    Kissflow

    Kissflow is an easy-to-use, low-code platform for custom application development tailored to business operations. Kissflow empowers process owners and IT developers to automate and build processes and applications for internal business operations. We help solve two main challenges in the enterprise: The first is the custom application backlog. Enterprise IT teams say “not now” to most custom application requests from business teams. While important to a department, they aren’t vital enough to engage limited IT bandwidth. Kissflow gives internal developers a hyper-fast platform to build various applications quickly. The second is starting a citizen development program. Process owners are scattered throughout the organization and need a standard, approved, and governed way to build automated applications that are a step up from spreadsheets. With its simple no-code design, patented rules engine, and comprehensive governance module,

    AWS App Mesh

    Amazon Web Services

    AWS App Mesh is a service mesh that provides application-level networking to facilitate communication between your services across various types of computing infrastructure. App Mesh offers comprehensive visibility and high availability for your applications. Modern applications are generally made up of multiple services. Each service can be developed using various types of compute infrastructure, such as Amazon EC2, Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, and AWS Fargate. As the number of services within an application grows, it becomes difficult to pinpoint the exact location of errors, redirect traffic after errors, and safely implement code changes. Previously, this required creating monitoring and control logic directly in your code and redeploying your services every time there were changes.

    FlowX.AI

    For years, enterprises have been promised useful tools for application modernization, digital product development, and no-code/ low-code. But these promises have not been kept. Instead, enterprises got a thousand disjointed point solutions, that don't scale, and ended up captive to proprietary languages and fixed vendor solutions. Enterprise customers face an urgent need to modernize, with ~80% of IT budgets locked up in maintaining old legacy systems. They demand fast integrations with simplified, lower-cost implementations. There is tremendous competition. Securing market share is hard enough. Growing is significantly harder. Enterprises need to build complex omnichannel digital products that provide an excellent user experience. People are sick and tired to be locked into proprietary programming languages, with compounding vendor fees and add-ons. Large enterprises need the freedom to build and extend easily their digital platforms.
