With the Novulo Architect, application modeling becomes fast, fluid, and visual, allowing it to be done together with the input and feedback of the user. By creating the user interface first, user feedback is incorporated early, rapidly, and continuously to maximize productivity and satisfaction on the part of the business user.
Create formulas, shape conditions, and manage rules even easier than with Excel. The Expression Editor gives you the power to drag and drop logical, aggregate, date, and many more functions quickly and easily. In addition, automated type checking ensures that expressions are always valid.
Many programming experts were skeptical that Novulo could create a modeling application that successfully allowed for seamless Data Model Derivation. Now, however, our skeptics are our most staunch believers. With the Novulo Architect, the data model is derived from the application model. This feature significantly reduces the development time and makes application maintenance much more flexible.
Both in the development process and in runtime, Novulo integrates seamlessly with Microsoft products. Use Visual Studio for (optional) custom development and integrate with Microsoft applications such as Dynamics, Exchange, Biztalk server, etc. Integration with the Microsoft stack gives you power, versatility, and stability.
Design workflows with the ease of Microsoft Visio. The Drag-and-Drop Process Editor allows you to utilize actions, decisions, and much more at the click of a button. Changing application workflows has never been this easy and reliable.
Model Driven Development (MDD) normally prohibits combining custom code into the development process. This results in application development that is limited by the restrictions of your modeling environment. Novulo, however, uses the power of Model Driven Development together with the ability to integrate custom code, allowing maximum flexibility, highly customized application development, and the ability to regenerate models when necessary.
The Architect allows you to use any native SQL database for your application. As a result, database-dependent functionality is a thing of the past. You can even change databases without having to rebuild the application.
Every change made to your application model is logged and saved in a repository. Like a time machine, you can move back in time and track your changes, or even enable functionality that was erased in later versions.
Create profiles for users, setup rights settings for data (view, edit) and processes (add, delete, execute), and even create conditional rights settings. Rights settings are applied throughout the entire application, even when you access it through web services. Integration with Active Directory and LDAP is also possible.
Building applications with exotic, unsupported programming languages can lead to fatal incompatibilities. With the Novulo Architect, however, all applications are built in pure C#, allowing you to build using the most widely supported programming languages for Microsoft .NET business applications.
Create applications supporting multiple languages and regions.
All data in your application is fully searchable. Save user specific preferences such as filters, quick-search options, and settings.
