More than ever before, a beautiful and intuitive user experience can determine the ultimate success of any business application. As Nathan Wilson of Gartner put it earlier this year, “a poorly designed UI/UX can quickly undermine the expected business benefits. And social networks can turn UI/UX shortcomings into very public failures.”

While the underlying business logic that powers your application must remain reliable and cost-effective, transforming the user experience will deliver powerful results. Whether you realize it or not, current customers may be looking elsewhere for a UI that aligns more closely with their digital needs, and prospective customers may be turned off before they even see the business value of your app.

Of course, you’re running a business—the thought of redesigning every screen or learning an entirely new development system probably makes you cringe. That’s why we took care to ensure that Kendo UI Builder by Progress integrates seamlessly with your OpenEdge apps, making it simple to enhance the UI/UX, and thus the competitiveness, of your business applications.

Build an Engaging and Future-Proof UI

Kendo UI Builder gives you world-class design capabilities, with industry-leading and standards-based responsive web technologies that help you personalize interactions with browsers and tablets. The design elements are all stored in the metadata, rather than the code itself, so that both now and in the future you can stay nimble and quickly make UI adjustments as technology evolves.

Development is designed to be easy, with 80% of the UI code generated automatically, plus component templates, getting you to market faster and leaving you more time to focus on what’s important. With a sample app library of over 70 HTML5 UIs, you can uniquely style your app for a wide variety of purposes

The Reliability You Expect with OpenEdge

We know you don’t have time to replace code or learn an entirely new framework, so we’ve designed Kendo UI Builder to integrate smoothly with existing apps with minimal effort. As you embark on the modernization of your UI, you can count on our legendary support and proven modernization planning to help you achieve your goals every step of the way.
