This matches up pretty well with what I was told at a User Event back in January, but with the welcome addition of Uniface 9.7 to the roadmap.

The main themes for Uniface 10 are...

• Advanced development environment (a brand new IDE, written in Uniface itself!)
• Agile development methodology
• Mobile deployment (dedicated team for mobile development)
• Cloud deployment (this will come later, not in 10.01 or 10.02)

We'll have to wait until Uniface 10.02 for a migration path from earlier versions though, which should be sometime next year.

Summary: Life after Compuware is still looking good for Uniface.
