What fallback do I have if Thunderstone ever goes out of business or discontinues supporting Texis?

Texis is a mature and stable product that has been on the market for 17 years. At most customer sites, Texis runs for many months without restarting. However, we recognize that many customers are wary of becoming overly reliant on any one software vendor. The ultimate fallback, should a customer ever need to discontinue using Texis, lies precisely in Thunderstone's adherence to standards. Texis data may easily be transferred into any competitive SQL database. Likewise, Texis scripts consist essentially of standard HTML with encapsulated SQL calls that could, with some effort but not an unreasonable amount, be converted to a competitive scripting environment. Of course, other databases at this time do not come close to Texis's performance in text-intensive applications. However, if that situation changes in the future, the migration path to an alternate solution would be straightforward.
