Build Once. Deploy Everywhere.
Using Volt Iris, you can deploy everywhere in a fraction of the time — at any scale and complexity — from native mobile to progressive web apps (PWAs) to conversational apps, wearables, kiosks, and more. Your internal development teams don’t have to become experts on iOS, Android, or any available specific platform or operating system. Using a single code base, they can build amazing apps and experiences with no limits on user experience.
Native Mobile Apps
You get rich native device functionality and performance, and a single code base for both Android and iOS.
- User experience is critical
- Performance
- Scalable and Stable
- Support all device features
- Platform specific
Many of our competitors can do PWAs and web apps but not all of them can do all three – PWAs, web apps, and native mobile. Also, with other solutions, you often need to bring in another toolset to create rich app capabilities such as AR. But with Volt Iris IDE and the HCL Volt MX platform, you can create rich experiences across all these touch points.
- Faster deployments
- Works on all devices
- Immediate updates
- Native look and feel
- Indexable by search engines
Unlike with competitors, you don't need to be an expert on the data source you are using. Data is very easy to manipulate, filter and re-format on the fly to meet the needs of the app. You don't need to add or buy another integration layer, thereby reducing complexity and cost. You also don't have to purchase a separate SMS service for push notifications — you can do push, SMS, and email notifications in the platform at scale.
- Secure
- Optimize front-end services
- Handle any identity service
- Handle any integration type
- Workflow and rule integration
Cross Platform
With HCL Volt MX, you get the strengths of native and PWAs and strong integrations that provides a complete platform with a single code base for you app. Scripting and automated testing, plus DevOps are all embedded. HCL Volt MX helps organizations build apps quickly with low-code and simplify their component and API management.
- Single code-base
- Generate native and PWAs
- Embedded security
- Developer productivity & ROI
- No compromises
Integrations Without Limits.
The HCL Volt MX platform removes backend complexity and easily unlocks existing data and business processes, helping developers connect diverse systems and data sets easily and efficiently — reducing time to market by more than 60%.
Our set of enterprise backend services powers your client apps and integrates with any backend data, application or systems. You can visually map your app to backend APIs, databases and middleware, use pre-built or custom connectors, and easily orchestrate integrations across multiple systems. This means your developers and designers can build great-looking, robust and complex apps quickly, letting IT management focus on digital transformation and the future of the business. If you are using our Volt Foundry SDK with a React toolkit, or our Volt Iris IDE and Foundry, you get the same reduced development time advantages.
Innovative Interactions. Meaningful Engagement.
In a highly competitive digital landscape, you need to captivate users and stay ahead by incorporating advanced technologies that drive adoption, engagement, and retention. With HCL Volt MX, you can engage your users in new ways with virtual reality, augmented reality, and voice chat, and add your choice of virtual elements, artificial intelligence, and natural language-processing engines with ease. And all of these experiences can be connected and interact with backend services, data, apps, and systems. You can visually map your app to backend APIs, databases and middleware, use pre-built or custom connectors, and easily orchestrate integrations across systems.
