- 3. Why low-code What is Qalcwise Use Cases Start Now! Partner Now! What is Qalcwise. Let’s take a look.
- 4. Todays business and especially the paradigm of Digital Transformation raise the bar for business applications development. Rapid, agile and DevOps methodologies were invented to meet the pace of business change. These methodologies however do not pare down the IT backlogs. The line of applications needs is increasingly long. Business users „requests for solution” have to wait. Nature does not allow vacuum. Smart business analysts are filling the ‚missing system’ gaps with clever Excel spreadsheet, Access databases and tons of macros. That’s because they are not programmers. And they don’t have tools that allow creating apps without coding, Let’s add the fact that, it’s business users who understand the processes and problems organizations are facing. Very often it’s business users who are the best suited to provide creative and innovative ideas to solve them. This is why low-code/no-code (LC/NC) market grows in an amazing pace surpassing other IT technologies. Qalcwise provides unique value for non-programmer application builders. Qalcwise was designed from scratch to satisfy those who know spreadsheet formulas and want to create professional advanced business applications.
- 5. Low-code platforms is a term first defined by independent analyst, Forrester Research, and covered in detail in two Forrester Wave™ reports. According to Forrester's definition: "Low-Code Platforms enable rapid delivery of business applications with a upfront investment minimum of hand- coding and minimal in setup, training, and deployment."
- 6. No-code platforms focus on non-technical business users also called „citizen developers”. Those who never write or directly work with code, but own the business knowledge of their respective domains. Business users are the closest to the business needs and problems business encounters. It is them whose creative ideas drive innovation in their organizations. Because of lack of programming skills however, they are forced to rely on IT or systems consultants. This is where Qalcwise comes to the rescue allowing easy and blazingly fast creation of advanced business applications. Qalcwise fulfils the promise of no-code. Qalcwise allows building advanced business with use of spreadsheet formulas in a modern technical platform.

For large scale applications Qalcwise offers professional REST API for integrations and SAML2 Single-Sign-On.
- 8. First, let’s see what Qalcwise is not… Many low-code / no-code platforms drag its own heritage and history, which make them skewed towards certain functionality, mode of use or target users. Qalcwise is not a Form Builder – these tools tend to be fairly easy at building simple forms to collect data but deliver limited functionality for larger and interconnected applications or solutions. Neither they provide flexible workflows or collaboration layers. They may however be used by business users. Qalcwise is not a Web Database – these tools are focused on data, tables and relations. They might be seen as a replacement to local MS Access based apps but again, the will not deliver flexible interactive workflows. They require at experience with database schemas, entities and their relationships as well as querying languages, therefore are not best suited for business users. Qalcwise is not a Rapid Application Development (RAD) platform – these are usually addressed to support programmers (low-code) in faster application delivery and by no means are not suited for use by business users. They are often large and expensive enterprise-wide platforms and require specialized knowledge. Qalcwise is not a traditional BPM – these BPM platforms evolved towards low-code, they however require product knowledge and advanced business process modeling techniques. BPM tools focus on process aspects rather then on application functionality (UI, calculations, analysis, data). Qalcwise has no heritage load. We designed and created Qalcwise from scratch with business users in mind and in heart. This is why we decided that Qalcwise shall speak language of business and this is spreadsheet formulas and calculations. Business is all about calculations.
- 9. It provides a unique and new way to design advanced business solutions. Yes, Qalcwise is ALL of the above… but completely different. New way. You will feel it and understand it during first 5 minutes of your first Qalcwise training!*
- 10. • Qalcwise offers incomparable formula oriented application designer • Natively responsive design. Applications you design are responsive by default. You don’t have to do anything. But if you want, there is a formula ISMOBILE(), which can help you to control the appearance of your app. • Because it’s business user oriented, Qalcwise allows building No Schema Applications. You can build applications without explicitly designing a database layer. Still, you can report this application data, analyse and use for dashboards. No need to know database theory. • Qalcwise workflow designer is formula driven. It’s easy to understand and does not require knowledge of any specific notation like BPMN. • Formula driven interactive UI. Qalcwise UI, although based on notion of spreadsheet offers extreme flexibility and dynamic interaction. Visibility of UI elements are ruled by formulas. Same applies to appearance itself (colors, borders, styles). This goes beyond any form builders or BPM’s offer. • Integrated Collaboration Environment. As the only platform Qalcwise offers a collaboration portal to manage both application generated and ‚human’ tasks. Qalcwise applications are blended into a collaboration portal. Each step of application workflow can create task for a specific user or group of users. • Qalcwise offers formula access to data rather then ‚by query’ and extends functionality of the lookup(), which we all know. This makes easy access to data for not DB savvy users. • Qalcwise introduces a set of new functions, not available in traditional spreadsheets. Qalcwise specific functions are user-aware, time zone-aware, workflow state aware, new extended LOOKUP() and there is even a function, which tells if your app is run on mobile device. • No deployment. This is important! No need to compile or deploy your applications. There are no special processes, which generate ‚code’ or any other technical instance or materialization of the applications. Just save and it’s working. This is unique innovation of Qalcwise. No desktop component or other installations. • Applications that you design on a desktop are Mobile per se! Qalcwise morphed mobile application development into general-purpose application design. • Qalcwise includes built-in intelligent search for your data and tasks. • And many more innovations under the hood…

- 13. ERP Qalcwise no-code applications are often used to streamline those processes, which do not fit in rigid frames and long implementations of large systems (ERP, CRM, etc). Implementing a business need in a large system takes too long, or is ‚problematic’ or even not possible at all, instead of employing highly skilled programmers for hundreds of mandays, these applications are easily created in Qalcwise. These ‚gap’ processes are very often forced to be addressed by excel and email. This is exactly where Qalcwise brings immediate relief. Qalcwise applications are equipped with workflow, security and remove the problem of everchanging files. Every of your excel-managed process that was meant to be implemented in ERP or CRM can be easily automated in Qalcwise.
