USAID picks Pn Automation' Rapid App Development (RAD) Platform, MUIC, to develop their mobile apps.

On December 2019, Pn Automation received a contract award from USAID to procure multi-user license of our Rapid App Development (RAD) COTS platform “Mobile UI Center (MUIC)”. On behalf of our entire team, we thank USAID for their trust in our team and technology. USAID will be using our RAD platform to build internal as well as external mobile applications.

Pn Automation’s Rapid App Development (RAD) COTS platform “Mobile UI Center (MUIC)” is a Software as a Service (S-a-a-S) platform that allows the users to rapidly develop high performing “No Code” native mobile applications to work on Android and IOS platforms without having to write a single line of code.

MUIC gives the user more power through "what you see is what you get" (WYSIWYG) interface without complex editors and app development skills. MUIC is as simple as working Microsoft Word or a Google Doc but it can build complex apps that interact with API Gateways, AWS and/or Azure based endpoints, RESTful Web Services, databases or simple JSON or XML based interfaces. Additionally, MUIC allows users to incorporate complex forms in the apps to collect custom information using the mobile devices.

MUIC allows agencies to implement features at a faster but gradual pace. We use pre-built custom components to build applications thus saves time and provides benefits for agencies of all sizes. Agency’s users can build an app at a click of a button and few drag-n-drop operations in 3 easy steps:

1. STEP# 1: Select Designs: Predefined or custom-built themes to align with customer’s style guide
2. STEP# 2: Add Features (Drawer Menus, Pages, Forms, Backgrounds, Videos, Lists and details etc.…)
3. STEP# 3: Publish your app (via DevOps and/or DevSecOps)

Benefits of our RAD:

1. No-code mobile application development.
2. Reduces demand on technical resources.
3. Supports DevOps best practices.
4. Multi platform (iOS and Android).
5. Reduces mobile app development cost.
6. Expedite time to market.
7. Automated Continuous Integration (CI)/ Continuous Deployment (CD).

User Interface/User Experience (UI/UX) Benefits:

1. Custom onboarding process utilizing organizational specific menu layouts, backgrounds, logos, icons and themes.
2. Supports organization specific UI/UX.
3. Real time preview, focus on designing an engaging user experience not coding.
4. Cloning technology, reduce design effort, support organizational look and feel.

Operations Benefits:

1. Cloud based SaaS, flexibly deployed, host on FedRAMP cloud or agency AWS or Azure private cloud.
2. High performing, scalable and redundant.
3. Manage mobile apps software development life cycle (SDLC) from a single interface.
4. Automated deployment to your MDM or App Stores (Google Play or Apple Store) cross pre-prod and prod environments.
5. Central technical support for mobile app software development life cycle (SDLC).

Development + Security + Operations (DevSecOps)

1. Supports DevSecOps best practices.
2. End-to-end automation of mobile app life cycle with integrated NIAP compliant security vetting and scoring.
3. Consistent design, development, security and operational best practices.
4. Single interface for mobile app software development life cycle (SDLC).

To achieve DevSecOps functionality at USAID, we have teamed up with Kryptowire where our RAD platform performs automatic app vetting and security scans using Kryptowire platform as part of our automated deployment process.
