Custom Web App Development – Success Stories Across 5 Industries

According to Gartner, worldwide spending on enterprise applications is expected to reach over $200 billion in 2019, driven primarily by modernization, functional expansion, and digital transformation projects. By 2020, custom web app development is predicted to proliferate, with 75% of applications to be implemented with a “build” approach instead of “buy”.

Today most organizations already find themselves in need of custom web applications that are tailored to their industry focus and unique business processes. Low-code application platforms are designed to precisely address this need, and Caspio has been a leader in the space since 2001.

Read below to see why organizations across various industries turn to Caspio for their custom web app development.

1. Government

The Challenge: The Georgia Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) was created to respond exclusively to the needs of the state’s criminal justice system. In response to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, CJCC was tasked to create a custom web app for newly-available grant funding. Given a tight budget and short timeline, CJCC needed an affordable solution, fast.

The Solution: The power and flexibility of Caspio made it easy for the CJCC team to roll out their application and meet the critical deadline. Using Caspio’s point-and-click tools, CJCC built and deployed a web application with a sophisticated online database in just one day. Read the case study to learn more.

2. Health and Social Services

The Challenge: The Florida Department of Health conducts routine monitoring, education, surveillance, and sampling to prevent the occurrence of disease, and the department received many requests to publish public records online. Without a readily-accessible online system, state workers had to manually compile reports in response to Freedom of Information Act (FOI) requests from citizens.

The Solution: The Florida Department of Health uses Caspio to maintain more than a dozen database applications on its website. Among the available reports are biomedical waste handling,   septic tank contractors, food hygiene, and tanning facilities. Read the case study to learn more.

3. Education

The Challenge: The Human Resources Department at Collin College needed a database system to manage all faculty credentials and transcript information. However, the software solution they planned to use failed to deliver many of its promised features. With an accreditation review drawing closer, the department started looking for an alternative that could be deployed within a few weeks.

The Solution: Norma Allen, Vice President of Human Resources at Collin College, found Caspio and built the system by herself, overnight. Using Caspio’s low-code platform, Collin College has since developed over 20 custom web applications, saving an estimated $100,000. Read the case study to learn more.

4. Nonprofit

The Challenge: Founded in 1970, the Japan Center for International Exchange (JCIE) is one of the few independent nongovernmental organizations in the field of international affairs in Japan. JCIE carries a wide range of programs to promote dialogue and cooperation among leaders from different sectors in Japan and around the world. When the tragic earthquake and tsunami hit Japan in 2012, JCIE quickly responded as a resource for those looking to donate to earthquake relief causes that shared exactly how donations would be utilized.

The Solution: The JCIE team wanted to create a custom web app with a centralized database for all grants earmarked towards Japan relief efforts. Lacking IT staff, the team soon realized that coding is not an option. While evaluating potential solutions, Caspio quickly rose to the top of the list and JCIE launched a grant repository application offering in-depth information on 1000 grants from 370 donors. Read the case study to learn more.

5. Media and Publishing

The Challenge: Having won nine Pulitzer Prizes, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) is one of the top news media organizations in the nation. Each month, AJC has one or two custom web app development projects requiring an interactive searchable database. Applications include home sales, restaurant guides, sporting event statistics, election reports, etc.

The Solution: Using Caspio, AJC is able to implement over 10 custom web apps annually. More importantly, rapid turnaround is a critical factor in the media industry. For example, AJC was able to deploy a web application in 20 minutes to serve thousands of victims during Hurricane Katrina. Read the case study to learn more.
