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, one challenge
Many applications to migrate, limited developer bandwidth, and pressure to move quickly without sacrificing security or governance.
Platform retirement
You're sunsetting a legacy platform like Lotus Notes, FileMaker, or a custom-built system that's become costly to maintain — with 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 its applications 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 at a far lower cost.
Built for volume, governed from day one
Most no-code platforms are built for individual teams building individual apps. GW Apps was designed from the ground up as an enterprise platform — so the things that matter most at scale are already built in.
One platform for any business process
Approvals, portals, case management, asset tracking, HR workflows, compliance forms, and more. Whatever your legacy platform did, GW Apps can replicate and improve it.
IT leads — everyone can build
IT owns security policies, access controls, data governance, and architecture. IT can lead the building, or set the framework for business teams to build within. Either way, IT stays in control.
Works with Google Workspace and Microsoft 365
Sign in with Google or Microsoft 365 single sign-on, and manage access and security through your existing Active Directory and O365 — whether your teams use Gmail or Outlook.
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
We've helped organizations migrate 50+ applications in one program. This is the sequence that works.
Inventory & prioritize
- Inventory all apps and categorize them by complexity, criticality, and user volume.
- Identify strong candidates — structured workflow apps such as approvals, requests, tracking, and portals.
- Agree on the migration sequence and priorities.
Pilot the hardest app
- Start with a complex, high-value application rather than the simplest one.
- A complex pilot stress-tests the platform and builds real confidence.
- For a services-led migration, three sample apps — complex, medium, and simple — help scope the full effort.
Accelerate across the portfolio
- Once the migration pattern is established, delivery speeds up significantly.
- Business teams can own their applications with minimal IT involvement.
- Applications that previously took months to build can be rebuilt in days.
Decommission & standardize
- Phase out the legacy platform as applications go live on GW Apps.
- Create one governed environment with a consistent user experience.
- Leave the organization with a platform its teams already know how to operate.
“GW Apps has been a very valuable tool to bring our paper-based processes online. It allowed us to migrate various Lotus Notes applications and develop them without the need for developers — it has added a lot of value to our IT business processes.”
Many legacy platforms, one destination
GW Apps is purpose-built as the destination for structured internal business applications — forms, workflows, approvals, portals, and reporting.
One governed, no-code platform for your whole portfolio of structured business applications.

Let's talk about your application portfolio
Whether your migration is planned or triggered by an acquisition, the most useful first step is a conversation. We'll ask about your portfolio, timeline, and constraints — and give you an honest assessment of where GW Apps fits.
