Watch how Novulo takes a new approach to software delivery through application composition. Combining the best of SaaS and low-code. Moving from fragmentation to full integration. Compose better business software and enable continuous transformation. Enter the era of affordable business software that truly supports your business.

Software delivery revisited

Make your business more resilient and orchestrate your IT with a platform that keeps up with your needs. Novulo is the first application composition platform that combines the reuse of low-code models, development tooling and integration capabilities in one platform.

Best-of-breed models

Compose tailored business software free of risk. Our store with more than 2,500 reusable components based on best practices provides functionality in every business domain to deliver high-quality applications quickly.

Low-code development

Cover the last mile with our low-code development tooling. Use development resources wisely by only developing what’s not available in-store. Capture your differentiation in your business software.

Integration capabilities

Automatically integrate user interface, business processes and data by weaving reusable and newly-developed components into a fully-integrated business application. Integrates easily in your current landscape.

By 2023, organizations that have adopted an intelligent composable approach will outpace competition by 80% in the speed of new feature implementation.

Your journey to a composite application

Define

Start small on your route to becoming a composable enterprise. You can quickly innovate without disrupting your current operations. Defining an urgent business need is a good place to take off with your composite application. When requirements are clear the right components can be selected in our store. Intelligent search options assist in your selection and recommend suitable and popular components. It’s also possible to select components to integrate with third-party applications.

Compose

After adding your selected components to the cart you can validate your composition. An AI-assisted algorithm checks if your selection can create a functional application. It will suggest the missing required components for your cart. Of course it also offers you the option to select alternatives, to achieve the best tailored result. Deployment can start when your cart reflects your requirements.

Deploy

This is where the patented technology of application composition is applied. In a matter of minutes your selection will be automatically woven into a totally-integrated application model. This means integrated UI, business processes and data model. Because all components are mapped on a reference architecture they know how to integrate automatically. They merge without the need for APIs. Your company-specific application model is now transformed in a Microsoft.NET solution including the required database, deployed and pre-configured.

Use & optimize

Your composite application is now available for use and can be personalized and configured like a line-of-business application. So access control, workflow configuration and master data can be managed. If the functionality is not meeting the demand, you can go back to composition, replace or add new components and deploy a new version of the application.

Develop

When a subset of the required functionality is not available in-store, you can develop what’s missing. Our low-code development tooling enables you to model new components. Each component is mapped on the reference architecture to facilitate the application composition process. If a certain widget, function or action is not available in the modeling environment, a new plug-in can be programmed. This enables the modelling environment to be extended without messing-up models with custom code.

Quality control

New plugins, components and datasets are validated by Novulo’s quality control before they become available in-store. You are the IP owner and can choose whether you want your components to be proprietary or available to the entire ecosystem. When you choose the latter you will be rewarded for sharing through a payment system that monitors the use of your component. This quality control process ensures that all components in-store are up to par and are related properly to the reference architecture.

Update

One of the unique aspects is that components keep their reference, so they can be updated over time if improvements are made. Components are maintained centrally by their owner and have their own development roadmap. All users of these components can benefit from this maintenance and the improvements that are made. This differentiates fundamentally from templating in traditional low-code platforms. At all times it also possible to go back to composition to add or remove functionality.

Application composition platform features

Delivered by & for the business

The combination of reusable components with low-code development advances delivery speed substantially. The composition tooling assists business users to deploy applications very fast. Scarce development resources are only necessary to model what’s missing.

Our layered development approach enables citizen developers to deploy high-quality applications. Start with application composition by business users, model what’s missing by citizen developers, and develop by pro developers if modeling bricks are missing.

Every end-user is unique and can tailor their configuration to their preferences. Personalize by selecting frequently-used shortcuts. Organize your layouts, create your own views or copy preferences from another user to optimize your experience.

A single version of truth at the base of all business decisions. That’s one advantage of full integration of GUI, expressions, processes and data. You can also automate any work process, improve workflows continuously and reduce workload by automating tasks.

Discover potential and strive for improvement. Our process-mining capabilities explore businesses from a totally new perspective. Take maximum advantage from integral data by applying advanced machine-learning algorithms to improve operational efficiency.

Governed by IT

The enforcement of reference architecture by design allows citizen developers to develop and deploy governed solutions, dramatically improving maintainability and future-proofing the application landscape.

Have full control of the access rights of every user. Define reusable roles and apply them quickly. Allocate read or write access to any record or field at a role or record level. Easy user management, either local or centralized with single sign-on.

Components have built-in test processes to facilitate automatic testing. In composite applications these tests are integrated, enabling integral regression testing. Tests can be configured with your own test scenarios. This facilitates rapid change without heavily-manual testing efforts.

Novulo is cloud-based, accessible through a web browser from anywhere and works on any device. Novulo can take care of hosting your composite application or it can be hosted on-premises.

Reduce development efforts and change management time by deploying your composite application to the cloud with just a single click.
