Why Qt for Embedded Devices

Leading companies know that selecting the right development framework, tools and underlying technology for creating embedded systems software can make or break the success of a project.

Creating high performance devices with user experiences that exceed customers’ expectations while at the same time saving cost and meeting your project deadline can be daunting. It doesn’t have to be.

How Qt can help you succeed

Qt has everything you need to design, develop, test, deploy and maintain your software throughout your product lifecycle. Create high performance embedded systems with 3D/2D user interfaces and deploy and test on your target hardware from day one.

Selecting the right framework for the job is an important commitment if you consider that the life span of software can be 20 years or more. We have been around for even longer and will be your reliable partner as long as you need us.

Reliability is just one aspect to keep in mind. We believe that Qt lets you create the best user experience your customers could wish for. But don't have to take our word for it.  Read this white paper written by an independent Qt expert user.
