About Thinkwise
Thinkwise is a model-driven low-code development platform purpose-built for creating and modernizing large, complex business applications such as ERP, WMS, and other core enterprise systems. Its AI-Upcycler technology can automatically convert legacy applications (RPG, COBOL, Oracle Forms, Uniface, etc.) into modern web and mobile apps, while the underlying technology stack stays continuously up to date so the application never becomes legacy itself.
