ROCKFORD, IL – Ticomix, a leader in AI-accelerated legacy application modernization and custom software development services, has acquired I/O Technologies, Inc., a Milwaukee-based firm specializing in Visual FoxPro environments.
The acquisition strategically expands Ticomix’s service portfolio, allowing the firm to meet organizations wherever they are in their digital journey. By integrating I/O Technologies’ specialized expertise, Ticomix now offers a more comprehensive suite of options for companies that rely on FoxPro, providing dependable support while they plan their eventual transition.
Bridging Stability and Innovation
For over 25 years, Ticomix has been a trusted partner for legacy application modernization. The addition of the I/O Technologies team enhances this mission, providing a robust support bridge for organizations not yet ready to modernize. This ensures that business-critical logic remains functional and secure as clients define their future technology roadmaps.
“Historically, our focus has been helping organizations transition away from legacy systems when the time is right,” stated David Knoup, President, Ticomix. “With the addition of I/O Technologies, we now offer the specialized support required to maintain those systems reliably in the interim. This provides our clients with unprecedented flexibility and operational continuity.”
A Natural Alignment of Expertise and Values
The merger unites two teams with deep experience in legacy technology stacks. This shared technical foundation ensures a seamless transition for existing customers and preserves the institutional knowledge necessary to manage complex, mission-critical environments.
“Ticomix was the ideal successor for our clients and our team,” said David Martin, Founder, I/O Technologies. “We share a fundamental philosophy regarding customer stewardship and technical excellence. I am confident that our clients will benefit significantly from the expanded resources and support Ticomix provides.”
What This Means for Clients
Clients of both firms will see immediate benefits from the unified team:
- Uninterrupted support: Continued, high-level maintenance for FoxPro environments to ensure ongoing stability.
- Expanded delivery capacity: Greater resources to execute large-scale or high-complexity legacy projects.
- Strategic flexibility: A stable operational environment that allows for modernization on a timeline dictated by business needs, rather than technical necessity.
Current I/O Technologies clients will continue to work with their established points of contact while gaining access to Ticomix’s broader suite of services, including AI-assisted FoxPro conversion for organizations ready to accelerate their transition.
