Digital Transformation rewrites business models by making them more flexible and responsive to organisations’ evolving customer, supplier and partner landscapes. A digital transformation strategy assembles and co-ordinates the critical components of your business, enabling process and workforce agility in the face of constant market change.

Not so long ago, the world of business software was dominated by Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM). Questions such as “What is a BPMN engine?” entered the equation, naturally, but inevitably in the context of the two powerhouse domains. Long-term business logic was embedded at the heart of day-to-day operations to maximise the efficiency of repeatable tasks.

Planet Crust designed Corteza open-source low-code development platform with the digital realities faced by organisations in mind. From government digitalisation to the transformation of older, larger businesses, we’ve thought this one through.

No doubt being the leading open-source Salesforce alternative has helped Corteza. However, we built a CRM Suite entirely on Corteza. Additionally, we can say the same about the Case Management Solution and the upcoming Education Cloud for schools and Insurance Claims Management software.

This ability to deliver multiple enterprise-grade solutions from one platform highlights a point. Whether you’re looking to build telco asset management software, a public sector cloud, energy industry solutions such as gas marketing software or a smart cities plan, Corteza will have value.

The Corteza open-source low-code platform allows your organisation to build and host unlimited Low-Code applications, extending your business capacity and customer reach. With WCAG compliant accessibility standards to come, Crorteza will allow you to incorporate inclusive design in every application you deliver easily.

Via “Corredor”, Corteza’s automation service, open-source bpm is easy. The Corredor also interacts seamlessly with the Corteza Rest API, facilitating exchange with third-party systems.

And what if your organisation or business has many legacy systems? Corteza comes with an excellent suite of data importation tools. These include a universal import feature for older, less compatible systems, native JSON and .csv support, data model mapping features and more.

However, what stands out above all for Corteza is the flexibility of the application build process. The speed and ease with which your organisation can replicate existing records-based management systems are unparalleled. Building systems off original designs is also an unmatched user experience.
