Codeless for end users

Codeless custom made applications provide

  • investments with the highest possible return because they maximize the application lifecycle of existing applications.
  • all the advantages of a custom made application, as well as the dependability of standard applications.

What is Codeless?

Think of Codeless as comparable to MS Excel and the various individual worksheets you develop: Codeless technology is much like an Excel application, with each worksheet as your own application. It is easy to develop an Excel worksheet and open it in different versions of MS Excel, maintaining the same functionality in your worksheet over all versions of the application. Moreover, you can use the new features of MS Excel on the same worksheet. Thus, if you developed a worksheet in MS Excel 97, you can open it in MS Excel 2003 and directly export the entire worksheet to the Web. You don’t have to do anything else to take advantage of these features - except for installing the new version of MS Excel.

Similarly, just as you need to develop a worksheet only once in MS Excel, so, too, you develop an application only once in Codeless. This means you will only need to explain your business logic to a software company once. After the application has been developed, you can reuse the application indefinitely. Even if you decide to change platforms, you merely install a new version of codeless for the relevant platform, and you can continue working instantly. It's exactly the same principle as installing a new version of MS Excel. Nor will you need to make any new investments when you change platforms, as it is all part of the license fee.

Codeless applications will always be customized to your business logic, and you can improve your competitive advantage by using your custom made software. You will always have a head start on your competitors because Codeless also enables rapid modification without expensive new development costs or programming delays.

Benefits of Codeless

The rapidly expanding number of developers using Codeless also ensures that the applications develop increasingly more new features for administrative applications. These new features will enable you to work more efficiently.

Some of the new features about to be released include: standard modifiable screens by users, word merge, and mail merge. Because all the features of Codeless are implemented generically, all new features will be available for all the programs ever developed. The feature list is cumulative: you will get increasingly more features without having to make additional investments. All updates are part of the license fee.

With all these features, you will no longer need to invest in new technologies. Besides, because all features are readily available, you won't have to pay for them. Thus, while there is less to program, and less need to invest in new software applications, you get more in return for what you have invested in Codeless.

Over the long term

Over the long term your codeless application will incorporate increasingly more features because Codeless as a platform will continue to grow and develop. Every feature we develop will be available in your application, enabling you to work more efficiently, more effectively, and with more options.

So: when Codeless incorporates a feature that enables an end user to modify the screen of an order entry program in many ways, as soon as the new version is installed, the user will be able to modify the order entry screen. But this customization extends to more than just the order entry screen: it will include every screen of every program the user has access to in his application. And other Codeless customers will be able to do the same for their applications. All that is necessary is to download a new version of Codeless, install it, and run the application. All WITHOUT any additional investment.

Turnover vs. Costs

A Codeless application will cost $350 (or 300 euro) per year for each concurrent user (customized development is not included). This is the only investment you will ever need to make for your generic software.

In return you get

  • Lower initial software cost because many features are already available free of charge.
  • Low maintenance fee because your applications can be rapidly and easily modified.
  • Flexible applications
  • An indefinite product lifecycle because of platform-independent programming.
  • Continuous flow of new features and productivity enhancing features.
  • New feature availability for every program ever developed, enabling your employees to work more effectively.
  • Higher quality, because Codeless offers the best features of custom made applications and standard applications.
  • Highly scalable: your software can grow with your company.
  • Ability to maintain your own software

You should choose Codeless if

  • You want better software at lower cost.
  • You want custom made applications and a competitive advantage by adapting to the changing market quicker than your competitors, without the need for additional investments.
  • You want to keep your competitive advantage by using the best features of custom made and standard software.
  • You want to convert your MS Access environment to a more mature software environment - yet you want to be able to maintain your own software.
