Idera, Inc. Acquires LANSA, Adds Low-Code App Development Platform to Growing Product Portfolio
New capabilities will enable developers to build and deliver high-quality applications exceptionally fast
HOUSTON –December 18, 2018 – Idera, Inc., parent company of global B2B software productivity brands, today announced the acquisition of LANSA, a low-code, rapid application development platform for professional mobile, web, desktop and cloud developers. LANSA will join Idera's Developer Tools Business, which also includes Embarcadero, Froala, Sencha, Assembla and Whole Tomato.
The number of mobile devices, form factors, browsers, server platforms
and operating systems that IT organizations must support continues to
accelerate, making it increasingly difficult to find full-stack
developers skilled in both client-side and server-side development.
LANSA’s low-code development platform provides a robust combination of
front-end and back-end capabilities with streamlined cloud deployment
that differentiate it from competitors.
LANSA’s flagship offering, Visual LANSA, is particularly easy to learn
and understand, making onboarding new developers fast and efficient.
Visual LANSA provides a single-language IDE that enables developers to
automate mundane, repetitive steps; define and encapsulate business
logic separate from technical implementation details; manage reusable
components in a platform-independent repository; and improve the speed
and quality of requirements-gathering through visual prototyping. As a
result, developers report up to 80 percent reduction in application
maintenance effort and costs, compared to leading competitors. Idera
strongly supports LANSA’s focus on delivering tools that are easy to use
and reduce application lifecycle cost.
Visual LANSA and other LANSA products are recognized premier solutions
for integration, IBM i modernization and Product Information Management.
"LANSA is an exciting addition to our developer tools portfolio and will
be Idera Inc.’s premier low-code brand, enabling developers to build and
deliver high-quality web, mobile and desktop applications exceptionally
fast,” said Atanas Popov, general manager of Idera’s Developer Tools
Business Unit. “LANSA also expands our bench of highly skilled staff in
multiple international markets, including North America, EMEA and APAC.
I look forward to welcoming them to our team."
More than 8,000 organizations in 65 countries use LANSA’s platform to
develop, maintain and integrate their business applications, ensuring a
consistent look and feel with minimal coding. Customers include JPMorgan
Chase, Kawasaki, TruGreen, Vistar and Walt Disney, among others.
"Idera is accumulating one of the most impressive collections of
developer tools in the industry,” said Pete Draney, CEO of LANSA. “When
I looked for a partner, Idera’s commitment to software that is easy to
use and delivers customer value faster than the competition made the
choice easy. I’m excited to work closely with Idera’s leadership team to
build on this momentum, and ensure LANSA’s continued success."
Draney will continue with Idera in a senior leadership position to
assist in building a successful growth strategy.
