Major advantages of using Webswing

When discussing how to prolongate the support or usage of legacy desktop applications, there are basically 2 resulting suggestions:

• Migration of application to the native web technologies
• Make legacy applications accessible through web browser

Migration process

We are aware that the migration process can be very long and costly. Companies typically opt to re-develop their application from scratch. Therefore we came up with ingenious solution of using Webswing as a platform for continuous and step-by-step migration. You can find more on this topic in this article — Migration from Java Swing to the native web application.

Legacy application on web

There are plenty of solutions on the market that actually can make this happen. Usually they are based on RDP/VNC protocol which means that applications need a significant resources for running and users are left with classical remote desktop-like interface.

Webswing, on the other hand integrates the application seamlessly into the web environment. It also offers better integration options and wide range of customization possibilities.

Next big advantage of Webswing is that it can be deployed on premise and is completely cloud-provider independent. In many business areas and industries this is a crucial break point for deciding for Webswing. E.g. in industries like military, healthcare management, government or wherever requirements for security of the Intellectual Property or Companies’ / Customers’ data are set to very high level.
