FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why a desktop app instead of a web app?

When you need to drive hardware, access the file system, process large volumes locally or work offline. Otherwise a web app is often simpler to roll out, and we’ll tell you so.

Can you take over an existing desktop application?

Yes. We start with an audit of the code and how it works, then propose to stabilize it, extend it or replace it step by step.

How are updates distributed?

Through a secure automatic update mechanism, or a controlled rollout if your IT team prefers.
