Qt Porting and Migration Services

All organizations reach a critical juncture in their application development process where they decide to move their legacy applications away from out-dated technologies. As the expert in GUI and Qt application development, ICS will work with your team to review existing code and complete a comprehensive assessment to determine the impact of the migration project. ICS provides a cost/benefit analysis that highlights any trouble spots, estimates the actual time required to complete the migration, documents the potential long term savings, and completes the conversion.

Substantial experience in delivering Qt migration projects on-time and on-budget enables ICS to provide our clients with a more cost-effective solution than completely rewriting an application from square one. In addition, we focus on skills transference in order to build the in-house knowledge base required to sustain and expand upon the consulting deliverables.

Sample ICS Service Engagements

Flow Science is a leading supplier of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software and services. Its flagship product, FLOW-3D, is a powerful modeling tool that gives engineers valuable insight into many physical flow processes and is especially good at accurately predicting free surface flows. Flow Science engaged ICS to help them port their application from Qt 3 to Qt 4. In addition to the normal issues involved with porting an application to Qt 4, Flow Science wanted to continue simultaneous development on FLOW-3D while the port was underway. This required ICS to develop a porting plan that minimized the effort required to merge the source code changes being produced by the two engineering teams. The final plan limited the divergence to less than a month by trading off the cost of multiple smaller merge points vs. the risk of large, complicated merges. ( More References )
