Exciting Changes at Infragistics - 13.2 Release!

Exciting Changes at Infragistics

Wow, we’ve been busy over here. In 13.2 we made lots of changes: we transformed our brands, updated our products and their features, redesigned our website, and updated our pricing structure – all for the better! At Infragistics, we’re proud to be the company that helps you deliver stunning applications easily and we want everything we do to reflect that.

New Branding and Products

One thing we think a lot about is simplicity. There is elegance in simplicity. When we looked at our products, we realized that most of our customers were faced with unnecessary complexity. We had more than 20 different products available and we knew that most customers were making the decision to purchase our top two products.  It was time for us to simplify.

So we turned Infragistics NetAdvantage for .NET version 13.1 into Infragistics Professional 13.2, and Infragistics NetAdvantage Ultimate version 13.1 into Infragistics Ultimate 13.2. We think you’ll agree that these less complicated names truly simplify things and make it much easier to find what you are looking for.

New Features

13.2 has a lot to offer. Most importantly, this new release of Infragistics Ultimate now includes our amazing design tool, Indigo Studio. It’s a complete solution for designing interactive prototypes that target mobile, desktop & web scenarios.  With Indigo Studio, designers and developers can focus on the user experience of the application before writing a single line of code. 

For desktop, web and mobile development, we’ve updated our entire line of controls to bring you the “ultimate” experience from start to finish. We’ve added support for the latest Microsoft Office and Windows 8 inspired user interface, along with support for touch-enabled rich-client desktop & responsive web apps that help you develop for the iPad, iPhone, Android devices and the Surface.

If you need to reach the broadest set of devices, our Ignite UI HTML5 / JQuery tools help you create a single application that will look native on any mobile device or desktop. And if you need no-compromise performance, only Infragistics has native Objective-C controls for building iOS apps with iOS 7 styles, native Java controls for Android apps and native Windows Phone controls. Finally, when you’re ready to test your applications, we’ve got you covered with automated UI testing tools for both Windows Forms & WPF.

New Website

In line with our promise to simplify, we’re doing everything we can to also streamline the experience of trying out our products. Many of our site’s less-visited pages have been shifted out to make it easier to find what you are looking for. But maybe the most exciting thing on our website is the introduction of our new Getting Started Videos on Infragistics’ YouTube channel. I encourage you to subscribe to this channel as we’ll be continually posting new videos – for all skill levels – to ensure you get the most out of your Infragistics controls. We think this will be very helpful to kick start your next project.

New Pricing

For the 13.2 release, we’ve modestly increased prices on new license purchases & renewals. But what about existing customers? Are we increasing renewal prices now? No. We have a little something called the Ultimate Gift and as you’ll see we want to make sure this transition is smooth. For example, if you’re a customer who used to have an ASP.NET subscription, congratulations - you just got a free upgrade to our Professional version!  This is our little way of saying thank you to our customers. For more information, check out the Ultimate Gift on our website.

Summary

As you can see, there’s a lot going on at Infragistics - and we’re just getting started! There is so much more we want to do to help you build stunning applications quickly. With new brands, new products, new features, new videos and more, we hope you are as excited as we are. We can’t wait to show you what’s IN development.
