The Power of Coding in a Low‑Code Solution
Visual LANSA Features
Flexible IDE
With the ability to code both client-side and server-side apps from inside the IDE, LANSA’s hybrid low-code approach is the most versatile method for developing apps. Stay inside the IDE to create your entire application and easily migrate existing applications written in other languages using our bridge capabilities. With all the development tools conveniently located inside one IDE, you won’t need to create workarounds in other languages typically seen in other low-code platforms.
Active Repository Engine
Visual LANSA’s repository houses all the components essential to your app development. Define business rules in one location and apply them to every Visual LANSA app. Modules and components you can use and reuse to reduce development time and increase your developers’ efficiency.
Deploy Anywhere
Visual LANSA truly lets you deploy anywhere: IBM i, Windows, the Cloud, and Linux. Other low-code platforms limit your deployment options but Visual LANSA enables businesses to deploy where it makes the most sense for them. With the ability to deploy anywhere, future proofing your development tool has never been easier.
Versatile Integration
While APIs are the proven method of modern integration, sometimes you need to integrate with legacy systems that lack APIs. With Visual LANSA, and the ability to code directly inside the IDE, the bar for low-code integration is brought to a new height. The hybrid low-code approach of Visual LANSA means you can integrate with anything and everything without creating time consuming work arounds.
Become Full-Stack Developers
When you develop web apps in Visual LANSA, you create the entire application in our IDE, using the same development approach as any Visual LANSA application. Your developers no longer need to learn several web development languages, you won’t need front-end and back-end developers. Every developer can create the entire web application from start to finish when developing in Visual LANSA.
Visual LANSA Features
Single codebase orchestrates your entire application from the front- to back-end eliminating the need for multi-stack developers that make applications expensive to develop and maintain.
One repository houses all elements essential for your application. Users define business rules in one location and apply them to all your application modules and components to radically increase efficiency and flexibility.
Easy to use IDE allows developers to quickly jump from a visual “drag and drop” development to scripting for maximum productivity. The LANSA Studio is loved by both novice and experienced developers.
Fast to Build, Easy to Learn, Always tuned for Performance. Low-level code compilation ensures high performance on multiple hosted platforms, including IBM i, Windows, and various cloud solutions. LANSA performs like a native application leveraging deeper OS integration vs other Low Code solutions.

Cross-Platform Deployment
Integrated responsive design enables deployment on multiple devices from Desktop to Mobile without changes to your code.
Write Once, Run Anywhere
Flexibility with cloud or on-premises deployment options to IBM i, Windows, Linux Native.
Data Services Independence
Powerful abstraction layer isolates developers from database intricacies and standardizes data access across database products (Database Management Management Systems (DBMS) agnostic).

Build Anything, Fast.
