Products

Visual PaaS

OrangeScape's initial product was originally called Dimension. It was released as a cloud-based application in December 2008. In 2009, the new release was called OrangeScape Dimension. In 2012, the name was changed to Visual PaaS. Visual Paas uses a spreadsheet like development environment for creating business applications. The product was rewritten to run its development environment on the browser and to support cloud-oriented datastores such as BigTable. The 3.0 version allowed applications developed on the Visual Paas development environment to be deployed on Google App Engine.

Visual Paas has three major components: OrangeScape Studio, OrangeScape Enterprise, OrangeScape Cloud.

OrangeScape Studio is a browser-based development environment. It provides 4 design perspectives:

  • Model design: spreadsheet like interface to define the data model and the business logic that captures application data.
  • Form design: to customize the look and feel of the underlying business model and make it more usable for the end users.
  • Process design: to define how the model should move from one user to another based on the data/decision made by the previous user.
  • Action design: to build composite command chain that can be used for tasks such as mail notification, integration etc.

    • Applications developed using OrangeScape Studio can be deployed as on-premise applications using OrangeScape Enterprise or as a SaaS application using OrangeScape Cloud. OrangeScape Cloud uses GAE, offering a shared-everything or a shared-processing multitenancy models. Shared-processing is achieved by deploying the application into different Google app engine accounts. OrangeScape Enterprise runs on JEE application servers and supports standard databases including Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL and IBM DB2.

    KiSSFLOW

    Kissflow is a human-centric workflow software platform. It is web-based application that allows business users to create and automate their own business applications.
