We asked our customers why they chose Coghead as their platform for web application development. We got 10 good reasons, but also discovered there was one additional reason that separates us from the competition. So we present to you, the Top 11 reasons:

1. Business Your Way

   Coghead is the only platform-as-a-service that allows you to easily add custom business logic without any line of code. This let’s you create applications that truly work the way your business or the way your customers’ business works.

2. Rapid Development

   Visual development, using drag-and-drop, makes application development a more efficient activity. You can design prototypes while working directly with your users and clients, eliminating long requirement and modification sessions that traditionally take month to complete. With Coghead, every step of the traditional development cycle such as, requirements definition, development, user review, testing, modifications, and final deployment is dramatically reduced -- from weeks and months; to hours and days.

3. Agile/Customizable

   No application is alike – Coghead customers tell us again and again that they can make application changes in record time, with maximum customizability. Coghead’s unique architecture allows developers to make complex changes to data structures that are difficult, if not impossible in traditional data modeling and development approaches.

4. On Demand

   Delivered as a service, and hosted in a highly secure hosting facility run by Amazon.com, your platform and applications are always available. No servers to maintain, no software to install, no development requirements to set up – all you and your users need is a browser and an Internet connection

5. Easy to Use

   Using, sharing and deploying business applications has never been as easy as with Coghead. A leading Flash based user interface provides a common framework for all applications. Web based sharing and inviting of users makes sharing your business applications and associated data a breeze.

6. Flexible Integration

   No business runs in a vacuum – Coghead’s standards based integration capabilities, such as a REST API, Linked Applications, MS-Word and Excel connectors, and unique Coglets, allows you to leverage existing applications in multiple ways. From dynamic website integration to large scale SAP/ERP integration, Coghead provides the tools to make it happen fast.

7. Strong Partnerships

   Coghead has teamed up with leading technology companies to provide the best solution to our customers. Adobe Flex is the platform of choice to provide unprecedented user interface design, Oracle DB XML is the choice for a next-generation web database, and Amazon.com is providing the hosting Coghead’s infrastructure in its leading edge hosting facilities.

8. Make Money

   Coghead’s partner program has gained tremendous momentum in 2008 – more and more ISVs, IT Consultants and Entrepreneurs are realizing the huge opportunity to develop SaaS applications and generate new revenue streams. With virtually no upfront investment and no capital infrastructure costs Coghead Partners can establish a software-as-a-service application business in a matter of months.

9. Real Applications for Real Business

   Unlike many other online database applications that are used for lightweight sharing of data, Coghead was designed as a robust enterprise class application platform. A robust security model, a scalable workflow and logic infrastructure and proven platform architecture give customers the confidence to run their key business process on Coghead.

10. Affordable With Low Upfront Investment

    Building totally customized applications to run your business has never been more affordable. Coghead’s approach of zero investment, low monthly subscription fee, and rapid customization capabilities give you access to robust business applications without the steep price tag.

11. Exceptional Customer Care

    Lots of our customers and partners chose Coghead as their platform of choice to build their business on, because we care. Especially small and medium sized partners are attracted to Coghead because they have experienced a lack of customer services by other leading platform vendors. We understand that we will only be successful when our partners and their customers are successful. Customer support and enablement is our highest priority.
