Delphi to Visual Studio Conversion Project

Found this on the guru.com website. Any comments on the wisdom of a conversion like this? Cost vs. staying with Delphi? Is there really a scaling problem that VS can handle that Delphi can't?

Thanks.

Title: Convert from Delphi to Visual Studio
Project ID: 364595

Category: Programming / Software / Database Development
Description:
Convert a CRM, Service management software from Delphi client/server to Visual Studio .Net based 3-tier architecture. This will move all software for the product to a more scalable and flexible 3-tier architecture and on more modern Visual Studio based tools.
The project has these main objectives:
1) Convert from client/server architecture to 3-tier architecture to allow more scalability and flexibility. Will also allow separate GUI that is currently PC based to allow for web-based and mobile GUI access.
2) Convert Delphi Object Pascal code to Visual Studio based. This code be achieved with tool such as RemObjects Chrome or converting code to C#.
3) Provide a complete solution with all functionality of our existing product. Will delivery a complete solution on the they architecture and platform that has no major or critical defects due to the new architecture.

One possible approach is to convert to RemObjects Data Abstract product for 3-tier and Chrome for Object Pascal on Visual Studio. Other approaches will be considered such as another 3-tier architecture and convert code from object pascal to C#.

Details of the product to convert can be found at:
