PLATMA is the next era of the evolution of Low/No Code Development Platforms grounded on the Declarative Programming approach.

Use simple English as a universal coding language combined with Visual Templates to build a software solution. It’s as easy as assembling puzzle pieces. 

Having experience in programming is no longer a precondition for developing software!

PLATMA platform allows citizen developers to “code” using Natural Language and ready-made components. Now, users can implement solutions using plain English (as a standard programming language) in combination with visual templates for manufacturing software solutions, streamlining digitization, reducing time to market, and ensuring the fast implementation of innovations. However, we train our AI model to assist you in manufacturing applications. After our trained AI model is released, you will use your voice to implement ideas. The AI tool will assist you in creating a scratch and arranging connections between objects and entities; the rest will design your imagination using our builder.

So, what was the reason for developing and launching the PLATMA platform?

We see the low/no-code niche as a perfect way not only to address existing issues in many branches of modern business processes but also as a core to build a community of talented, curious, engaged, and open-minded people of any age and skill level in coding to contribute in the development of the future.

Our mission: We aim to create conditions that, on the one hand, enable small and medium-sized businesses to utilize solutions based on open-source software and, on the other hand, foster a community of programmers and engineers capable of implementing cutting-edge technological approaches to optimize business processes.

Our vision: PLATMA intends to provide the business community with tools that facilitate transparent relationships between software and services providers and consumers.

PLATMA Goals:

1. Reduce the cost of transformation using existing open-source technologies.

2. Enable citizen developers (non-coders) to contribute to digital transformation.

3. Speed ​​up the development cycle with ready-to-use solutions and a Natural Language Engine.

4. Reduce involvement of the middleman in the chain — IT Department.

Business Opportunities

Our product will be valuable for business representatives, who can order the development of any service or connector on the platform based on the description of their problems, wishes, and technical tasks. The platform is created to work not only with programmers and engineers who are well-versed in creating software but also with less qualified citizen developers who can act as consultants or authors of individual services (and even with non-coders who can build a solution on the fly using simple English and other Natural Languages).

PLATMA will act as a bridge between all stakeholder groups, providing entrepreneurs with ready-to-use services, engineers with the opportunity to implement their potential in the full scope, and citizen developers/non-coders with a platform they can use as designers.

In addition, it also serves transparency and code auditing to minimize vulnerabilities and protect against malware and backdoors. We also aim for the service monetization model used by RedHat. 

Client or Market Needs

Currently, there are specific problems that businesses face daily, especially young businesses with limited resources:

1. Lack of competence.

2. Extended time for individual IT product development.

3. Expensive business process automation systems and high costs of business transformation.

4. Lack of qualified in-house IT staff.

5. Absence of necessary resources (infrastructure).

Our advantage is that we support two software-building options within a single solution.

1. Graphical building of the software solution’s components.

2. The ability to write the necessary functionality using Natural Language and template keywords, helping to preserve the limitations of the business language. 

PLATMA allows for skipping the steps of configuring and deploying a distribution system, infrastructure, backup systems, and logging.

Development with PLATMA is a simple 4-step process:

• generating ideas;

• use natural languages and choose components & tools;

• building the application;

• and testing it.

PLATMA provides the opportunity to create functional software applications that may include:

1. Websites: PLATMA can be used to create websites ranging from simple landing pages to complex e-commerce sites.

2. Workflow Automation: PLATMA can be used to automate simple business processes and optimize operations.

3. Chatbots: PLATMA can be used to create chatbots for customer service or sales purposes.

4. Data Visualization: PLATMA can be used to create visual representations of data, such as charts, graphs, and dashboards.

5. Artificial Intelligence Solutions: PLATMA has functionality that allows users to write solutions using artificial intelligence and incorporate them into their projects.

6. Integration-Based Solutions in PLATMA: With numerous connectors in PLATMA, solutions based on integrating different services will be able to interact with other systems based on input/output rules, making the range of solutions virtually limitless.

PLATMA positions itself as a platform combining components with open-source code (NODE-RED), ready-to-use templates, builder elements, data sources, connectors, community power, monetization opportunities to achieve maximum speed in global implementation, and the ability to attract the maximum amount of professional and citizen developers to its community.

And you know, considering the coverage of users involved and the scope of tools and services provided, it’s reasonable to mention the word “Universe.” Yes, we build the PLATMA Universe, and in the following article, we’ll focus on the following aspects:

What is PLATMA philosophy and universe? What is our value and community? Who are our creators and partners?
