Expand Your Application's Horizons

Once your core codebase compiles warning-free in the latest RAD Studio release, you are in a prime position to extract massive new value from your intellectual property.

The Modernising Track is aspirational. It answers the question: What can my code do now that it couldn't do before? You do not need to rewrite your application in a different language to achieve modern, cross-platform, enterprise-scale functionality.

For many teams on older RAD Studio versions, the most commercially relevant conversations now center on three themes:

  • adding AI-assisted development workflows and AI-powered application features
  • delivering modern web experiences without rewriting proven backend logic
  • preparing Windows applications for newer device classes, including Arm-based hardware
