Citrix is not a direct competitor and we finished ahead of a long list of major traditional software suppliers.

This proves that we provide the best low-code platform for business software that enables companies to innovate faster and more efficiently.”
Virtual blueprint
Thinkwise received this recognition by Computable for its Thinkwise Suite, a low-code software development platform. With this platform the company produces business software, in an innovative manner, which perfectly suits the requirements of an organization and can be flexibly modified at any time. The platform is also used to modernize existing business software. Developing software with Thinkwise is on average eight times faster than with alternative development platforms. It works on the basis of a virtual blueprint, a graphical model that exactly describes how an organization works. The software is generated automatically on the basis of this virtual blueprint, and if a process changes, you only need to adjust the virtual blueprint. In this way, business software does not hinder a company’s growth. By developing with the Thinkwise Suite the software always remains technologically and functionally up-to-date.
