How to Accelerate Enterprise Web Application Development: Modular Solutions vs. Development from Scratch

BM4A has introduced Enterprise QuickStart (EQS), a modular solution that drastically lowers the time and cost of corporate web application development. Unlike traditional development from scratch, which can take months, the BM4A team uses the austere EQS system and further tune it per company's unique requirements, reducing the process to just 1-2 weeks.

Corporate web applications play a key role in improving KPIs of any business. They help automate daily processes, refine cross-divisional communication, and provide adequate management.

However, traditional web application development from scratch can take months and require substantial resource investment.

In response, companies are increasingly seeking faster and more affordable approaches, one of which is BM4A Enterprise QuickStart (EQS) - a modular solution that notably reduces development time and costs. More about EQS - https://bm4a.com/products/enterprise-quickstart-bm4a-eqs/

Development from Scratch: Full Control, but at a High Price

Classic web development involves a series of laborious stages, such as designing, making decisions, implementing basic features (like login, security, user management, menus, and dashboards), testing, and deploying the application.

While these foundational elements are a must to get started, they don't directly address the specific business needs. Instead, they simply serve as a prerequisite for building the actual solutions that will automate or resolve particular issues.

This way, although this approach gives full control over every part of the application, the complexity and effort involved often lead to extended timelines, typically ranging from 16 to 25 weeks, higher development costs, unexpected delays, and a greater risk of project changes.

BM4A Enterprise QuickStart (EQS): The Modular Advantage

BM4A offers a more rational solution to software development. The company already has in stock a pre-built Enterprise QuickStart that incorporates all the basic features a web application must have to function:

Authentication/Authorization
CRUD Editor
Dashboards
Document Generator
File Manager
Menu
Query Tool
Common UI
and others (https://bm4a.com/modules/).

Then, based on this simple product, BM4A builds unique functions above necessary for a specific enterprise to solve its problems.

Thus, the modular approach lets businesses skip the long-lasting process of building basic components and instead focus straight away on developing exclusive features according to specific corporation demands.

In other words, BM4A blends the advantages of ready-made market applications that are available for immediate use but offer limited customization, with traditional development that delivers a fully unique product but at a higher price and with longer timelines.

Key Benefits of BM4A EQS

BM4A EQS is not an enterprise application platform but an open ecosystem that is not dependent on platform performance and availability. It has no integration limitations with other systems and does not face scalability and customization issues.

- Time Savings: Development timelines are reduced from several weeks to several days.
- Pre-built Infrastructure: Proven technologies and pre-built templates significantly speed up processes, from UX/UI design to application deployment.
- Reduced Testing: Built-in modules are already tested and ready for use, which reduces the need for additional testing stages.
- Pliability: Despite the ready-made architecture, BM4A can be adjusted to fit a company's conditions and avoid unnecessary features often found in standard solutions.

BM4A EQS isn't just another application platform. It's more a set of pre-built modules that establish the structure of your Spring Boot app and allow you to almost immediately start developing business functionality.

Comparative analysis

Classic development of a basic/first working version of a web application can take 16-25 weeks, whereas with BM4A EQS this process is reduced to 7 days - 2.5 weeks (https://bm4a.com/blog/modular-vs-scratch-enterprise-application/).

Conclusion

For companies that want to speed up the development of their corporate web applications (https://bm4a.com/products/), BM4A Enterprise QuickStart offers a faster, more adjustable, and affordable alternative to the traditional approach.

With the regular method, companies spend months building everything from scratch, which takes a lot of time and raises expenses.

With BM4A EQS, almost all fundamental features are already built-in. This way, instead of losing time on creating basic functionality, you can take austere software and request customization as you see fit and get a product to market much faster.
