Building Applications 75% Faster with SCAD Software
Introduction
The world of software development has witnessed tremendous advancements over the past few decades. While customer requirements continue to evolve, traditional coding methods have remained largely unchanged. However, SCAD Software has embarked on a groundbreaking mission to transform software development. By leveraging innovative methodologies and cutting-edge technologies, SCAD Software has successfully reduced application size, simplified the building process and paved the way for maintaining and enhancing applications at a lower cost. In this article, we explore how SCAD Software is building software applications 75% faster than traditional coding, revolutionizing the industry.
Challenges and Industry Initiatives:
As the demands of customers grow, the need for accelerated software development becomes paramount. Various initiatives, such as low-code technologies, artificial intelligence, and new development tools, have aimed to expedite the process. While these solutions may yield short-term gains, they often result in a significant amount of backend source code. The ultimate goal is to build software faster while ensuring ease of maintenance and future enhancements, thus reducing the overall cost of ownership.
The SCAD Software Approach:
Over the past two decades, SCAD Software has dedicated its efforts to finding a faster and more efficient approach to software development, free from the complexities associated with traditional coding. The outcome is a groundbreaking methodology that streamlines the application-building process and facilitates easier maintenance. This methodology has been successfully tested and implemented in a wide range of organizations, from major blue-chip companies to startups. SCAD Software’s customers have benefited from the accelerated development of ERP systems, loan management software, customer engagement software, and even integration with process control systems like SCADA and PLC.
Traditional Approaches vs. SCAD Software:
While conventional approaches have sought to enhance software development speed through agile methodologies, automation, code reuse, continuous integration, cloud infrastructure, and stakeholder collaboration, SCAD Software goes a step further. The company’s unique approach to building functionality offers a revolutionary solution. Here’s a glimpse into SCAD Software’s approach:
Utilizing Metadata: SCAD Software leverages metadata, which provides information about the structure and content of data, to enhance the application-building process. By defining specific characteristics and permissions for fields/columns, SCAD Software simplifies data management and access control.
Comprehensive Building Block Library: SCAD Software boasts a comprehensive library of pre-existing building blocks that align with common business processes. These data schemas act as the foundation for accelerated development, eliminating the need to build components from scratch.
Interoperability via REST API: SCAD Software enables seamless interoperability with both new and legacy systems through its built-in REST API. Each screen automatically generates an endpoint, eliminating the need for additional development work. These endpoints can be accessed from anywhere using any programming language.
Real Examples:
Let’s examine a few real-life examples that highlight the remarkable efficiency of SCAD Software’s approach compared to traditional programming:
ERP Solution: A regional IT Services company commissions SCAD Software to create a customised version of a market leading ERP solution that would be tailored to their requirements.
Traditional Programming Time: 24 months+
SCAD Software Development Time: 8 months
A Loan Origination and Management Application: A major bank asked us to migrate an existing loan management application onto newer technology that could be deployed across a merged banking group. The application was delivered in 3 months and deployed across 1000 branches. It has been running for over 13 years as a mission-critical application handling billions of dollars of loans from multiple business units.
Traditional Programming Time: 3-4 Year +
SCAD Software Development Time: 3 months
Conclusion:
SCAD Software has emerged as a game-changer in the software development landscape. By prioritizing speed, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness, SCAD Software’s methodology offers an unparalleled solution. With at least 40% less code and an average development time that’s 75% faster than traditional coding, SCAD Software empowers organizations
