Competitive Analysis A few questions have been raised lately on Ragingbull concerning competitive solutions to Migratec's such as Mainsoft's Visual MainWin. FYI, Mainsoft which calls itself the e-porting company markets Visual Mainwin. mainsoft.com Does Mainsoft's cross-platform porting solution supplement Migratec's cross-platform migration suite? Allow me to provide some insights into Migratec's competitive landscape i) Mainsoft's Visual Mainwin allows developers to write their code in Visual Basic (C++) and deploy their applications simultaneously on Windows, UNIX and Linux. Mainsoft is licensed by Microsoft to use Microsoft's technology (Win32 API). Bristol is also entitled by Microsoft to provide a similar cross-platform solution (Wind/U), i.e. turn 32bit Windows code into 32 bit UNIX or Linux applications. bristol.com ii) Migratec's 64Express migrates 32bit code to 64bit (IA-64 architecture) and remains the sole software company that I know of to market such a solution to the software developer community. iii) Migratec's 32Direct suite of solutions migrate 32bit Solaris code to other UNIX (HP-UNIX and AIX), Windows NT and/or Linux platforms and provide the reverse migration path to Mainsoft's. iv) MKS (NuTCRACKER) markets a cross-platform development toolkit which allows Enterprise developers to migrate UNIX code to Windows. FYI, despite the clear overlap between MKS and Migratec, Unisys is a partner of both companies. mkssoftware.com migratec.com In summary, Migratec does not compete with Mainsoft nor Bristol but with MKS. Having said that, Migratec complements NUTcracker with 64Express. Over to You. The Fogg
