The usual route is to upgrade to BV 8.x and migrate all of the existing implementation and content to a new portal. The obvious question, then, is why to use BVBridge? Here are a few reasons why BVBridge is the obvious answer.

• Reduced Time to Market: Re-implementing the JavaScript codebase in your existing applications translates to a significant investment in time and expense that is directly proportional to the complexity of the functionality. BVBridge allows you to upgrade your technology and reap the benefits of your investment sooner.
• Phased Migration: With BVBridge, you retain all of your core business logic implementation. Let the BVBridge take care of compatibility between BV 8.x and the older version. JavaScript code migration, if required, can be deployed in phases.
• Enables current development and other business practices to continue to use JavaScript.
•  The new JSR 223 standard and emerging Web Scripting frameworks advocate continued use of scripting.
