Power Up Your Skills with Caspio’s Rapid App Development Platform
December 18, 2014
A lack of technical know-how can be a major roadblock for business professionals just looking to get their job done. However, learning complex programming, databases, and cloud technology isn’t always a feasible or realistic solution.
On the other hand, becoming a Caspio power user can pay off by an order of magnitude. It’s much easier than learning to code, yet gives you so much more power and clout to produce greater impact within your organization – which can potentially change the trajectory of your career for the better.
Here are some of the results you can expect once you start using Caspio to its full potential:
1. Become the problem-solver-in-chief.
First and foremost, you will be able to solve problems with custom-built applications. Using Caspio allows you to create data-driven cloud apps without coding — be it real-time reporting, business process automation, or complete data management solutions. So whenever you or your team is in need of a quick solution, you can turn to Caspio and create that application tailored to your exact needs.
2. Centralize your data management.
The more applications you create, the more you’ll realize the importance of having a centralized database to manage everything. And with Caspio, the database will be the last thing you need to worry about. The platform includes a powerful and scalable online database at its core, providing virtually all the capabilities that you would expect from any top-tier database — only without any of the complexities.
3. Prioritize all your great ideas.
Once you start working on the platform, you will soon find yourself able to bring all those great ideas you’ve had to life (finally)! It could be an app to automate your lead generation, to enable better data sharing among multiple groups, or to streamline your existing day-to-day operations. But don’t get overwhelmed if you have a long list. With Caspio, it’s easy to prioritize the most important ideas first, go live, and later come back to make quick modifications to your apps without re-deploying.
4. Balance quantity vs. quality.
When you’re busy churning out all these applications, another aspect to consider is the balance between quantity and quality. In other words, would you rather create more applications or focus on making some of them perfect? Caspio allows you to achieve both. The platform is a proven solution to reduce time-to-market by at least 10 times compared to traditional development methods. Additionally, if your team becomes too backlogged with projects, you can always reach out to our Professional Services team to have a solution custom-developed for you.
5. Create a sweeping trend across your organization.
Once your applications are put to work, the impact will soon speak for itself — many times delivering immediate results. But don’t let that momentum stall. Become an evangelist of your solutions and tell your colleagues about them. Chances are that other departments are also looking for rapid solutions and you will soon become the go-to person for fresh and innovative ideas.
For example, one of the leading bookstore chains in the United States created a custom application using Caspio to streamline their data collection process across 700 locations nationwide. The solution cut the processing time by half and reduced errors by over 25%. The project was originally spearheaded by a single employee, and as soon as the word got out, she became well-known for her innovative ideas and inspired other business units to follow suit.
So how exactly do you become a Caspio power user, you ask?
The fastest way to get there is to start a free trial and attend all of Caspio’s live training sessions. The instructor-led interactive sessions provide the foundation to create your first Caspio app in just a few hours.
