Hi,
For last two decade I am using V9 ADM2 for application development. Now due to immense pressure from competitive market, this is unconditional choice to move away from dull and boring Desktop GUI application and Redesign application in modern, clutter free and responsive interface.
Undoubtedly choice is Web front end which means our objective is defined. We need to move away from V9ADM2 (and few V8ChUI) to some kind of Webbased solution.
Initial investigations lead us to have latest OE11.x installed with WebSpeed + PSE or to be more modern KendoUI+PAS
But I am concerned for both options and would like to have expert answers from one who had faced similar situation as below -
"Our current software is functionally rich enterprise solution with several widgets, user event handlers, screen labels lingulisation, help buttons and many more. A single UI is too compilcated to be transformed in a webpage. I had a look at web pages created using Webspeed or KendoUI, both seems too clean and simple to accommodate all Business cases at once. To me it looks like a single ADM2 screen may explode into 10s of HTML pages unnecessarily. Same will be the case for efforts and time i.e. 10x more than what we used to invest on single ADM2 screen. More than this another concern is feasibility. Does the webbased solution fit for business solution OR it is only meant for Merchandising"
Assuming there is no choice of staying with V9ADM2!!, Please share your view on best tools, products and architecture to move our application from DESKTOP to BROWSER considering - Time, Efforts and Cost (initial and ongoing for development)
PS: I still love ADM2 because creation of simple functional CUSTOMER UI with toolbars, fill-ins, browser takes less than an hour. BUT sadly this is not modern.
