Modernize Your Legacy Applications with No-Code Low-Code Builder – ClaySys AppForms
The larger part of enterprises still depends on their stack of legacy applications for their daily operations. While legacy apps might be running with a clunky front end built on previous-generation tech, modernizing the in-house software by building from scratch feels like a long stretch for most companies.
ClaySys AppForms helps companies achieve the goal of having modern-day business applications and systems while also being a cost-friendly solution with an easy-to-use drag-and-drop builder interface. Compared to the traditional software design and building process, ClaySys AppForms stands apart with the ease of installation on a server environment and a metadata-driven architecture that ensures future compatibility for applications built with AppForms.
ClaySys AppForms
ClaySys AppForms, a no-code/low-code builder, offers a modern way to bring a new outlook to your legacy systems. With our Enterprise Edition, ClaySys AppForms helps businesses to modernize outdated web applications (as well as build new apps) without discarding the important databases they depend on, all while keeping costs low and ensuring faster deployments.
Why ClaySys AppForms for Enterprise Legacy App Modernization?
Since the rise of ClaySys AppForms in 2010, the no-code/low-code builder has become the go-to platform for building forms, attracting companies that want software development with greater agility and flexibility.
Simplicity of No-Code Development
What makes AppForms truly exceptional is its no-code/low-code approach, meaning your development projects don’t have to be lengthy. The intuitive interface lets business users, for example, an HR lead tracking the onboarding or a manager streamlining procurement—design forms and workflows with zero coding. Need a help desk ticketing system or a purchase approval app? Simply drag, drop, configure, and it’s done. Yet, the platform also has robust functionalities for developers to embed complex business logic and validation rules, guaranteeing enterprise-grade functionality.
Future-Proofing Your Software Investment
A general concern with app modernization is the potential obsolescence of the modernized version in the future. AppForms addresses this concern about a future overhaul with its metadata-driven architecture.
This ensures that the applications remain compatible with future updates. ClaySys AppForms always adheres to industry best practices and stays up-to-date and relevant.
Security and Integration
Legacy systems often have outdated security approaches, leaving wider gaps for threats like SQL Injection or Cross-Site Scripting. Enterprise application modernization should also involve implementing modern security practices. The AppForms Application Browser comes hardened against over 60 vulnerabilities, offering enterprise-grade protection out of the box. Plus, Enterprise AppForms can integrate seamlessly with diverse data sources like SQL tables, stored procedures, and web services, enabling your modernized apps to pull from or push to multiple systems.
These simpler integrations assist developers in modernizing apps without disrupting business continuity and app functionalities.
Real Business Benefits
Consider a company running a decade-old VB.Net app for employee records. Migration costs loom large, but with AppForms, the licensed user can install it on their Windows/SQL setup, reimagine the front end in a short span, and merge it with their existing databases.
And, they’ve got a sleek, new, much more secure web app that employees find interesting to use; no total overhaul from scratch is required.
Scalability
Multi-tenant support grows with your enterprise. Whether you are a small firm or large, AppForms allows multiple applications to run on a single server, each separately partitioned by unique tenant IDs at both the web and data layers. This means your HR team can operate their onboarding forms, while the IT department can streamline ticketing systems functionalities, and your operations team can automate their tasks, all within the same IT infrastructure, without performance drops.
