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.

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:
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.
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.
