Increase Your Development Capabilities

With .NET you'll never be short of development resources.

Magic has a relatively small ecosystem of developers and technical resources, making it difficult to adjust development efforts as business requirements change.

Migrating to .NET will allow you to easily use any of the following:

  • Fully integrate .NET developers into your existing development team.
  • Get professional services from an abundance of .NET consultants, where Magic consultants are very hard to find.
  • Outsourcing and off-shoring services, which are always available for .NET development and hardly ever for Magic.

A Powerful Mainstream Technology

Magic is a proprietary, non-standard technology especially when compared to .NET. Magic users are completely dependent on Magic to introduce support and functionalities required for new technologies. Since when upgrading to .NET you get a pure .NET application including its source code, you are delegating the control back to the developer.

In .NET you are free to take full advantage of these technological benefits:

  • Advanced UI elements – It is relatively more complicated to introduce advanced UI elements (Grids, Charts, WPF etc.) into a Magic based application.
  • Improved performance and security – Many of our customers upgraded their Magic application when they realized they can easily achieve performance and security improvements in .NET.
  • Easier integration with external tools and applications.
  • Taking full advantage of version control software created for code-based programming languages and not for development tools such as Magic.
  • Object Oriented Design

 

 

Drive Down Costs

Magic uses a run-time licensing model which may lead to ever increasing licensing costs as the number of application users grow, with maintenance costs rising accordingly. In Addition, since Magic developers are scarce and constantly becoming more so, the cost of recruiting and employing Magic developers is higher than .NET developers.

 

Remove Sales Barriers

Magic technology can create an obstacle for businesses selling Magic based applications. Enterprises unfamiliar with Magic technology are reluctant to buy non-standard applications. Software houses amongst our customers have been able to increase revenues and broaden their target markets.
