What is SnapApp Application Builder

SnapApp Application Builder is a low code tool designed to quickly build beautiful, powerful and secure database-driven applications.

The initial crucial step in building a successful application is comprehending the business process and data model to define the application’s functionality.

The key first step to building a good application is to understand the business process and data model to determine how the application needs to function.

When modernizing a brownfield application, review its functionality to understand what works and focus on the data collected and its purpose. Evaluate the application from each persona’s perspective to create a journey map.

An advantage of modernization is that the database schema often remains relevant and reveals essential business logic. This schema can usually be imported into SnapApp as a baseline for objects and fields.

Greenfield development is more challenging than modernizing legacy applications. SnapApp accelerates new builds with a prebuilt Government schema for public sector use cases. Using Agile practices, start with an MVP and grow incrementally through projects and sprints.
