01. What is the Omnitep Platform?

The Omnitep is a next-generation powerful, scalable, and secure Auto-code (AI-based) development ecosystem that offers a flexible synergy of the Low-code, No-code, and Zero-code capabilities.

Empower your team with a one-stop solution enabling swift development, delivery, and evolution of robust cloud-based applications. Say goodbye to the costly, time-consuming complexities of juggling multiple coding languages and disparate development tools, and the hassle of seeking specialized vertical expertise developers.

02. What is Auto-code?

Auto-code is a type of low-code and no-code development platform that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to generate code. This means that users can design and create applications without having to write much of the code themselves.

Omnitep is the AI-enhanced low-code platform, a pioneering tool that not only writes comprehensive software modules on your behalf, but also serves as an interactive mentor, elevating your junior developers and amplifying your team’s productivity like never before.

03. Low-code vs. No-code vs. Auto-code: What Are the Differences?

Low-code, No-code, and Auto-code are types of modern development platforms that simplify and speed up application development where each type has its benefits as well as some disadvantages.

Low-code is a simplified programming syntax used in a powerful dynamic and collaborative IDE interface, allowing users to write code that is more versatile and flexible compared to No-code (a pure visual drag-and-drop interface). This makes it more suitable for crafting demanding and complex applications, but it requires a longer learning curve to master and may not fit Citizen developers.

No-code is a pure visual drag-and-drop interface that enables developers to create applications without having to write any code at all. This makes it possible for anyone to build software solutions, regardless of their technical skills. However, pure No-code platforms are limited in terms of functionality, scalability, and customization as they often geared toward specific solution use cases.

Auto-code platforms use artificial intelligence (AI) to generate code that developers can then customize. This makes it possible for developers to create complex applications quickly and easily while reducing learning curve without compromising on scalability, security, and maintainability.

If you are looking for a development platform that offers the best of all worlds, then Omnitep Platform is a great option as it offers combined benefits of all three types in the all-in-one synergetic ecosystem!

04. Is Omnitep a “professional” platform?

Professional low-code development platforms are designed for developers who need to build complex enterprise-grade applications. Professional platforms offer a wider range of features, functionality, and control without typical limitations of Citizen developer-oriented platforms such as: lack of flexibility, overwhelming complexity, limited scalability, lack of control, security risks, insufficient governance, uncontrolled accumulation of technical debt, poor maintainability, etc.

Fortunately, Omnitep is a hybrid low-code platform, designed to empower both professional and citizen developers alike, where No-code and Auto-code capabilities enable non-technical users to confidently deliver secure, maintainable, and scalable applications that meet the highest standards of complexity and efficiency."

The Omnitep ecosystem is the perfect blend of advanced functionality and ease-of-use, catering to your diverse development needs without compromise.

05. What are the key features and benefits of the Omnitep Platform?

Artificial intelligence:

AI-Assisted “Copilot” incorporated throughout Omnitep Platform not only enables unparalleled coding efficiency but also empowers intuitive visual design tools, automated project management, visually guided DevOps workflows, all within one integrated ecosystem, allowing your team to innovate faster and smarter while reducing training needs and development costs.

Dynamic and Collaborative IDE:

Omnitep’s IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is a powerful and dynamic AI-assisted code editor with syntax highlighting, code folding, smart auto-completion, code quality checker and built-in version control system.

In addition, it also has integrated unit testing, documentation, progress tracking, time management, and collaboration tools such as shared workspaces, chat, task assignment and delegation and more.

Native Cloud Solution Architecture:

The main benefit of Omnitep Platform architecture is native support for “Full Stack” cloud application development that doesn't separate front-end and back-end development as independent threads. This greatly simplifies and speeds up the entire application design and development as the boundary between front-end and back-end development is blurred, and one developer (or team) crafts the entire stack from user interface to server-side logic and data storage.

The Platform hides the complexity of the underlying technologies, providing an abstraction that allows non-technical users (often called "citizen developers") and more experienced developers to work more efficiently and focus on the logic and functionality of the application rather than the technical details.

06. Who uses Omnitep?

Omnitep Platform is a powerful ecosystem that can be used to create applications and systems for a variety of purposes. The applications can run on various device types and operating systems.
Omnitep is used by a wide range of people and organizations including:

Solution integrators

Software development firms

Independent developers

Businesses of any size

Startups

Departments and Teams (internal tools)

Educational institutions (research and learning experiences)

Individuals; Citizen Developers; Students

The Platform is being used for a wide range of use cases to create applications that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of business operations.

07. How do I deploy my application?

You can choose to run your application in Omnitep Cloud (we host) or choose a self-hosted route (you host). We offer several hosting plans to match the required application throughput, capacity, and usage.

Hosting your application in Omnitep Cloud takes out the complexity of managing the entire DevOps cycle as well as provides simplified tools to scale up your application using visual CI/CD interface, thus transforming your team's productivity, and making your path from coding to deployment as smooth, intuitive, and streamlined as never before.

08. Can I deploy Omnitep on-premises?

Yes. If you have more stringent data requirements, you can deploy Omnitep Runtime on-premises or in your own VPC. You can use Omnitep Runtime even in air-gapped networks as it doesn't require any external data connectivity.

09. What Industry Solutions can be built on Omnitep?

Omnitep is a full featured, versatile, and cross-platform development ecosystem. The software solutions built on the Platform have no limitations in terms of their diverse purposes and potential use cases.

The solutions range from a simple expense or a time tracking application to a comprehensive enterprise grade SaaS-based ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) or an MES (Manufacturing Execution System) systems.

Regardless of the industry or the field, if your application has most of the following requirements, then Omnitep will likely be the right fit for you:

Performance & Scalability:

The software should be able to handle increasing amounts of work in a graceful manner. This is especially important for large organizations that may have thousands of users and massive amounts of data.

Security:

Enterprises require robust security features to protect sensitive business information. This includes measures like data encryption, user access controls, intrusion detection, and compliance with security standards like GDPR or HIPAA.

Integration:

The software should easily integrate with other systems the enterprise is using, such as CRM, ERP, or MES systems. This can include API access or other methods of integration.

Customizability:

Enterprise customers often have unique needs, so they require software that can be customized to meet those needs. This can include everything from custom workflows to bespoke reports.
