Forrester Names Aptify As A "Hot Technology Company To Watch"
Independent research firm, Forrester Research, Inc. recently named Aptify as a “Hot Tech Company to Watch in Insurance”. Why does Forrester think Aptify is a good fit in the Insurance industry? Ellen Carney, a senior analyst on the insurance industry wrote:
"Aptify RAD development framework addresses a big challenge for tier 1 insurance market in the aftermath of the Great Recession: geting new products and business practices deployed fast in IT environments hampered by legacy applications and long development and change cycles".
She also wrote:
"Aptify provides a dynamic business application scaffold that can reduce the typical application development time by as much as 70% over traditional application development methods".
We agree. Aptify RAD is a platform that enables business people to drive functionality in a rapidly changing business climate. When your business process must adapt quickly to retain a competitive edge, Aptify RAD can provide you an environment that liberates your business processes from antiquated and static systems. The idea is simple – empower business people to work side by side with professional developers in defining and building applications for their use. In comparison, most models result in the business user being involved, but not a full player in the process. At some point, the business person hands over complete ownership of the project to IT or Development, and then waits for the results.
In Aptify RAD, the business person not only can define the majority of an application themselves, when development is required they stay involved side by side with the developer to ensure the functionality evolves the way they need it to. Aptify RAD provides graphical tools that allow a business analyst, power user, or “Citizen Developer” to create meaningful applications quickly. Professional developers can then focus their energy on writing the more complex parts of the system whenever required, and plugging those pieces back into the overall model that was defined by the business analyst.
