AgilePoint, a global leader in the low-code development platform and process automation market was named as a ‘contender’ in The Forrester Wave™: Low-Code Development Platforms for Professional Developers, Q2 2021.

The Forrester report underscores the importance of “rapid app development and constant iteration in software”, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis. It declares low-code platforms as a ‘first-class development approach’.

In the research report, Forrester recommends enterprises “look for [low-code development platforms] that:

• Elegantly address both data-centric and process-centric development patterns
• Provide tools suitable across a range of dev personas
• Meet specific infrastructure, architecture, and dev process requirements

Importance of AgilePoint’s recognition in The Forrester Wave™ report

AgilePoint has been providing very strong low-code/no-code and process automation tools since 2003 for citizen developers while enabling professional IT developers to build more complex applications faster than ever before.

It is an uphill task to run geographically diversified operations while serving a demanding portfolio of large enterprise clients across multiple sectors such as manufacturing, government, and financial services. We’ve especially focused on:

Product: To deliver a superior user experience through AgilePoint’s user interface enabling a full stack of capabilities such as forms, processes, data models, portal pages, and customized mobile apps, as well as establishing partnerships with RPA vendors like UiPath and Blue Prism.

Platform ecosystem: Since we have been in the market since 2003, we used this time to develop a vibrant ecosystem around our low-code/no-code platform which includes prebuilt libraries such as popular process patterns, 70+ predefined integrations, and 700+ process activities. This means our customers spend less time figuring the logistics of provisioning and launching new apps.

Innovation: We’ve leaned heavily on adding AI-driven process flows to provide dynamic workflows, and also support low-code edge computing and digital twins and the Internet of Things (IoT) use cases.

We believe this has helped AgilePoint being recognized by two leading research firms, Forrester and Gartner. Specifically in The Forrester Wave™: Low-Code Development Platforms for Professional Developers, Q2 2021 report, AgilePoint was assessed against 27 critical criteria across three core categories. AgilePoint received placement in The Forrester Wave™ as a contender. AgilePoint also scored 5/5 in the product vision criterion.

AgilePoint v8.0 helped us achieve the corporate goals we set out for

Looking back at the defining moments that we believe helped us secure this recognition, we’d like to highlight the release of AgilePoint v8.0, which allowed our customers and their fusion teams to build digital processes, applications, and business portals in record time.

“The new release of the AgilePoint platform was the culmination of everything that we’ve been working toward since we founded AgilePoint: Scalable business automation for all, regardless of skill level. Organizations everywhere can use our platform to create composable enterprise environments that can stand the test of time and technology, even in the harshest economic conditions” Jesse Shiah | CEO and Co-Founder of AgilePoint

Our take: Forrester acknowledges our vision

In our view, Forrester acknowledged AgilePoint’s spirit of being nimble and responsive to the demands of customers and the market. “AgilePoint is David in a land of software Goliaths. What AgilePoint lacks in size, it looks to make up for in agility”, states the Forrester report.

“A reference customer also confirmed the firm’s agility and said that AgilePoint is ’extremely responsive and collaborative when considering requests for product enhancements."

As for the breadth of use cases our customers are able to develop in AgilePoint, the Forrester report says “Historically, AgilePoint is known for low-code process automation that handles a wide variety of use cases from small and situational to very sophisticated applications.”

We appreciate our customers for trusting us and using AgilePoint for automating their most complex processes and using us to develop applications that may have been time and cost-prohibitive otherwise.

“From a technology point of view, we have taken a best-of-breed approach. That means that we are concentrating on enabling more effective connections to our underlying systems to allow us to leverage them in new process-enabled applications.” Shmulik Volkenfeld | Director of IT, Elbit Systems

“We are competing against very big competitors with deeper pockets than us so we have to have better processes to be more effective — more efficient to compete. We had a brand new line of business that was starting to ramp up and we needed help. We are using AgilePoint to improve process efficiency and reduce costs. ” Marc Miller | Director Strategic Planning and Integration, GVTC

“Perhaps the most important value-add that a low-code platform like AgilePoint provides is the ability to update applications on a continual basis. “If we have something we want to change, it’s a flexible tool.” Cristina Fonseca | Senior System Safety Specialist at Sound Transit
