Can a development platform be used to develop software to reduce development costs?

Yes, the development platform can greatly shorten the development cycle, reduce the development cost, improve the development quality, and enable the management system to evolve and upgrade with business changes. The following is an inventory of some mainstream development platform manufacturers on the market, and enterprises can evaluate whether they are suitable according to their needs during the selection process.

MyApps development platform is a low-quality rapid development platform independently developed by Tianling, which integrates core technologies such as process engine, form engine and report engine, and shows unique advantages in its fast and flexible development characteristics and accurate grasp of Chinese process management business model and operation habits.

MyApps low-quality development platform adopts microservice architecture, built-in process engine, form engine, report engine and other seven functional components and a large number of practical templates, users can quickly build applications through visual configuration mode, greatly shorten the development cycle, is the empowerment artifact of government and enterprise information construction!

webbuilder

WebBuilder is a comprehensive and efficient application development and operation platform. The browser-based integrated development environment, visual and intelligent design, can easily complete the development of regular applications and mobile applications for mobile phones.

WebBuilder can be used to develop CRM, OA, etc., as well as enterprise-level application systems in various industries, to help the rapid construction of information management systems. The perfect infrastructure has the complete functions necessary for large application systems, so that the development of application systems only needs to be dedicated to business development.

Development platform. UCML is a framework-level business development platform that supports it. The .NET system directly generates C and JS source code, and realizes the reuse of business logic and assembly actions on the basis of framework reuse and component reuse. UCML is a software development tool and enterprise IT architecture platform that integrates single sign-on, portal, process management (BPM), business development and integration, business measurement and performance framework, and business analytics.

yes, the role of the platform is really powerful. Take, for example, the rapid development platform I'm working on. Ordinary developers can quickly master the basic product development skills in one day, and can develop reimbursement management and reimbursement statistics functions with approval process in five minutes.

It makes the speed of software development faster, the threshold is lower, and the development cost of enterprise information system is low and the maintenance is simpler.

1. For software companies, traditional coding development faces three major problems, long development cycle, high development cost, difficult business adjustment, but low development platform function componentization, business scenario template, through the configuration of the way can complete the management software development, has incomparable advantages, imagine as the boss of a software company, when there are many projects, a large number of high-paid programmers are recruited, when there are few projects, there is nothing to do and have to raise, the cost is very difficult to control, and now customers are getting smarter and smarter. The requirements are getting higher and higher, and without a low-** development tool, it's really hard to mix!

2. For terminal enterprises, the information system is empowered for the efficient development of the business, but now the technology is changing so fast, the customer requirements are so much, and the enterprise management change is also very fast, which requires the adjustment and evolution of the information system The requirements are getting higher and higher, but if you find a software vendor, according to the statistics of Zhongguancun, it is difficult to say that the company is still alive after a year, and it is not cost-effective to find a software company in terms of cost for any small adjustments, but if you use low ** flat share development, All of this is easy to solve;

3. In summary, whether for software companies or terminal enterprises, the advantages of the low-quality development platform are obvious, especially the current downward trend of the economy, the enterprise IT budget is limited and the user requirements are improved, and the information construction must decisively keep up with the low-quality road, and the low-quality development platform has been developed in China for more than ten years, and there are many well-known manufacturers' products are very good.

Software development costs range from a few hundred to tens of millions. For example, a certain gadget, maybe two or three days of development by one person is enough.

However, some system software, such as banking systems, requires a year or more to develop, and requires hundreds of people to work together. The cost is relatively high. Moreover, the software and hardware used in the development are included in the cost.

I'll take the applet as an example to illustrate the closed state. Mini programs are considered to have the least cost of Internet development.

00001.The Mini Program certification fee is 300 yuan per year.

00002.The cost of cloud server is 1,000-10,000 yuan per year (different application scenarios have different requirements for server configuration).

00003.Purchase a domain name for 50 yuan per year (the ordinary domain name mentioned here) certificate fee (you can use Alibaba Cloud for free).

00005.SMS fee (required by some Mini Programs).

00006.Logistics interface fee (** class required).

Storage fees (required for education and **).

00008.The development cost of the small program (assessed according to the actual situation) may only cost tens of thousands of dollars in the front operation, but the development cost of the eighth point is expensive, generally in 4-50,000 yuan, and the function customization is more likely to reach more than 100,000 yuan.

Finally, send a benefit to everyone.,Recently sorted out the source code of the small program with the background in all walks of life.,By the way, share it with everyone.,Sedan source, please like and comment on this Q&A.,And then send me a private message to get it.。

The cost of developing software is closely related to the purpose of the software.

The subject talked about "it seems that in addition to the programmer's labor cost and some necessary hardware support, there is not much money", which is also true, because the basic cost of developing software alone is the cost of R&D labor and hardware, for example, some programmers will develop a small software for their own entertainment, and the cost is relatively not too high. (But it still has to pay a lot of effort, but the cost is not so high compared to mature market software).

However, once the software needs to be made public and used by more people, such as the independent development of software by the IT department of the enterprise, the practicality must be considered, and the workload of programmers will be greatly increased, and it will not only involve the IT department. This is not the case with self-developed software, not to mention software that needs to go to the market to serve more people.

The following is a detailed comparison between the three:

1) When an independent programmer wants to develop a piece of software based on his or her own ideas:

1?32) When an enterprise chooses to develop its own software, it generally has to go through the following steps:

There are several costs involved:

2. Time cost: A software from scratch to R & D online, generally will go through a relatively long cycle, when the business personnel after half a year of waiting to find that the product is finally developed, the business needs have changed, the R & D personnel labor results are invalid, start again, and the development time is extended again?

