How to get started?

The CrossmarX Application Platform is a rich environment for developing, running and maintaining a large variety of business applications.

Our main targets are maximizing:

  • development efficiency
  • speed of delivery
  • ease of maintainance

We accomplish this by developing a generic application engine. The engine contains functions for:

  • search, read, insert, update and delete data from a database
  • fine-grained user access rights
  • inbound and outbound email functions and statistics
  • content management for intranets and websites
  • forms and questionnaires
  • queries and reports
  • charts
  • dashboards
  • scheduled batch jobs
  • single sign on
  • Google Maps integration (plus support for webservices.nl)
  • social media integration (Facebook, Twitter)
  • chat
  • imports and exports
  • deduplication functions
  • data cleaning
  • support for Cendris webservices (address validation and completion)
  • support for payment services (iDEAL, PayPal)

The engine contains all functionality that is commonly used in business applications, but does not contain domain-specific knowledge.

To create an application you just have to configure the available functions or add your own functions. The total configuration is called a blueprint. The following steps are followed.

  • Configure
    You can start developing right away by configuring the blueprint for your application. This can mostly be done by mouse clicks, without programming.
  • Test
    Almost instantly the application can be tested by its future users. Feedback can be implemented by modifying the blueprint.
  • Run
    The first version of the application can be used immediately.
  • Evaluate
    User experiences can be collected and evaluated, and as soon as demands change, the configuration can be modified.
At any time you can modify your blueprint. In this way your software is perfectly customized, but without the costs and time of traditional software development.

Benefits

In an average application 80% of the functionality is created without writing code. This results in very fast development and high flexibility. The benefits of this approach are:

  • faster development: operating the mouse is less time consuming then writing code.
  • jump start: create a first prototype in minutes.
  • easier maintenance: understanding a blueprint is much easier than understanding script files.
