Apeldoorn, 23 June 2022 - For many companies, the digital transformation is one of the greatest challenges of the present. A key role in the transformation processes is, of course, played by powerful and modern software solutions - especially IT core systems, which are particularly crucial for the competitiveness of a company. However, one of the biggest problems here is (excessively) long development times, which are often no longer compatible with the requirements for agility and flexibility. This dilemma can be solved with low-code technology. The medium-sized special machinery manufacturer Kolbus has fundamentally modernised its 30-year-old ERP solution with the powerful low-code development platform of the Dutch software provider Thinkwise. This conversion is one of the largest IT projects in the history of the almost 250-year-old family-owned company.
“Firms that wish to modernize large core systems and take advantage of the adaptability that low-code offers should consider Thinkwise.”
“While Thinkwise can be categorized as low-code, it distinctly offers an alternative to standardized software and traditional development of large systems with many users.”
“The number of hours that was needed with Thinkwise is almost 80% below this market average. In other words, development with similar platforms would probably be almost 5 times more expensive.”

CIOs are leveraging Thinkwise to replace legacy and future-proof their IT landscape with perfect-fit low-code enterprise applications.
Outdated core systems are holding back business. Legacy software is unable to keep up with change, especially in times of disruption. The consequences of this are far-reaching. Your organization's competitiveness might be at risk. Not being able to comply with governance or compliance rules due to outdated software can also have serious implications.
Thinkwise enables architects to design comprehensive core applications that seamlessly integrate with their business processes.
When working with outdated core systems, there comes a point when you will be unable to keep up with the demands of the business. Around 80 percent of a development team's time is spent maintaining legacy ICT. Only 20 percent is left over for much-needed innovation. On top of that, working with outdated systems requires specialized developers who are hard to find.
Developers use Thinkwise to start doing the fun stuff again.
We are not afraid to admit it: Thinkwise is made for professional application developers. The platform supports all aspects of the life-cycle of mission-critical business applications. It just makes the life of developers a lot more fun. By offloading a lot of the repetitive work, testing, and deployment to the platform you are not only much faster but you can now really focus on the fun and challenging bits such as complex calculations, data manipulation, and machine learning.
