HyperAutomation is revolutionizing businesses, powered by new integration ware that makes it easier to glue AI, RPO, IOT and other tech advancements into incumbent business processes. HyperDrive is an example of the bleeding edge of this new enterprise tech. But how does it work and why is it so different to APIs and other data connectors?
Does your business have the ‘Amazonian’ capability to process every customer request directly from its web-shop or eCommerce site? If the answer is no, you wouldn’t be alone. A study by McKinsey of a leading high-street bank a decade ago found that almost 60% of processes still used hard-copy forms or required some level of human intervention. The fact is, the majority of business processes in most companies aren’t automated still today.
The role of a codeless iPaaS is to build a bridge between the data silos that span the enterprise to form up a single-version of the truth when it comes to the critical data landscapes executives need to see.
The quality of data that new app designers want to consume into their workflows remains the biggest single reason why projects derail. Try harvesting data from two or more apps and the challenges soon mount up.
For one thing, many systems still lack a codeless iPaaS to expose their data. Another challenge comes from the fact that businesses don’t always use software the way authors intended, and this can lead to data tables with many omissions. Incomplete data makes matching and organizing data hard to get right.
Even when you can (1) access data, and (2) find it to be of a reasonable quality, there remains the constant challenges of managing sessions (to prevent them from timing out), and knowing what to do with the data once you’ve got it uploaded.
For more than a decade, there have been a variety of Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) products available to app developers that will ‘take care’ of data uploads, transformation and republishing tasks.
But any app developer knows, consuming data often requires a lot of pre and post processing, much of which has to happen server-side on a relational database platform like SQL. All these scripts become a critical ingredient of deployed applications, the hidden heroes of new digital transformation projects. After a while, they become invisible to users and administrators, cogs in the data processing machine that few people can see, or know exist.
And that’s a problem. Because, when you want to adapt or change your app, there’s a good chance you will need to go back a re-bake these logic rules. If the developers that built these scripts move on, that can leave your project in a mess.
One of the biggest shortcomings of low-code and no-code enterprise app platforms has been their inability to think of everything.
Every now and then, requirements come along that demand more than the collection of app building blocks provided by the provider. For business-critical apps, very often, in-house development teams have over the years found themselves having to rebuild low-code deployments with hi-code solutions on enterprise systems like Oracle, Salesforce, or SAP.
Until now that is.
Encanvas, one of the leading providers of no-code enterprise applications platforms, has this year introduced a new technology called HyperDrive.
HyperDrive is an agnostic data plug-in technology that enables app developers to ingest code, script, third-party data sources, algorithms, and app plug-ins and DLLs into its no-code integrated development environment (IDE)—all done without scripting and coding. Which is clever, but what makes HyperDrive cleverer still is that the Encanvas team has added data pre-processing and post-processing into its HyperDrive tool.

Encanvas announces the launch of HyperDrive, giving app designers the means to embed practically any data source or digital component into enterprise processes.
OXFORD-UK, 29th April 2021 – ENCANVAS today announced the release of HyperDrive™, an enhancement to its enterprise app platform designed to give businesses an adaptive digital ecosystem to bridge between existing back-office tools and front-end websites to improve customer self-service transparency and experience.
This move towards use of digital technologies to bring differentiating value to customers means companies have become app innovation factories. Demand is fuelling a growing Rapid Applications Development tech industry and Low-Code app development solutions estimated to reach 1$46.4 billion by 2026.
HyperDrive™ is a new feature we are now including in ENCANVAS/4 as an optional upgrade. It’s a Universal Data Plug that means third-party code, script, apps or data sources can be embedded into ENCANVAS’s building block app ecosystem. What makes HyperDrive™ special lies in the way it allows app designers to incorporate new digital tech painlessly into their designs. Furthermore, any data received by HyperDrive™ can be pre-processed within ENCANVAS’s design environment bringing transparency and enormous control over consumed data.
<h3> ENCANVAS/4 with HyperDrive™ is on general release from 1st May 2021.</h3>