3. Maintenance cost: The strength of the developer and the experience of the team project will directly affect the follow-up maintenance iteration, and the team of the enterprise independent research and development software is often inexperienced, and the complex improvement and maintenance in the later stage is almost doomed at the beginning of the project, not to mention the secondary development tasks brought about by the constantly updated needs.

The above costs are borne by a single enterprise, and the cost of this software usage model is very high. (Unless the company casually deals with a difficult piece of software).

3) When the developed software is oriented to the entire market, it generally goes through the following steps:

Compared with independent software research and development, market-oriented software needs to be tested by the market, and the requirements for product innovation and practicality are higher. Therefore, in addition to R&D personnel, there are also positions such as product managers, testers, UI designers, visual designers, marketing, operations, technical support, implementation consultants, etc., and the labor cost is significantly increased.

However, this kind of software because of its high innovation and high practicability, after market testing, meets the needs of most people, so the cost is apportioned, and many software ** is actually not high (even a lot of software is free to use, through other ways to ** cost, such as advertising, advanced services), but the above second kind of software developed specifically for an enterprise The cost is borne by the enterprise itself, and the cost is much higher.

Because you get what you pay for, and IT itself is a little bit.

It can be applied in the development of any project, especially the vertical width is suitable for enterprise resource planning system (ERP), enterprise office system (OA), customer relationship management system (CRM), warehousing and logistics management system (WMS), order management system (OMS), e-commerce system, financial system, industry software, and various Internet system management background, etc., based on the development method of the first generator, it can reduce the coding workload by more than 80%, saving labor costs and time costs for enterprise development. Ensure the highest quality and standardization, thereby reducing project risks.

At present, the rapid development platforms that do well on the market include Tianling, Puyuan, and K2, and the real selection should be based on the specific situation.

1. The government and enterprise units choose Tianling, and he has a lot of collapsed localization adaptation databases, as well as Chinese-style processes and so on.

2. Foreign companies choose K2, and their service providers are foreign, which is more suitable;

3. Open source selection of Tianling and Puyuan.

For most people who want to develop an app, in addition to quality, ** is their priority to consider, some people only pursue low**, but they don't know that after the extremely low price, the quality of the app plummets, affecting the user's experience and use, so the gains outweigh the losses, so is there a premise that does not reduce the quality of the app, and save development costs.

First, make a clear plan in the early stage.

Before developing an app, plan the functions and logic of the app in advance, so that developers can have a clear idea and know the overall goal and direction of the app development, so as to avoid misunderstandings in the development process, thereby saving development time and costs.

Second, the communication between the two sides should be in place.

This step is very important, only the developer and the developer have done in-depth communication, in order to clarify the development intention, the developer can understand the intention and idea of the developer, in order to control the overall development direction of the project, the development of the app design to all aspects of the work, the overall logic, the details are to be communicated in place. For example, the development of chess and card game app, whether it is necessary to develop a national chess and card game or a specific chess and card game in a certain place, because different regions have different ways to play, and the gameplay inside is even very different, so it is necessary to sort out the gameplay before development, so that the developed chess and card games can meet the needs of users and develop the chess and card game app that users want.

Third, the functional design should be concise.

If you want to reduce costs, then the function of the app software should be designed to be simple, not too many flashy things such as dynamic effects, because in this way, in order to increase the cost of developers, increase the difficulty of development, increase the development time, which will lead to an increase in development costs, so concise functional design can reduce development costs, rather than spending energy on flashy special effect details.

Fourth, reduce later modifications as much as possible.

The most taboo thing about developing an app is to change it back and forth, because the development of an app has to go through demand communication, prototype design, UI design, front-end development, back-end development, post-testing, shelves and other processes, if it is developed out, and then make major modifications such as logic, it will lead to the previous work in vain, and become useless, even if it is modified on the original app, it will be changed beyond recognition and cannot meet the requirements of users, so do app development should be planned in advance, and reduce later modifications as much as possible. In this way, development costs can be effectively controlled.

If enterprises want to reduce development costs, they need to do it in a targeted manner. For example, you can start with the function of the product. Companies need to be very clear about their needs and know what kind of product to develop.

When the goals and development requirements are clear, it can effectively reduce the cost of communication between the two parties. At the same time, try to keep the idea as simple as possible and simplify the content of the product, ** will be reduced. Of course, the key core functionality is to be retained.

When we first came into contact with software development, most of us used notepads to write programs, used JDK, MFC and other APIs to write ** to complete the desired functions, and then compiled into executable files after writing, and then run. Although this method is popular, but it is not convenient at all, slowly, programmers began to seek more convenient development tools, so such as Eclipse, JScher, VC++ and a series of development tools appeared on the market, the emergence of these tools, greatly facilitated the programming work of developers, reduced a lot of unnecessary trouble for programmers. Operations such as compiling, exception handling, publishing, and running simulations can all be done on these development tools.

However, over time, programmers have found that even with such a good development tool, in the process of development, there are still many, many ** to write, and careful analysis shows that many ** are basically repetitive writing, and the functions are similar. So, they began to think about another more convenient and efficient development tool, such as: can we encapsulate a lot of repetitive **, and then call it when we need to use it?

Or can we build a basic development framework, and then the programmer can do secondary development on top of this framework? Through the programmer's experimentation one at a time, a new development tool was finally formed, and that was the development platform.

The development platform is simply understood: a software developed based on a certain programming language or a certain programming language, and the software is not a final software product, it is a secondary development software framework, users can develop a variety of software products on this product, and when developing on this product, there is no need to write a large number of ** as in the previous programming method, but only need to carry out some simple configuration, or write a very small amount ** It can complete the development of a business system - Mechsoft rapid development platform.
