Migration Roadmap
Our goal over the next two years is to transition from WPF to browser-based applications and move from on-premises offerings to AWS-hosted services for our clients. The new UI may be React-based. The current third-party toolset provider is Telerik, and we will evaluate whether their web UI solutions are a better fit compared to adapting the corporate React framework, which is not yet fully mature.
