Why Change Your OS? OS becomes unsupported or obsolete New chip architecture has different OS availability Customer demands for different OS Need to adhere to industry standards Change in your technical requirements Change in your commercial business model Need to use a better development environment Need to move to a widely used OS and target platform that offers a wide range of driver, protocol and middleware support
5
The Problem With Changing Your OS Its not easy to make existing software adapt to a new OS without incurring high cost and time to market It's an error prone, tedious and time-consuming task It requires expensive and skillful resources that take away the focus on building your product
6
Why Re-Use Your Legacy Application? Leverage existing software and knowledge base when migrating to next generation platforms Achieve your time to market goals Don't throw away your software investment
7
Available Options for Changing Your OS In-house solutions require time, money and take away focus from developing your application OS vendor's solutions are restricted and tied to a specific OS Consulting solutions are very expensive and take time –It exposes your IP to an outside company Open-source solutions are limited, unsupported and risky
8
Use OS Changer to Re-Use Your Legacy Application Keep Your Code – Change Your OS
