<h2>Before we jump to the concerns let's understand what ARAD gives you as output.</h2> <p> <br /> ARAD produces and provides you with custom OSGi modules for extending Liferay. Developers can download the source code of generated OSGi modules and add them in Liferay workspace of the project using Liferay Developer's Studio. These OSGi modules are generated for web, service and API that includes pre-implemented services, forms, APIs, validation, bulk uploading and downloading, one-many &amp; many-many relationship and other features which are commonly required to implement a complete application module.</p> <p>To understand more about about ARAD Studio you may visit <a href="https://arad-studio.com">https://arad-studio.com</a></p> <h2>When we talk about OSGi module, general opinions point towards the concern that OSGi modules are being discouraged by Liferay due to drawbacks like <strong>Specialized Resources, Increased Development Time, Higher Risk of Breaking Changes, Deployment Restrictions.</strong></h2> <p> <br /> However, to be more precise before we tag these opinions as the highest level of concern it would be worth noting the statement by Liferay which says: “<em>Traditionally, extending Liferay required creating and deploying custom OSGi modules.<strong> </strong>These modules are written in Java and can interact with Liferay’s core services.<strong> While this method provides a powerful and comprehensive way to extend Liferay’s functionalities</strong>, it has notable drawbacks</em>”<br /> <br /> With the above italicized statement you can rest assured that <u>OSGi method is still Powerful and Comprehensive way to extend Liferay</u>.<br /> <br /> Now, as far as above mentioned drawbacks are concerned, these drawbacks are valid when custom modules are coded manually by developers without following the guidelines and standards of Liferay. These concerns were precisely the reasons that inspired us to build the tool like ARAD Studio 8 years ago to resolve these drawbacks as below:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Specialized Resources</strong>: OSGi modules require developers with Liferay expertise to build them safely and properly, which limits the pool of developer resources. But ARAD users don’t need to bother for Liferay expertise as it provides Low-Code mechanism to build OSGi modules without writing a single line of code. It not only generates secure codes for services but also generates the codes for front end UI and their templates from a single place. Resource from non-development background can also generate and update OSGi modules with the help of ARAD Studio.<br />  </li> <li> <strong>Increased Development Time</strong>: Since there is no need to write java code to develop OSGi modules, it is much faster than developing application using Liferay Object, Collection and Client Extensions. ARAD generates all in a single step.<br />  </li> <li> <strong>Higher Risk of Breaking Changes</strong>: Since ARAD generates all OSGi modules through automation, it also migrates its modules to upgraded version of Liferay APIs. ARAD team keeps monitoring all breaking changes with new upgrades of Liferay and upgrades ARAD client for the new versions. All modules generated with ARAD Studio can be migrated to new version with the single click of Generate button.<br />  </li> <li> <strong>Deployment Restrictions</strong>: ARAD Modules can be used with Liferay PaaS and Liferay self-hosted deployment as there is no provision of deploying custom OSGi modules in Liferay SaaS deployments.</li> </ul> <h3> <br /> Why should you use ARAD Studio?</h3> <p>You should use ARAD Studio if you are using Liferay as your unified platform for multiple solutions. If you are not using Liferay, you can start anytime with free trial. Benefits that you will appreciate after using ARAD is the &quot;Benefit of Speed&quot; in developing following capbilities which requires lot of time in development.</p> <ol> <li> <strong>Widgets for basic data analytics</strong> for dashboard like trend chart, calculation chart and category wise count chart generated automatcally with every module.</li> <li>In most of the applications, <strong>bulk uploading</strong> is a common requirement but for uploading data as Liferay Objects Liferay expertise would be required to develop client extensions for each object. Services and UI for bulk uploading of data for ARAD generated modules can be used for all modules as OOTB capability.</li> <li> <strong>Mobile app</strong> for content management is not an OOTB capability of Liferay. With ARAD Studio you can generate mobile widgets for all modules that you generate for web portal.</li> <li>Input Forms - ARAD generates javascript based <strong>Backbone forms which can be reused</strong> in any other application / platform using client side javascript. It is not possible to host Liferay forms on other applications due to tight coupling of Liferay forms with Liferay APIs.</li> <li> <strong>Single Step Development</strong> - When you use ARAD you don't need to go to multiple places for creating Object, Collection, Client Extensions etc. All integrated OSGi modules including mobile app are generated from one single interface where you add a new microservice in your application. Private pages for managing content is also created having generated widget added to it. You </li> <li> <strong>Gen AI Capability</strong> - ARAD Studio is pre-integrated with Open AI for generating data models for your requirement. You can modify data models after they are generated with the help of Open AI. It saves a significant amount of time that goes in defining fields and their input types for each data model when you do it manually.</li> </ol>

