The Novulo Architect is a development platform for business applications that helps bridge the gap between IT and business professionals, leading to faster application development, reduced costs, and easy changes to applications. Its innovative design renders the application development process in an easy-to-understand visual format that allows the programmer and business executive alike to work together for the duration of a project.
In today's volatile and fast-paced economic environment, business professionals are in constant need of application development that can be as agile and adaptive as the current market demands. Unfortunately, business users and IT professionals often have a difficult time communicating their ideas and understanding each other's objectives, leading to costly budget overages and late project completions. The unique and highly versatile programming environment of the Novulo Architect, however, helps to bridge the gap between business and IT, allowing both entities to work together in a highly productive, communicative manner. This ultimately equips businesses with the programming tools necessary to meet constantly evolving operational needs that invariably arise as a result of doing business in the 21st century.
Save Time and Improve Project Communication: A good deal of programming involves time spent writing repetitive code. The Novulo Architect uses models to automate these tasks, resulting in fewer errors and less time spent writing tedious code. In addition, the Architect's highly visual interface empowers programmers and business users to effectively collaborate in the modelling phase, allowing technical and non-technical professionals to see and understand the same project characteristics from the onset of the process. This results in enormous savings because costly miscommunication is avoided. As a result, application development projects make it to market in 40% less time than applications designed using traditional programming applications.
Painless Changes to Your Application: In the past, making changes to an application meant a great deal of time spent altering the code and making sure that no errors would arise as a result of the change. Because changing applications is now easy and error-free with the Architect, applications can be changed and edited without leading to errors and a lot of wasted time and productivity. This is achieved by allowing the model to be opened and changed, even when an application is in production. By being able to edit the model, the application is updated without the risk of spontaneous defects.
Bridge the gap Between Business and IT: For business professionals, the world of application development is often a confusing and convoluted one, filled with technical jargon and abstract concepts that make it quite difficult for the non-programmer to have any constructive input into the development of the project. The extremely visual, user-friendly environment of the Novulo Architect, however, allows business users to interact with the developer during the entire development process.
Eliminate Risk and Increase Long-Term Viability: Because no two software developers write code in exactly the same way and many software development platforms are proprietary in nature, businesses often become dependent on a particular programmer and the platform he or she uses to create applications. Creating applications with the Architect, however, allows other developers and programmers to easily edit and maintain the application, even if they themselves didn't work on developing it in the first place. The unique visual modelling environment allows programmers to further develop the application without running the risk of writing and editing code that can conflict with the work of a previous programmer. And, because the Novulo Architect functions atop the Microsoft .NET development stack and creates applications using the industry standard C# programming language, all C# applications are still usable and maintainable, even without the use of the Architect program, thus eliminating the risk of investing in a development platform that might someday be unsupported.
