Encanvas AppFabric – Accelerating Digital Transformation Using No-Code Apps & Co-Innovation

“The application fabric is essentially the central nervous system of a modern digital enterprise,” explains Gartner analyst . It provides the platform and services that enable agile, secure, and composable applications to be built and delivered.”

Adrian Colyer

Analyst, Gartner

Every business needs custom apps

By eliminating rigid, monolithic architectures, our aPaaS allows businesses to break down information silos and foster agility. Microservices are quickly developed and deployed, adapting to the ever-changing needs of the business. This reduces time-to-market and enables rapid responses to new opportunities.

Rich data and useful apps are a necessity in today’s data-driven world. Our aPaaS empowers various teams with secure and controlled access to data, breaking down barriers between data consumers and creators. This enables wider collaboration and data-driven decision making across the organization.

With an application fabric, data becomes composable and reusable. This allows businesses to build new applications and features faster, without having to recreate data infrastructure every time.

About Encanvas AppFabric

Think of Encanvas AppFabric as an intelligent, automated applications development layer spanning your entire data ecosystem.

It seamlessly connects data across diverse sources, platforms, and formats, hiding the complexities of storage, movement, and processing.  

Encanvas AppFabric optionally includes PassPort™ advanced security, and Hyper-Drive plug-in technology.  With Hyper-Drive, business analysts can integrate new data sources, advanced AI, data visualizations, and third-party applications into their business app designs without higher-level permissions or coding skills.

Why Invest in an Application Fabric?

Digital businesses want to create as many applications as they need and change them as often as they like. Moreover, as they build out their applications, they want to ensure that data is managed and shared across applications, to avoid creating new data silos every time a new app is built.

Furthermore, to maintain operational integrity, its essential that applications can be retired without the removal of associated data causing other apps to fall over. This calls for a data management approach that safeguards shared data assets used by multiple apps.  An application fabric combines the dexterity to grow and scale the number of custom apps created, without losing control over data or producing data silos.
