Motif is a rich, mature and stable toolkit that is available on wide range of commercial and open source operating systems. It continues to be widely used and is the GUI toolkit of choice for mission critical UNIX and Linux based application development.

That said, there valid reasons for migrating an existing Motif application to a new platform or toolkit where Motif is either not available or perhaps not the best choice. For example an application that once only ran on UNIX may now need to be made available on Windows. Perhaps maintaining the application in parallel across UNIX, Windows and Macintosh is a requirement making toolkits such as Qt appealing. Alternatively a Java conversion might be required to web-enable a legacy Motif application.

Whatever the reason for migrating your Motif application and regardless of the target platform or toolkit the good news is that IST has many years of experience and a range of in house tools that enable us to migrate applications for customers in a fraction of the cost and time it would normally take.

We work with you to identify the best target for your application, provide a detailed breakdown of the migration path and perform the migration for you using a highly automated conversion process quickly and cost effectively.
