20 Reasons to Migrate Magic eDeveloper, uniPaaS and Magic xpa to .NET by Upgrading Rather than Converting

Magic xpa Application Platform provides the best pathway for upgrading your existing Magic, eDeveloper and uniPaaS applications. Despite the changes in product names, the Magic core development technology provides a straightforward upgrade path that delivers a much better route to application modernization than expensive, unreliable and ineffective third-party offers for the conversion and refactoring of applications into code. 

Despite the sales gimmicks offered such as “we’ll do it for free” and then you only have to pay us later, the 3^rd-party conversion process is fraught with risk, devoid of value and saddles your organization with an expensive and ineffective code base. 

By choosing an upgrade instead, you preserve the value of the Magic application platform and taken the burden of modernization off of your programmers. Make no mistake, the real goal of these 3^rd party conversion offers are to make you dependent on their programmers far into the future.
