Product Usability

QAD places considerable importance on developing products that are simple to learn and easy to use. The QAD .NET User Interface provides a common user interface for all QAD applications. It features best-practice usability and deployment features and many ways for users to adapt the UI to their specific role and preferred work style. Built using Microsoft .NET technology, it incorporates a consistent UI metaphor, reducing the need for users to learn how to navigate QAD applications.
