Why Waste Your Time and Money?
(Some vendors are more than happy to waste both)
The Problem: Your customer wants an updated, graphical looking interface on your application. You have limited time, resources and money. Is a complete re-write to Microsoft Windows the answer? No need. SCO has partnered with April System Design and Alpha Micro to provide the solution. These two solutions will give you a GUI solution faster, cheaper, and more efficiently than you thought possible.
If you listen to Microsoft, you would need to learn new skills or hire new programmers, spend a lot of money and devote significant development time to have yourself a new GUI application.
You’ve come to appreciate and value the stability and reliability of SCO UNIX. Why risk your business on another platform? Rewriting it all in a Windows programming language is an enormous, expensive, and risky undertaking. You might lose important functionality in the process, and you are certain to experience problems with the new, unproven code. You may also lose the simplicity and easily understood power of your legacy operating system. In short, a rewrite into native Windows™ is not the answer.
The Solution: Rather than completely rewrite your UNIX application, you can spend minimal time, minimal cost and have either the entire application or only customer-facing screens have that GUI look and feel. Using a GUI tools vendor that specializes in converting UNIX text-based applications to a Window™ look and feel, your solution will be complete in less time and with less cost and effort.
SCO has teamed with two excellent GUI tools vendors to give you a quick, cost-effective and less stressful solution that your customers will appreciate. Check it out yourself. See before and after screen grabs. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is!
If Virtualization is a need – running native Windows applications on SCO UNIX – we have a solution for that as well, Merge Pro. Click here to find out more.
Put Your Money in Your Own Pocket
Extend the life of your legacy systems, protect your investments and give your users an option of the text-based or GUI look and feel or both at the same time!
If you’re looking to spend money and have time to burn, go ahead, re-write the entire application. But if you’re looking for a cost-effective and time saving alternative, check out TrueGUI and AniTa.
