With Estel Tech Anywhere, we're dedicated to bringing our users a single, comprehensive environment that enables them to rapidly prototype, develop, and deploy enterprise-level, cross platform mobile web business apps. Through Estel Tech Anywhere's unique low-code architecture and collection of cross platform mobile development tools, developers are able to build out features and functionality for their apps in a fraction of the time it would take to accomplish with other mobile web development platforms, accelerating the delivery of those apps and saving time and resources. The introduction of seamless, one-click Adobe PhoneGap Build integration directly into the Estel Tech Anywhere development environment gives a wide range of developers – even those without prior PhoneGap knowledge – a simple and fast way to make cross-platform hybrid HTML5 business applications a reality for their business. And, our integration with PhoneGap is growing more robust daily as we add new plugins that make it even easier to take advantage of native mobile device functionality.

The Estel Tech platform is the only unified mobile and web app development and deployment environment with distinct “no-code” and “low-code” components. Using the Estel Tech Transform no-code product, business users and developers can take full advantage of all the capabilities of the smartphone to turn any form into a mobile app in minutes, and power users can add advanced app functionality with Estel Tech Transform's built-in programming language. IT developers can use the Estel Tech Anywhere low-code environment to develop complex web or mobile business apps from scratch, integrate data with existing systems of record and workflows (including data collected via Estel Tech Transform), and add additional security or authentication requirements to protect corporate data.
