UI Migrations


S7 Software helps companies extend the value of their legacy applications by converting the UI to a newer multi-platform technology. Our engineers have worked on various projects involving Motif (including Open Motif and Open Look Widget Set) and have expertise in X11, Xt and Motif widgets (both internal and usage). We have extensive working knowledge of Qt and are a Trolltech partner.

Some of the projects we have delivered are -

POS Migrations


S7 Software helps retailers migrate from existing, proprietary point-of-sale (POS) platforms to open, industry-standard POS systems.

Some of the challenges faced by retailers running proprietary POS platforms are

» Cost of maintaining applications on proprietary platforms is quite expensive.
» Difficult and expensive to find new programmers in the job market who can modify the proprietary software.
» Time consuming for developers to make modifications to the existing software.
» Hardware to maintain proprietary systems are very expensive.
» Need to purchase the hardware from the proprietary vendor who also supplied the software.

S7 Software helps retailers migrate to open systems and control costs. Some of the advantages we offer through our POS migration services are - reduced maintenance cost, resources are available and productive, retailers can purchase hardware from a variety of vendors and aren't locked into the same vendor they purchased the software from and retailers are also able to improve employee efficiency with improved user interfaces and ultimately reduced training costs.

We understand ripping the existing POS system and replacing it with a new one, all-in-one go, would not be a viable option to many retailers. Hence, S7 Software assesses their needs and develops custom migration plan that helps them to replace old terminals with new one as necessary and both terminals co-exist on the same network, infrastructure replacement and POS feature enhancements.
