(Original creator: bolarotibi)Guest contributor, Paul Herzlich from analyst firm Creative Intellect Consulting (In Pursuit of Sustainable Legacy Modernization (Part 1)) Although discussions of modernization often center on a world of technically dazzling possibilities, the reality for many organizations is much less exciting. Long before they consider their ambitions to be state-of-the-art, they have to confront the fact that their applications are probably lacking or are even incompatible with only moderately recent technologies that would allow them to participate in the interconnected world of composite applications, like object orientation, SOA, web services and XML. Forget about whether they can m

(Original creator: chillebrink) It is always great to hear feedback from our customers and from the sounds of it, the North American Uniface User Group (NAUUG) event held last week in Las Vegas was very well received! Next up: Netherlands, France and Japan. "Thank you for hosting us. The NAUUG was very informative and timely. The sessions devoted to 9.6 gave us a great idea of what is coming and we are excited to see that Compuware is adapting and innovating for the 'now' term. I especially enjoyed the opportunity to talk with and hear from other Uniface users and find out how other folks in the market are leveraging the tool. What can I say...the social aspect of the conference was amazing! You were great hosts and I plan to become a repeat attendee! I highly recommend the NAUUG to all developers and product managers working with Uniface." Jenny Bunch, CourtView Justice Solutions "First, thank you again for patient and repeated invitations

(Original creator: adriang) The primary theme for the NAUUG was modernization of apps, and it’s clear that within the Uniface community, there is a fair amount of interest in the topic. We had an interesting discussion over breakfast at the event, I think it was on Wednesday, and it was all round the topic of what is a ‘good user interface?’.  It was quite interesting to gauge various points of view, and what specifically influenced our VAR partners who resell their applications which are built in Uniface. Now I don’t have the answer to this, I don’t claim to be particularly creative, but it was fascinating to pick up some of the points of view.  For example, somebody shared a story about their product manager being completely hung up on a windows look and feel that is as close to a MS application as possible, and during one of their discussions, showed a screen shot from an iPAD app! (gotta love Product Managers!). Over the past

(Original creator: bolarotibi) Guest contributor, Paul Herzlich from analyst firm Creative Intellect Consulting The term ‘modernization’ is one of those buzzwords that gain a lot of currency at a particular moment. Clearly the idea is not new. We’ve always had to maintain and upgrade our systems to keep them ‘up-to-date’. In the 1980’s software conversion or migration was a popular solution. In the 1990’s, it was often termed ‘re-engineering’. What more do we mean by the term modernization? A few things stand out: The internet for global access was a revolution that has made it possible to reach customers, employees and business partners directly and at low cost. The resulting boon in self-se

(Original creator: adriang)I’ve spent a couple of days in Las Vegas at the NAUUG (North American Uniface User Group).  It’s an interesting event, as we run it over three days. The US is a big place, so if we have customers jetting in, we always make sure that there is a full agenda, both in the day and also in the night. Probably the most impressing starting point would be the excellent venue, the Vdara hotel, great for conferences, and they were very accommodating to our needs, which grew and grew as the attendance went up to over 60 attendees which was really good news. The agenda has been pretty busy, the usual business and product updates, which were well received, and Maarten van Leer also gave a couple of presentations, firstly on Uniface 10  which gave lots of positive feedback, good reinforcement that we’re

(Original creator: admin) The German Uniface User Group UBG (www.c-b-g.org) had its yearly conference on September 13 and 14 2012 in Neu-Ulm. The UBG yearly conference is always a very nice mix between of sharing Uniface user experiences, plans from the Uniface Team and cultural entertainment. At the kick off presentation Mr. Arnd Ohlenbusch (AHP) announced that the official name of the user group was UBG again. After the kick off Deniz Yugnuk and myself explained the Uniface plans for the coming year. With Uniface 9.6 planned to be released in December 2012 the German audience was happy to see a large number of What’s New items in the Windows GUI region of Uniface. The Uniface Roadmap presentation showed what was planned last year for Uniface 9.6 and explained what users will actually get this year, which is a lot more! Daniel Iseli also gave a life demo of the new Uniface 9.6 Windows GUI capabilities which opens up an enormous amount of new types of GUI element
