Hi all apple sifu sifu,
I was thinking is it possible to re-engineer a current company software into an iPad app for more convenient presentation purposes.
This software that allows me to generate virtual quotations for my customers....if its possible to make an app into the ipad i was given it would really give much convenience. any freelance developers wanna help?

haha very unlikely to convert
maybe u can find an app developer here, show him/her/them the software and ask if they can create something similar or not, from scratch lah.

I would recommend that you invest to convert the company software to a web application. In that way, you can access it anywhere anytime from any device with browser ... Then you can optimize it for iPad.

as of converting directly, its impossible. but u can hire a free lancer, and present all the functionality of the software u want, it wouldn't take more than a month if the software isn't that complicated
