Unified Platform for Speed, Collaboration, and Control

Simian is a modern low-code platform. It provides an all-in-one solution that merges speed, collaboration, and control into a single development environment supporting cross-domain app development. Simian is designed to accelerate the development process while ensuring that businesses maintain control over their operations. Here’s how:

Low-Code, Iterative Development

Low-code platforms allow developers to quickly build applications in fast, iterative cycles. In Simian the user interface is developed using the Simian Builder (tutorial), enabling drag-and-drop visual design. Combined with the back-end coding in high-level functional languages as Python and MATLAB, development times are significantly reduced, making it easier to adapt to evolving insights and business needs. Simian requires no (pseudo) HTML, JS, CSS coding.

Access Through Standard APIs and SQL

Integrate with virtually any part of your business. Using standard APIs and SQL, developers can tap into a wide range of data sources and services, ensuring that all areas of the organization are connected. One such an example is the pricing tools developed at de VolksBank. Data is obtained from many sources and combined into a pricing model.

One-Click Deployment to Cloud

Whether you need to deploy to a public or private cloud, Simian provides one-click deployment options, simplifying the process. This allows businesses to focus on development and collaboration rather than managing infrastructure.

Reusable Components for Collaboration

Reusable components not only speed up development but also foster collaboration across teams. Once created, these components can be shared and reused across different projects, improving consistency and reducing duplicated effort. Simian offers an explicit pattern for reusable custom components called Composed Components.

Managed Access

Simian integrates with identity providers such as LDAP and Azure AD for authentication and authorization.

Separation of Responsibilities

Simian facilitates clean separation of responsibilities. IT manages the platform on which deployed Simian Web Apps are made available, the business is responsible for the functionality of the applications.

Cross-Domain Collaboration

Low-code platforms are particularly exciting for their flexibility across various domains. Whether you’re working in data science, simulations, or even animation, the tools and features are designed to adapt. This means that even in traditionally siloed fields, collaboration and innovation can flourish. Simian Web Apps can have their back-end programmed in either Python or MATLAB, the two most-used functional languages available. Both MATLAB and Python offer an extensive list of domain-specific toolboxes, libraries and packages, as well as API functionality for any data source. Having the flexibility with and within the back-ends makes Simian a perfect platform for cross-domain application development.
