Building for the new world order

Appligenics will change the way that you view business applications. Far from being the expensive luxury trinkets of large corporations, complex business applications will now come within the reach of many more businesses. By radically simplifying the application development process, Appligenics is de-mystifying the technical alchemy previously required to build business systems.

Overall, the development process remains the same. Appligenics links into your existing analysis and design process, and streamlines them. The best of your existing methods and processes is retained.

An automatic output from the process is a Time & Cost Model, which very early in the project life cycle will give you an accurate guide to the duration, and therefore cost, of the project. Then through the design process, you define the rules, processes, and data of the proposed application, and a by-product of this process is the automatic production of the System and User Guides.

Finally, when the design is complete, the system is complete. The Business Analyst simply pushes the generate button and the system is built. Automatically. Whether stand-alone or as part of an integrated framework of applications, the programming work is automated, saving a massive amount of time and expense in the build phase.

The impact on business is dramatic. Your development teams can deliver far more than ever before, to a higher, more consistent standard.

• Six week delivery times instead of six months
• Project teams of eight or more reduced to one person
• Cost slashed by three quarters

Simple really. By using the Appligenics technology to completely automate the programming, you bring consistency and predictability to application development, de-risking a previously expensive process.

Design is Everything

The key to successful system building has always been good design, and in fact, this paradigm remains true. In the Appligenics world once the Design for the application is complete, the system is complete.

The Design is everything, whether it is for a major integrated system or an enhancement to an existing application. The beauty of Appligenics is that the users are involved at every stage of the design process, and so when the design is complete, you simply automatically generate the code, together with the database tables and the Application Server beans.

Of course, even the best design and the highest levels of user input cannot foresee changes to the business or the business processes. This means that the system will change. Appligenics keeps returning on your investment, because to make changes to an application you simply change the design and automatically re-generate the system. Again, no programming, and Appligenics checks the logic of changes.

In fact, to use Appligenics you need no technical computer knowledge, other than the analytical skills of a Business Analyst. Using Appligenics is like driving a car - you need a licence to drive but you do not need to be a mechanic!

What Do You Need?

The Appligenics suite consists of three modules:

• Designer
• Generator
• System Manager

plus several optional modules:

• Linguist (for translation of your design)
• eCommerce
• Back-office applications (complete working suites)