<p id="ember684">In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, enterprise-level companies are under increasing pressure to deliver software solutions faster, adapt to market changes, and innovate continuously. Yet, balancing the need for speed with enterprise-grade security, scalability, and compliance remains challenging. Low-code platforms offer a potential answer, empowering enterprises to build applications faster while involving non-developers in the process. But with a vast array of platforms available, choosing the right one can be daunting.</p> <p id="ember685">This guide is tailored for large enterprises still grappling with the decision of selecting the ideal low-code platform, covering key factors that can help you make a strategic choice. As AI has been playing more like a buzz word role these days many platforms are also pitching AI based capabilities in their platform.</p> <p id="ember686">Therefore, to do a holistic comparison with respect to an overall boost in the efficiency of enterprise application development practice with the use of a low-code platform and choose the ideal one for your organization, it is essential to plan for a one-day workshop for a POC with all available platform owners or partners rather than viewing just a demo.</p> <p id="ember687">Here are some tips that will help define the scope of a POC for doing a fact check of the low-code platforms and measurable KPIs in developing an enterprise web application.</p> <p id="ember688"> <strong>How to define the functional scope for the POC?</strong></p> <p id="ember689">To prepare the functional scope for the POC every organization might need to define its requirements as per daily operational challenges and Include features that take considerable time &amp; effort in the application development lifecycle.</p> <p id="ember690">Followings are some indicative pointers that covers majority of tasks developers need to do in every application.</p> <ol> <li>Include the requirement for development of relational Web Forms to be used by department users e.g. Invoice creation form with a feature to add multiple line items in the invoice.</li> <li>Include the requirements of some related features as suggested below. <ol> <li>Input field validations.</li> <li>One or two step approval workflows.</li> <li>Email notification.</li> <li>Keyword search response.</li> <li>API development to add, find, update and delete a record.</li> <li>Dashboard (Basic Charts)</li> <li>Audit trail of user activities</li> <li>Department management by Admin user.</li> <li>Department wise user management by admin user.</li> <li>Master data management by department / admin user.</li> <li>Localization capability.</li> <li>Encryption of sensitive data in the database.</li> </ol> </li> <li>Include requirement that demands creation of separate tables in the database.</li> <li>Include features that require role based access control.</li> <li>Include requirement of multiple departments using the same application in isolated manner.</li> <li>Include requirement that ensures basic features like updating and soft deletion of entries.</li> <li>Include the feature for bulk uploading that ensures easy migration of existing data.</li> <li>Include feature that requires integration with external system. Make sure that access to working APIs required for integration is provided to the developers at the time of POC.</li> <li>Include few pages showing form data to be made available as public page that does not require login. Let the UI decide by the participants.</li> <li>Define the weightage of each piece of requirement based on the complexity and time taken by the developers in your current practice.</li> <li>Define some changes in the given requirement after completion of the original scope e.g. add new fields in the form, change validation rules etc.</li> <li>Decide total time to be allowed for doing the POC (In Hrs.)</li> <li>Decide a venue for the POC where computers with necessary access rights can be provided to the participants.</li> <li>Legacy data for migration, at least 10000 records.</li> </ol> <h2>Measurable KPIs</h2> <ol> <li>Actual time taken in completion of the POC (In Hrs.)</li> <li>Percentage of accomplishment in provided timeline based on the defined weightage.</li> <li>Size of code files (HTML, CSS, JS, JAVA, PHP etc.) written and deployed manually from outside the platform.</li> <li>Time taken in implementing the change and deployment at the server.</li> <li>Activities performed by the participant for making those changes.</li> <li>Changes done from within the platform.</li> <li>Changes done outside the platform and deployment process of these changes.</li> <li>Number of technical people worked for the POC.</li> <li>Value added features developed in addition to the given scope of the POC.</li> <li>Time taken in uploading 10000 records using csv or excel file (for quick performance testing).</li> <li>Do a quick load testing and VAPT to ensure security and performance compliance.</li> <li>Number of critical Issues reported in VAPT.</li> <li>Ability of developers to change the UI using platform’s interface.</li> <li>Ability of developers to download, understand and make changes in the code if platform is not supporting certain features. It is well understood that no platform contains all capabilities to fulfill 100% of the requirement without customization.</li> <li>Ability of developers to easily understand and use the APIs developed in the POC from an external system or mobile app.</li> <li>No. of days needed for new developers to start using the platform and stack of tools that developers need to learn before being productive.</li> <li>Ability of BI team to be able to easily understand the data and build intelligence dashboard.</li> <li>TCO - Total cost of ownership over next 3-5 years that includes hosting cost, user license cot, product license cost etc.</li> </ol> <p id="ember725">It might be looking extensive and too many stuffs for the one-day workshop, but with the help of low-code platform these activities are possible in just one day workshop.</p> <p id="ember726">Please feel free to learn more from our team of experts and choose a right one for you.</p>
