In comparison, although the domestic market started late, with the increase of the proportion of Shangyun, the expansion of the SaaS market, and the intergenerational migration of the main staff within the company (from 70-80 to 80-90, Low-code development is a growing and expanding incremental market for the company’s main staff to pay attention to efficiency, and for the increasing labor costs in the future.

ClickPaaS is a low-code development platform product and solution provider in China. Based on hpaPaaS, it helps SaaS companies, consulting companies and enterprise customers to significantly reduce the response time and cost of complex business needs. ClickPaaS was awarded a multi-million dollar Series A financing by Morningside Capital in the first half of 2019.

Technology path brings product advantages: model-driven VS form driver

There are quite a few low-code development platforms on the market, and ClickPaaS founder Huber told us that an important difference is the technology path.

• One is a form-driven model, essentially a SaaS developerWith the creation of multiple forms, supplemented by processes, build patterns that form light applications

• The other is a model-driven approach. The essence is the PaaS platform, which is graphically built through the business model re-modeling layer to form the blueprint-to-system capability to meet the complex business scenario needs of the enterprise.

ClickPaaS adopts the second type, which is model-driven, with high technical threshold. It is similar to Oracle, SAP’s underlying cloud architecture of large enterprise software. The advantage is finer granularity, complexity and flexibility. Higher sex, Salesforce, ServiceNow, etc. are all adopted by this technology path. Huber made an analogy. The form generation mode can be analogized to “wooden printing” and the model-driven mode is “living type printing”.

Based on model-driven technology, ClickPaaS builds a complete low-code development platform consisting of five core modules: Universal PaaS, high-performance PaaS, application creation aPaaS, application integration iPaaS, application template center.

• Universal PaaS, including the lowest-level general-purpose PaaS such as DevOps, container cloud, and microservices, is very mature and can be directly developed based on open source components, but it cannot directly support upper-layer applications.

• High-performance PaaS, through 26 self-developed middleware, solves the high performance, high concurrency and high expansion of platform operation.

• Applications create aPaaS to quickly respond to business changes by building business models and quickly creating applications.

• Applications integrate iPaaS to perform message parsing, data matching, data conversion and data management between applications in a non-coded manner.

• The Application Template Center is an application template that is continuously accumulated during the industry landing process, including self-built and ecological partners. It can be created faster based on direct template adjustment.

Based on the above product architecture, ClickPaaS’s low-code PaaS platform can support a wider range of application development sites.The scene includes: customer experience, digital operation, business core system, enterprise innovation business, on-site service and other industrialization, and the scene of individualized demand is obvious.

Official data shows that the ClickPaaS platform can reduce application creation time by an average of 75%, reduce the integration cycle by an average of 90%, reduce the code risk by 100%, and reduce the ongoing cost of more than 75% of operation and maintenance iterations.

Commercialization: The first batch of large B customers have been accumulated, and it is estimated that this year’s revenue will reach tens of millions of dollars

Commercialization, ClickPaaS currently serves three types of customer scenarios: internal IT requirements, consulting company project implementation, and SaaS enterprise product development iteration.

• For the internal IT needs of the enterprise, ClickPass saves the internal developer cost by improving the efficiency. On the other hand, it helps customers to quickly realize application generation ability from their own business logic, especially the traditional enterprise IT transformation.

• The consulting company’s customers are the channel’s role. ClickPaaS training consulting company uses its low-code development platform, and consulting companies can quickly deliver software development projects.

• For SaaS companies, CLickPass delivers low-code PaaS platforms to customers, training customers to build modules, and addressing the high cost of customization. Due to the high technical threshold, ClickPaaS can grasp the pricing power. The current charging method is the initial consultation, installation and deployment costs of 10 million yuan, followed by millions of yuan of service maintenance fees each year.

Hu Bai told that ClickPaaS started research and development in 2015 and officially sold its products in September 2018. It has already landed in many industries such as energy, government, education, manufacturing, and finance, and has accumulated the first batch of large B customers. Including the domestic market of Kennedy Sa, Baiwang, Ashtron, Nair Printing, Ingram Micro in foreign markets, etc., It is estimated that this year’s revenue can reach tens of millions of dollars.

Talking about the future market expansion of ClickPass and the planning of the product line, Huber told:

• ClickPass currently focuses on large head-offices and SaaS vendors, benchmarking and consolidating revenue. At the same time, ClickPass will work with head IT integrators to form an ISV ecosystem that will scale rapidly with implementers and integrators.

• In the waist market, the BPM form application is well educated.
