Build Better Applications Faster
LANSA understands how hard it is to keep pace with today’s demands for new applications and how it’s even harder to keep those applications relevant as business and technology continuously change. Instead of hiring more staff, upgrade your team with better development tools.
- RESPOND TO DEMAND: Build apps faster than ever before with Visual LANSA. Improve developer productivity so they can satisfy the demand for custom apps.
- DO MORE WITH LESS: Allow every developer to work on any part of an application. Increase output without adding head count or hiring expensive developers and eliminate specialized teams.
- DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION: Transform your manual and paper-based processes into web, mobile, cloud, and desktop applications for better efficiency, productivity, and data accuracy.
- GO MOBILE: Quickly mobile-enable the parts of your business that need remote access to business-critical information. Enable IT to reduce costs and improve the bottom line.
- DEPLOY ANYWHERE: The flexibility to deploy to an IBM i or Windows server, or, take your apps to the cloud anytime for better agility and elasticity. Improve availability while cutting operational costs.
Eliminate Teams of Specialized Skills
The Visual LANSA low-code platforms enable every developer to work on any part of an application. Using LANSA’s high-level language, the same skills can be used to write client-side code, server-side code, and everything in between. Eliminate splintered development teams and unify your existing team.
- REDUCE COMPLEXITY: LANSA’s high-level language shields developers from having to support and become experts in many different languages and technologies.
- UPGRADE YOUR TEAM: The only way to increase IT output—besides hiring more staff—is to provide your current staff with better development tools.
- BREAK DOWN SILOS: Hiring and training developers with specialized programming skills promotes siloed development. Train all your developers on the same skill set.
- SKILLS MANAGEMENT: Stop struggling to find resources for each project. Equip and enable all your developers to universally work on every part of a project.
- STOP HUNTING FULL-STACK DEVELOPERS: LANSA turns your current team of developers into highly productive full-stack experts with minimal training.
Fast Development. Even Faster Maintenance.
LANSA’s Business Rules Engine and Data Services Layer promote a different approach not only to application development but to maintenance too. Considering 80% of an application’s total cost of ownership is ongoing maintenance, Visual LANSA provides tremendous ROI when updates are required.
- DEFINE system-wide business rules and data constraints throughout all LANSA-developed applications, regardless of what platform they are deployed on, to maximize reuse.
- ENFORCE rules and constraints throughout all LANSA-developed applications, regardless of what platform they are deployed on.
- ELIMINATE platform or database lock-in. LANSA’s rules engine works on multiple server platforms and databases.
- IMPROVE data integrity because every application will adhere to the same set of business rules and validation checks before allowing the database transaction to take place.
- REDUCE the time required to make system-wide changes by updating business rules, data visualizations, and much more in a single metadata repository.
Integrate with Just About Everything
Today’s enterprise needs to be more agile, better connected and integrated with in-house, legacy, on-premise or cloud-based applications. Few organizations begin application development with a clean slate; most have to integrate with existing databases, legacy code, and other applications.
This is another area where LANSA shines. Our long, multidecade experience with real-world customer applications around the globe spans a plethora of computing platforms, databases, data formats, communication protocols, security standards, and much more. You can easily extend data from any database on any platform to web, mobile, and desktop applications, as well as use web services and APIs to allow data to flow through your existing back-office systems and business processes.
Since real business applications must integrate with a wide array of other systems inside and outside your enterprise, you can rely on the strength of LANSA’s integration capabilities, which stand well above other alternatives.
Write Once and Run Anywhere
Changing server platforms or databases can be extremely disruptive. In fact, it can be downright hard. With LANSA’s multiple deployment and migration capabilities, you are immune to platform, database, or interface lock-in, and you have full control over where and how you want your applications to run.
- SERVER PLATFORMS: Deploy your applications on single or multitier Windows, Linux, and IBM i (System i, iSeries, AS/400) servers.
- CLOUD OR ON-PREM: You can deploy on-premises or in the cloud (Azure, AWS, private).
- DATABASES: Visual LANSA works with Microsoft SQL Server, IBM Db2, Oracle, MySQL, and more.
- INTERFACES: Choose between web/mobile browsers (ChromeⓇ, FirefoxⓇ, SafariⓇ, IE 11+), native or hybrid mobile apps (iOS, Android, Windows), and Windows desktop client.
- CHANGE YOUR MIND: If you have a change of heart, Visual LANSA allows you to swap databases or server platforms without much change to your applications.
Benefits of Visual LANSA
Visual LANSA’s low-code development platform enables companies to digitally transform their business and increase IT efficiency while reducing risk and technical debt—enabling development to finish on time and respond to demands for more applications.
Reducing Application Development Complexity
LANSA’s low-code development platform instantly transforms everyone into a full-stack developer, meaning every developer on your team can work on any part of an application. Visual LANSA contains a full-stack language, WYSIWYG designer, and one-click deployment for all form-factors.
Improving Data Integrity
Traditional software development intermixes business rule logic with application and UX code. Visual LANSA’s integrated Business Rules Engine acts as both the custodian and the enforcer of business rule and kicks into action when an application attempts to change business data.
Getting It Right the First Time
Imagine if you could generate consistent looking, high quality enterprise applications with minimal coding. You can with Visual LANSA’s application framework—live prototyping, prebuilt navigation, auto-generated search filters and detail panels, user-access security, and a lot more.
Integrating with Anything
The success of any low-code platform relies on its ability to integrate with everything, whether the objects are in the cloud, on-premises, or on a local device, server, or workstation. With Visual LANSA, directly integrate your existing data and assets, both new and old alike.
Future-Proofing Applications & Developers
Think about all the different deployment options that have come and gone over the last decade. Visual LANSA insulates your applications and developers from underlying technologies, permitting IT to swap platforms and databases or migrate to/from the cloud with little disruption.
Going Beyond Model-Based Development
Model-based low-code platforms work well for building systems of engagement applications. With Visual LANSA, you can build both systems of engagement and systems of record applications, which means you can standardize on one low-code platform for all your development needs.
