Salem Automation helps organizations maintain mission-critical systems, and legacy platforms — while building the skills and infrastructure to migrate on your own schedule.
OpenVMS OS support, C, C++, and VB6–your systems stay us while we map what you have.
Python, C#, SQL, Java — when you’re ready, a clean cutover on your timeline.
We meet you at your current state, not where we’d like you to be. Every engagement starts with listening.
Our OpenVMS infrastructure was built to last — and it has. We provide expert support for OpenVMS, DEC VAX, and Alpha systems, ensuring continuity for 24/7 operations while you plan the next step.
When in-house knowledge retires, ours steps in. We document institutional knowledge, identify risks, and keep the lights on.

Modernization fails, if only the vendor knows the new system. We build programs to transfer deep platform knowledge to your internal engineers and operators — so you own what you run.
Training is structured around your environment, your processes, and the team members who need to grow into these roles.

When the time is right, we execute migrations from legacy platforms to modern environments — minimizing risk through phased approaches, parallel runs, and thorough validation.
Including Oracle RDB to SQL Server migrations with full setup, data integrity verification, and go-live support.

Phased Migration
Many systems were engineered for decades of reliable service — and many are still delivering. But the ecosystem around them has eroded: vendor support contracts have ended, hardware spares are scarce, and engineers who know these platforms are retiring. The question isn’t whether to modernize. It’s when, and how.
Salem Automation has spent 30 years in this space. We’ve seen what happens when organizations wait too long — and we’ve helped many navigate the transition successfully.
