appGenerator - Problem / Solution

The Problem:
Collecting, publishing and managing information can be challenging.
Many people turn to spreadsheets or documents to create lists and store information because they are so easy to create. But just like 'fast food', the benefits of being able to set up a spreadsheet in minutes are eventually outweighed by the problems that arise over time. Common problems include:

spreadsheets can't be used by more than one person at a time ("concurrency")
if you try to share a spreadsheet via email, then you have to worry about who has the most recent copy, and does it contain all changes from all users? ("version control")
there is no record of who did what (no "audit trail")
there is no way to control who views, edits or deletes a specific row or column ("access control")
it is very difficult (or impossible) to re-use lists in different spreadsheets, which results in "redundancy"
once you release a spreadsheet, you have lost control over it (and can't retract it). For instance, see this story: Verizon Wireless accidentally released customer data through a spreadsheet. If they had been using appGenerator to manage that information, they could protect the data with a variety of security measures, and also disable the query (the view of the data) at any time. They would also have a record of who viewed the data and when.

Web applications (databases combined with web interfaces) solve these problems, however, they have historically been very expensive and difficult to create.

The Solution:
The appGenerator™ makes it easy to build web applications, and predict how much they will cost before they are created. The appGenerator automates the process of writing the application interfaces and data structures, freeing up an experienced programmer to focus on more difficult tasks. It also makes it possible for a novice to build a working prototype in just minutes; no programming required.

And on top of all that, you can actually build an application and have 10 records (entries) without having to pay for it. It's our way of letting you evaluate your custom software with zero risk.
