<p><a href="http://www.rollbase.com">Rollbase</a> will tomorrow officially launch its do-it-yourself, on-demand application development and delivery platform offering Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) for users who aren’t programming experts. </p>
<p>Rollbase can be used to design, develop and deploy custom Web-based applications using intuitive and interactive tools within a web browser. It&#8217;s pitched as providing &#8220;an easy to learn and flexible toolset in a rich AJAX-based user experience&#8221; making &#8220;web-based application development possible for people who may not have the time, resources or expertise to create on-demand applications using traditional software development methods.&#8221;</p>
<p>In laymen&#8217;s terms: it allows the rest of us to design and customize business applications.</p>
<p>Rollbase components include</p>
<ul>
<li>wizards for creating database tables, fields, relationships and other application components</li>
<li>interactive drag and drop page editor with ability to embed any HTML, scripts or widgets</li>
<li>portal technology for building sophisticated external-facing applications that can be embedded in other Web sites and Web-based applications</li>
<li>workflow engine with automation, trigger conditions and event queue management</li>
<li>search engine with global full text search and field-specific indexing control</li>
<li>Conversion maps for seamless integration between and among all Rollbase applications</li>
<li>Custom ad-hoc reporting, 2D and 3D animated real-time charting</li>
</ul>
<p>Rollbase operates in the same space <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/09/13/salesforce-enters-custom-application-market-with-forcecom/">as Force.com</a>, but Rollbase notes that it’s designed for business users that don’t have access to programmers or developers.</p>
