Lianja App Builder™

The Lianja App Builder helps you solve specific business needs by enabling you to quickly create professional-quality business applications regardless of your development skills on Windows, Linux and Mac then deploy them on desktop, web and mobile devices.

For non-programmers, Lianja App Builder provides an easy-to-understand development methodology that will enable them to produce quality business applications without the need to write any programming code at all.

For the professional software developer, Lianja App Builder is a flexible cross-platform development tool that supports multiple programming languages.

Lianja Hosted Cloud™

The Lianja Hosted Cloud is currently under development and is not yet publicly available. When the beta is available we will notify a selection of beta testers and provide them with a membership subscription so that they can experience Lianja Hosted Cloud Apps first hand.

The Lianja App Center is the focal point for accessing Lianja Hosted Cloud Apps securely over the Internet. Lianja Hosted Cloud Apps are paid for on a monthly or annual subscription basis. Compared to traditional "on-premise" systems, with their associated high capital, renewal and ongoing IT management costs, hosted Lianja Cloud Apps are much cheaper in both the short and longer term. Using the Lianja App Builder you can develop and test custom Apps offline, then publish them into the Lianja Hosted Cloud sharing your Apps and their associated data securely with others in your company, business or Team.

The Lianja Hosted Cloud will handle all membership subscriptions and a revenue sharing scheme will provide ISVs with a percentage of the revenue gained from the monthly subscriptions of Lianja Apps that they have developed. Further details on this will be published as we get closer to final release.
