WaveMaker
Transforming The Future of Software Development with Low-Code

In the world of software development, low-code platforms have now become an established wave in addressing the exponential demand for modern applications. In this low-code platform landscape, WaveMaker is a world-leading open technology-based low-code development platform for professional application developers.

One of the early starters in the low-code/no-code space, WaveMaker specializes in addressing the need for enterprises to build complex, core applications. And WaveMaker is the only low-code platform with a market sweet spot in building sophisticated software platforms for large independent software vendors (ISVs). Such enterprises and ISVs tend to demand complex integration across multiple systems and data sources, customization over the lifecycle, a component-based model for easy assembly and extensions of the original application or product, and a frictionless means of co-existing low-code applications with existing applications, tools, standards, and infrastructure.

“While most low-code platforms cater to the tactical application needs of non-developers, we are focused on providing enterprise-grade technologies for strategic, long-lived applications that can be developed and maintained by professional developers,” says Vijay Prasanna Pullur, CEO and Co-founder of WaveMaker.

WaveMaker addresses the core challenges that the software development industry faces, such as a shortage of skilled full-stack developers and app sprawl resulting from non-IT users creating non-compliant apps. The platform aligns with modern, open architectural choices and practices that are easily assimilated into the enterprise. It offers real code generation, is developer-friendly, and allows apps to be embedded into high-code applications via micro-frontend technology. There is zero lock-in with WaveMaker-generated code can be exported to any IDE and applications can be deployed anywhere without needing a proprietary runtime engine.

Enterprises and ISVs do not have to worry about upgrading their application's technology stack anymore which drastically reduces the total cost of ownership over a 3-5 year period. With WaveMaker, applications are automatically upgraded to the latest technology versions by simply importing applications into a newer version of WaveMaker.

With OWASP protection, granular role-based access control, and Veracode security certification, WaveMaker provides security professionals peace of mind when it comes to generated code and applications.

WaveMaker has an inbuilt library of rich UI widgets, layouts, and themes, which helps developers rapidly build modern, classy web and mobile applications out-of-the-box with very minimal hand coding. Integrating with design tools like Figma enables developers and designers to collaborate more closely, resulting in pixel-to-pixel matched UI generated automatically from UI designs. These unique features have led some of the world's largest corporations, including a top five U.S. consumer bank, the world's largest FinTech, the second-largest U.S. P&C insurer, and a top five global IT services major, choosing WaveMaker.

Core to WaveMaker is a component-based model of development, which allows developers in enterprises and ISVs to create custom, API-infused building blocks (prefabs) that can be quickly and easily composed into full applications by citizen developers in downstream or even external teams. WaveMaker is pioneering this concept of builder-composer using the prefab model and enabling customers to innovate how they build, deliver and sustain highly personalized software.

WaveMaker offers both a SaaS edition as well as an on-premise edition. It offers a simple, transparent pricing model based solely on the number of developer seats on a term subscription basis. In addition, it offers professional services, consulting, and training for modernization, digital transformation, and product rewriting projects.

The platform has been validated by large, publicly held enterprises and software companies, delivering 300 percent higher developer productivity, over 60-65 percent cost savings in professional services, and 4 times faster time to market.

WaveMaker, an independent software company, was once a part of VMware before being acquired by Pullur's enterprise software firm. Together, with Pullur's expertise in creating and operating successful enterprise software ventures, a solid team that commercialized the world’s first J2EE app server 20 years ago, and a modern, Cloud-native high-performance low-code platform, WaveMaker is creating waves in the high-end of the global low-code platform market.
