UI Modernization
Find a new look and target more platforms
Your GUI may be an old, familiar friend that has served you well. But retaining it for too long can lead to several significant problems.
- An outdated user experience in today’s smartphone world can frustrate users, reduce productivity, limit functionality, and harm sales prospects.
- Compatibility problems can make legacy GUIs difficult to integrate with modern systems.
- Modification of legacy GUIs can be difficult and costly, especially if specialist expertise is required.
- Older software is more likely to have unpatched security vulnerabilities, making it a potential target for bad actors.
These issues are all symptoms of a “technical debt” that accumulates over time, eventually reaching a tipping point when the code’s inbuilt resistance to change demands action.
KDAB can help you bring your project up to date with a modern look and enable it to target more platforms. We will support your development project from the evaluation and definition of updates through to the final implementation. We offer tailored recommendations to modernize your codebase and execute migrations swiftly, efficiently, and securely. We meticulously identify risks, propose practical incremental steps, and provide a thorough assessment to safely navigate your journey from technical debt to your desired destination.
GUI Code modernization
GUI codebase and drivers require regular updating to meet modern performance improvement requirements. We can help you tune resource use, optimize for large data sets, incorporate vector computing or multi-threading, and much more.
Legacy toolkit migration
Extend the value of your project investments in legacy GUI toolkits with ourproven expertise in making one-off migrations. KDAB performs migrations from MFC to Qt, Motif to Qt, older to current Qt versions, and earlier C++ to more recent versions. Learn more about KDAB code migration expertise.
More screens and platforms
Run your application on more screens and platforms, creating a cross-platform application that reuses parts of the code, e.g., desktop to Windows, Mac, or Linux desktop; desktop to mobile, Windows or Mac to iOS, or Android embedded to mobile.
