Why upgrade to RAD Studio 13: Stop risking losing your key customers
Using legacy versions to make outdated software that can’t keep up with your growing customer expectations is the surest way to lose your customers to faster, more robust alternatives.
Every day your customers use apps that look and feel old and competitors get ahead, the risk of losing customers grows. Upgrading and migrating your software will help you retain your users and keep your key customers happy.
What’s more, Delphi’s exceptional backward and forward compatibility will help you migrate your apps to the new editions safely.
Why upgrade: New features
RAD Studio is very different from what it was just a few years ago. Versions 12 and and now 13 have introduced multiple milestone features that have completely transformed the developer experience.
For example, support for 4k screens, split editor views, faster 64-bit compilers, viewing VCL styles at design time, SKIA support and Webstencils for web design have changed the game for customers who have migrated to 12 and now 13.
