Why icaria Lean Factory

More applications, sooner and at lower cost

With the barriers of conventional programming removed, more people on the team can build efficient applications.

How it works

From the functional model to the application

You describe the business, the architect sets the rules of the code and icaria Lean Factory programs the application.

Steps to create an application

  1. Describe the functional model

    You don’t need to know the programming language. What matters is what you know about the business.

  2. Apply the architecture decisions

    icaria Architect Lab gives full control of the generation process: architecture recommendations are implemented in the generated code.

  3. Generate and complete the application

    icaria Lean Factory programs the application from the model. Manual code lives alongside the generated code when needed.

Evolution

Change technology without redoing the design

The generation cartridge incorporates the evolution of the technology ecosystem. The functional model is regenerated in a new technology, so the application avoids obsolescence.

What it brings

Applications you can maintain and govern

  • Sustainable applications

    Design and implementation are separate: they evolve at independent rhythms.

  • Generated and manual, together

    Generated code and manual code live side by side in the same application.

  • No dependence on the platform

    The source code is accessible and understandable. It can be maintained by hand without depending on icaria Lean Factory, although it will probably cost more.

  • Architects in control

    icaria Architect Lab governs the whole generation process and applies their decisions in the code.

  • Coordinated teams

    Version control enables efficient collaboration, and functional components are reused across applications.

  • Simpler training and use

    Applications share design and operating principles. When you change them, they change everywhere.

Teams

Development teams that are more creative

  • Products and processes

    Put new ideas to work

    Quickly create the applications your new products and processes need. Evolve, rectify and move forward again.

  • Architecture

    Share your knowledge

    Instead of writing the white paper, implement your decisions in a generation cartridge. Any user will create applications that stay true to them.

  • Business

    Use what you know about the business

    icaria Lean Factory takes care of programming the application. You don’t need to know the language.
