Encanvas is a code-less application development platform that allows DevOps teams to quickly build and deploy enterprise applications. It provides a comprehensive suite of tools that streamlines the development process and reduces costs. Encanvas applications can be created without coding by dragging and dropping pre-built elements. This allows IT teams to engage stakeholders more and develop a wider range of applications faster.

1. APPLICATION DATA SHEET
DIGITAL TRANFORMATION
TRANSFORM THE VALUE OF
TECHNOLOGY TO YOUR CUSTOMERS
Digital Transformation – what happens when businesses realize the potential of
digital technology to bring value to their customers. It’s created a demand for
two‐speed IT… because coded legacy IT is plain slow. Agile DevOps teams need
fast, code‐less tools to implement digital transformation projects that lower skill
demands and produce sustainable results. Meet Encanvas DX ‐ the fastest way
for DevOps teams to build and deploy enterprise grade apps – bar none.
Modernize applications many ways using a
single suite of development software
What separates Encanvas from all other DevOps
products is its all encompassing nature, its
completeness and its commitment to 100% code‐
free publishing. With Encanvas, IT teams can engage
business stakeholders across‐the‐desk, not in back
rooms. Designed with DevOps teams in mind,
Encanvas is a modern web server architecture that
fully leverages Microsoft.NET.
Serve the long‐tail of applications demand
IT teams are faced with growing lists of demands
from information workers for applications that
combine disparate combinations of information
assets to create applications that respond to new
business situations. This growing list of
requirements for new applications is being
described as the ‘long‐tail’ of software applications
(i.e. A small number of individuals and small groups
of users who need to use large numbers of
applications as opposed to the majority of users
who only require a small number of applications).
Encanvas helps IT teams to serve the long‐tail of
business applications; making information workers
more productive and removing applications
development costs.
Powering lean process automation
Encanvas streamlines human‐centric processes to
boost workforce productivity and gives leaders the
insights they need to make more informed
decisions.
Integrated middle‐ware
Encanvas incorporates one of the most advanced
data integration layers ever created in an enterprise
computing applications development environment.
It employs a point‐and‐click suite of data
connectors, a drag‐and‐drop systemized
information flow designer, and a multi‐linking
capability that blends data from disparate sources
to create new data structures. Encanvas is a true
multi‐threading technology that can engage a series
of data sources at the same time.
Ready‐to‐use design elements
Encanvas includes a series of ready‐to‐use building
blocks that can be brought together in different
ways to produce new applications. These include
components for data capture, business intelligence,
reporting, search and discovery, content
management, instant messaging and more.
Unrivalled enterprise security
Encanvas enables IT administrators to manage
every aspect of master data management, portal
deployment, user identity and access management
and data governance no matter how many portals
and mobile applications are developed.

Unique Innovations
The whole code‐less LEGO® brick thing
Encanvas is designed on a model similar to LEGO®
bricks. Instead of asking designers to code and
work with technology components that are all
different, designers use ready‐made building blocks
that slot together to create the applications
businesses need without the human error or risks
introduced by manual coding applications.
Canvases
Canvases are a light‐weight data structures used in
the Encanvas platform to bring together the logic of
applications and their resources into a single file to
ensure coherency in master data management and
application lifecycle.
Version‐Rollback™ future‐proofing
Encanvas creates applications designed to change
over time. To make this possible we’ve invented
Version-Rollback™ technology: Canvases record a
description of the version levels of applications used
to create and deploy them. When canvases are
edited, the applications used to edit and publish
them ‘rollback’ to original versions so new features
are not initiated unless settings are overridden.
Scalable solutions
There’s no limit to the size and scale of applications
Encanvas can produce. View our case studies to find
out about large‐scale enterprise and industry
deployments.
Remote[Spaces]
Encanvas Remote[Spaces] technology means that
administrators and tech support teams can support
many remote private customer sites from their
desktop and easily replicate good practise.
Unparalleled usability
Encanvas is so easy to use that any business analyst
with some database engineering expertise can
design and deploy business applications. For IT
managers it means they can develop a larger pool of
applications designers requiring fewer skills.
Application Life‐cycle Management
Encanvas supports the complete application
lifecycle from design concept to completion. It
includes tools to streamline application
orchestration and deployments, the creation of help
text and site design.
Business intelligence and geo‐spatial maps
Encanvas incorporates sophisticated business
intelligence and geo‐spatial mapping features as
standard, so there’s no need to purchase additional
software for mapping or BI.
Created on Microsoft® .NET, deployed on
Microsoft® .NET web server architecture
Encanvas has been created using standard
Microsoft® technologies and produces business
applications designed to work best on Microsoft®
operating systems and technology platforms.
