What is WorkXpress

WorkXpress is the world's only 5GL (fifth generation software language) PaaS (Platform as a Service). It is a one-stop-shop for everything necessary to build and deploy custom software solutions.

Using WorkXpress, professional developers and non-programmers alike regularly build sophisticated business applications while saving almost 90% development time and cost. They achieve these amazing results by leveraging an intuitively visual, drag and drop, point-and-click, secure, web-based environment.

WorkXpress eliminates the traditional concepts of coding, data modeling and database querying, while automating common systems administration tasks such as maintenance or disaster recovery. These time and cost savings are all possible without purchase of additional hardware or software.

Additionally, WorkXpress offers mobile capabilities and full integrations with 3rd party applications and the latest web-based technologies. Some examples include SMS, Email, FedEx, DocuSign, Google Maps, currency conversions, IVR, Google language translation, FTP services, and many more.

Why WorkXpress (benefits)

At the heart of everything we do is WorkXpress's fundamental value proposition;

  • Highest Quality - Dollar for dollar, WorkXpress custom applications are the highest quality available, period.
  • Rapid Development - cut times by as much as 90%
  • Flexibility - employ iterative development processes and remain flexible to change requests
  • Minimal Staff Training Required - No need to compete for expensive Java developers; WorkXpress makes existing developers 10x more productive, but also allows you to hire anyone with a solid logical mind and even limited technical expertise

Bottom line: More and better software, faster and at a lower cost.

Background

WorkXpress = New Ideas

The Old Way of Delivering Software

Traditional software has been fraught with issues; from failing altogether, to under delivering, to costing far more than projected. In fact, the Standish Group reports that approximately:

  • 1 in 3 traditional software projects fail
  • 1 in 3 traditional software projects are over budget or under deliver on goals
  • Only 1 in 3 traditional software projects are successful

The traditional software approach fails so commonly because growing businesses need to be flexible to modify and adapt their processes as new ideas emerge.

For many companies, their software has become an enemy of success. And because it is so ingrained in their culture, they sometimes don’t even realize how they are being held back by software limitations. Employees and developers spend inordinate amounts of time performing activities that are only necessary because it is what the software tool requires.

New Cloud Computing Methods Bring Success

The new software method, cloud computing, is growing rapidly. It is proving time and again that it is the most efficient way to deliver software and related services. The cloud’s growth is a direct result of its inherent cost-of-use savings, coupled with the emergence of rapid development tools that result in tremendous new savings and flexibility.

These factors have opened the door for organizations to automate processes and integrate their various silos of software creating a huge competitive business advantage. WorkXpress uses the latest proven cloud technologies to ensure fast, powerful and highly adaptable functionality focused 100% on your unique business operations. Our customers enjoy the world’s leading 5GL cloud computing platform advantage as detailed in the herein.

Cutting Edge Technologies

Technology is constantly changing. Today, everyone understands that all new focus is on web based technologies. Most vendors are producing applications that interact via the web. Most integration’s are now occurring using web services.

In fact, even the traditional “big name” vendors are trying to figure out how to retroactively connect their older products into the web.

WorkXpress puts a strategic focus on embracing new technologies on behalf of our clients and adapting those technologies into our client’s applications. A choice for WorkXpress is a choice to have access to all of the leading edge technologies, not just today, but in the future as well. Examples include:
