Got iPad? - May 17

May 10th, 2011 by Carla Benassi

Servoy, the next-generation development platform, offers a series of frameworks which enable iPad app development in record time — giving you the opportunity to offer a complementary product in addition to your current version. For a limited period, Servoy will iPad-enable your current applications or develop an entirely new program, all on a fixed price and fixed timeline.

Servoy’s web-client technology allows you to seamlessly deploy applications to iPad or any other tablet (Android, etc.) using the built-in browser of tablet devices. This means that you don’t have to publish your application to an app store but can deploy it instantly. And, if you need to deploy your application through an app store, Servoy offers you that option as well.

With Servoy’s Navigation Framework you can:

* Create iPad applications with only a few hours per screen
* Deploy to not just iPad but to any tablet device
* Deploy both on-Premises, hosted and Cloud applications
* Connect to any popular SQL database including: SQL Server, Oracle, DB/2, Postgresql, Progress, MySQL and many others
* Deploy to iPad without modifying your existing applications or table structures

FoxPro to Servoy Success Story: Webinar with Jeroen de Vries, CEO of Softwear - April 21

April 14th, 2011 by Carla Benassi

Join this interactive discussion and find out why Softwear, along with many other former Visual FoxPro ISVs and software companies, decided to migrate to Servoy.

Softwear is a Dutch ISV in the fashion retail and wholesale automation industry. They had a scalability problem with their previous SaaS solution, so they replaced their traditional terminal server technology with Servoy web and smart-client technology. By re-designing their applications, they reduced their total carbon footprint by 90%. Servoy has enabled them to redesign their software and development platform to minimize power consumption both from an economic, as well as an environmental point of view.
Jeroen de Vries, Softwear CEO, and Servoy, will answer all your questions.

Register for this webinar.
