Accelerate Your Port to Qt 4
ICS offers many different options to help your organization port from a previous version of Qt to Qt 4. These solutions can be customized according to your organization's unique needs.
Qt 4 Readiness Assessment
ICS' Qt experts have helped a wide variety of organizations port their applications to Qt 4. This experience has created deep technical knowledge of the process which we offer to Trolltech customers in the form of a Qt 4 Upgrade Readiness Assessment.
The project starts with an expert Qt developer spending anywhere from two days to two weeks (depending on the size and number of Qt applications) reviewing and analyzing your source code. Based on this analysis, ICS will write up a detailed assessment of the difficulty of porting your application to Qt 4. Problem areas will be identified and a detailed implementation plan will be created for your developers.
Porting Team Staff Augmentation
Most development teams have more end user requests than they can ever reasonably address. The addition of a port to Qt 4 can put an added strain on these scarce resources and threaten the timely implementation of enhancements that are required by business needs or even government regulations.
ICS can help solve these resource bottlenecks with short term consulting services. Our experts can work side by side or remotely with your team to speed the delivery of native Qt 4 applications.
Fixed Price Porting
Some organizations prefer to pay a fixed price and let the experts do the port. In cooperation with Trolltech, ICS offers a Fixed Price Porting service that includes a Qt 4 Upgrade Readiness Assessment. Based on the assessment results, ICS prepares a fixed price porting proposal. We can make this type of commitment because we have a high degree of confidence in the tools and techniques we have developed during our extensive experience in porting applications to Qt 4.
Intensive Qt 4 Upgrade Training in 2 Days
There is wealth of formal information on the Trolltech web site and in new Qt 4 books which are being released. The problem lies in digesting all that knowledge and tailoring it to the specific needs of your application and development team. Getting the right information and arriving at the best development patterns for your specific problem can take days of research.
To simplify the process, ICS can deliver customized Qt 4 Upgrade Training to your team. One of ICS' certified Qt trainers will discuss with you the detailed training agenda and the two of you will agree on which of the possible topics would be most applicable for your organization. When the training is actually delivered, ICS' experts will be ready to expand on these topics further. Our goal is to turn your home team into Qt experts who in turn can take their knowledge back to your company and help others.
Expert Mentoring
Training is just a start. Many of our customers ask our instructors to stay onsite for another 2-3 days to mentor their developers through the initial stage of their port. This can lead to big dividends as the initial roadblocks to a port are often swept away as our experts work with your developers on a clear and achievable plan to complete the application port.
