USoft versus Thinkwise
There are many low-code platforms on the market today. It's important to know that each platform has its own philosophy and development methodology. This is what you should pay attention to if you want to know which platform best meets your requirements and preferences.
Most low-code platforms are suitable for developing small to medium-sized apps. Both USoft and Thinkwise focus entirely on large and complex core applications, also known as systems of record. Think of the complete replacement of outdated ERP, WMS, or MES systems.
In our view, a complete replacement of an outdated system is certainly not necessary in all cases. You can build add-ons on an existing system that give you the agility you need. Developing such a flexible extension with the USoft platform is a very cost-effective solution, without requiring a large investment.
Unlike most low-code and no-code platforms, neither USoft nor Thinkwise is suitable for citizen developers. Experienced software developers, with knowledge of SQL and data modeling, can start working with these platforms after training.
Characteristic differences
It's important to stress that the philosophy behind the two platforms is fundamentally different.
With Thinkwise, processes are central, and you model these via a graphical interface in the so-called Software Factory of the development platform.
What sets us apart is our business rules and rules engine base approach. With USoft, you make a clear distinction between your business rules and processes, and the application(s) that execute these. Delivering solutions with umatched stability and business fit.
- Guarantee a 100% business focus.
- Experience a superior stability through single point of definition.
- Proven to be able to handle the most unique & complex environments.
Processes focus on how you do things and are sequence oriented, while business rules focus on what you do and are conditions & criteria oriented. Therefore, business rules are much more stable and unambiguous compared to processes. This gives you maximum control over decisions in your organization. Even when processes change and your business evolves, your software remains intact.

FAQ
Over the past 30 years, USoft has gained extensive experience in reusing applications built with outdated languages such as AS/400-RPG, Cobol, and Uniface. The technique USoft deploys is specifically aimed at unraveling existing code and helps organizations retrieve lots of details from legacy systems. The knowledge retrieved is then easily captured in a new solution via low-code. An example is Intergamma, where we have migrated outdated AS/400 Cobol applications to the new ERP system.
It is the only platform that uses business rules. This ensures that the solution you develop is a digital twin of your business processes.
