Go generate it
Are you tired of writing user stories for software development? Are you struggling with compliance in your application landscape? Do you want to increase the value of Enterprise Architecture models?
Automatically convert your enterprise models into working software
Automatically Convert Any Cool Idea into an Application! ACACIA allows you to generate software, deployed to a cloud environment, from enterprise models in minutes. Advantages include:
- No more time wasted on the tedious task of writing user stories. Just create models to capture the essence of your business idea.
- No more need for manual compliancy checks. As we generate software from (EA) models, the resulting applications are by definition compliant to the Enterprise Architecture.
- Where most enterprise models are used only once in a presentation and then throw away, we appreciate these models and increase their value by using them as core input for software development.
ACACIA shortens the time from business idea to working software solution.
Key features
- Automatically convert a DEMO model into a Mendix application (based on extensive research)
- Automatically migrate OutSystems applications to Mendix
- Dashboard to see the progress of your conversion jobs
- Automatically deploy the application to a Mendix Free cloud node
- The resulting application can be further enhanced with Mendix Studio
- Optionally you can choose a template for a Mendix version and/or with specific layout and/or modules to start conversion with
- Generate an application using a service account and/or a specific Mendix accounts
- Other model types (BPMN, UML, etc.) will be added in (near) future
No vendor lock-in
ACACIA is a convertor only, with a dashboard to monitor progress. The tool is not required to run the resulting application. You can enhance and maintain the created Mendix application with Mendix Studio.
Note that for the Mendix application to run in production, you will need a Mendix license. If you want to use a modeling tool (see Integration for the tools that we currently support) to easily create the input for the convertor, you must bring your own license for that tool if applicable.
Integrations
ACACIA offers an API to which DEMO models can be sent in JSON format. We currently have an integration with the Simplified Modeling Platform and are working on an integration with the DEMO-4 extension for Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect.
Pricing
Pricing is based upon the number of model conversions (app creations) you want to do. The tiered pricing model accomodates both smaller and larger application landscapes from incidental conversions to multiple per day.
Deployment options
Currently we offer ACACIA as a multi-tenant SaaS solution, to allow easy integration with (online) modeling tools. If you need a dedicated SaaS instance or want to run the application on-premise, or you want to (automatically) deploy the created application to some other (on-premise or cloud) environment, contact us to discuss the possibilities. Also contact us if you would like to purchase a Mendix license through us, or would like us to host the created application(s).
