Case Study: Euclid Technology achieves first-to-market Windows Vista support and outsized development productivity with Embarcadero Technologies' Delphi

Euclid Technology - Customer Case Study

Euclid Technology’s ClearVantage is an integrated CRM, ERP, eCommerce and web content management solution used by over 100 trade associations and non-profits. Faced with the need to enable an existing, large Delphi codebase for Windows Vista, provide reliable SOA access, and compete against vendors with development teams many times larger, Euclid needed a fast, stable modernization path that preserved its business logic and multi‑channel UI.

By porting more than 480,000 lines of Delphi code to modern Delphi tools and exposing functionality through a Service Oriented Architecture (ISAPI-wrapped web services), Euclid delivered smart-client, web and mobile interfaces that run on both Vista and XP. The move made ClearVantage the first in its industry to support Vista, preserved compatibility across platforms, enabled robust SOA/web-service integration, and helped a five‑engineer team compete successfully against much larger rivals—yielding strong customer wins and ongoing multi-channel support.
