Questions we hear before a project starts.
Where does the team work?
Our engineers work from Bulgaria, an EU member state, one hour ahead of Berlin. As an EU company, Necto works under GDPR.
How do you upgrade IBM webMethods 10.x?
We upgrade IBM webMethods 10.x estates to 11.1 or 12.1. We start with an inventory of packages, adapters, Trading Networks assets and Broker use. Then we plan the path, test it on a copy of your environment and cut over with you. Standard support for 10.15 ends on 31 October 2027.
Can you migrate us from Camunda 7 to Camunda 8?
Yes, we plan and carry out Camunda 7 to 8 migrations. We start with an inventory of models, delegate code, expressions and running instances. JavaDelegates become job workers, and JUEL expressions become FEEL. Staying on Camunda 7 Enterprise until April 2030 is also an option. We choose the cutover approach with you.
Which Java and Spring Boot versions do you move to?
We move services to Spring Boot 4 on Java 21 or 25 LTS. We plan the move to Spring Framework 7 and Jakarta EE 11 and, for Spring Boot 2 services, the change from javax to Jakarta EE, the dependency updates and the tests. Spring Boot 3.5 left open-source support on 30 June 2026.
Do you work with ServiceNow?
Yes, we implement ITSM on ServiceNow and connect it to IBM webMethods, Camunda and your other systems.
Can we work with you in German?
Yes, workshops and documentation can be in English or German.
