove it handles simple things.
If considering GW Apps professional services to lead migration, we’ll need 3 sample apps (complex, medium, simple) to scope work and produce a portfolio-wide effort estimate.

Once the pattern is set, migration speeds up significantly.
Business teams can own their apps with minimal IT involvement.
Apps that took months to build are now rebuilt in days.

Old platform is phased out as apps go live on GW Apps.
End state: single governed environment, consistent UX, a platform your team already knows.

The GW Apps platform has been a very valuable tool to convert our paperless processes online. It has allowed us to migrate various Lotus Notes applications. The platform allows us to develop applications without the need for developers — it has added a lot of value to our IT business processes.

Platforms organizations are moving away from, and why

GW Apps is particularly well-suited as a destination platform for:

Acquired-company applications on platforms you are discontinuing
SharePoint workflow solutions that are over-engineered for the use case
Aging web apps built on outdated frameworks with no clear owner
Custom-built intranet apps that are expensive to maintain
Lotus Notes / IBM Domino applications (approvals, portals, case management, directory apps)
FileMaker databases used for internal operations or client-facing workflows
Microsoft Access databases that have grown beyond their original scope

GW Apps is not a general-purpose development platform. It is purpose-built for structured internal business applications — forms, workflows, approvals, portals, and reporting. If that describes your legacy app portfolio, it is almost certainly a strong fit.

Let's talk about your application portfolio

If you’re facing a platform migration, whether planned or triggered by an acquisition, the most useful first step is a conversation with our solutions team. We’ll ask about your portfolio, your timeline, and your constraints, and give you an honest assessment of where GW Apps fits.
