I have many customers in Asia Pacific using Uniface and they have saved thousands of dollars over the years as they have migrated their applications up to the latest version without rewriting or spending large amounts of cash to migrate. There are not too many products out there that you can do this. Technology breaks are always a show stopper to keep an application on a supported platform unless you have developed your application in Uniface or something similar.
Luckily my customers are able to migrate their applications easily but have they invested this saved time and money to look at the new features that Uniface have added in each of the versions? I think not! The Uniface Lab looks at all the wish lists that are published and technology improvements to add to our Development and Deployment software. A lot of time and effort is made in the development and testing of these additional features and functionality yet the Developers seem to ignore a majority of the new stuff that is released. Why is this?
All too common today we are asked about things such as BPM / work flow and how to add such components to their applications. Uniface Flow was released many years ago and it is only now we see the uptake accelerating. Why is this so? I think there are a number of factors but you may know some others. Today we see a reliance on audit trails for making sure things are completed. Work flow tools are exceptional at this. Productivity is always a requirement that applications have to help pursue. Work flow tools are good at this.What are other reasons that developers are now looking at BPM/Work flow. I would like to hear from you on this.
