Introducing HCL Leap (previously known as Forms Experience Builder)

We are excited to share with you that HCL Leap v9.0 was announced for general availability on July 11th, 2018. Leap, formerly known as Forms Experience Builder, was acquired from IBM in December of 2017 and has now been released as an HCL product with new features and functionality and with the new brand identity of HCL Leap (standing for Lightweight Enterprise Apps).

The product name change reflects the aggressive roadmap we have put in place and expands the product scope beyond forms and into the low-code/no-code space. Leap is a word that reflects our vision for the product: moving quickly forward! We are extending product capability to continually address customer pain points and provide the market with the best solution for quickly and easily managing data capture and process automation through web apps.
 
HCL Leap lets non-technical users (and technical too!) easily create sophisticated web applications to replace inefficient and outdated processes and better engage customers. Applications are designed without writing code through a simple drag and drop interface. HCL Leap automatically creates a runtime application from your visual design which includes forms, views, charts, an underlying database, and a default level of workflow and security.
HCL Leap allows organizations to digitally transform their business processes and achieve greater efficiency through a variety of product capabilities, including:

• Low code / no code development to quickly and easily create customer engagement apps
• Workflow with role-based access control and notifications
• Simplified data access and integration to other tools and systems through REST APIs
• Engaging method of collecting – and quickly responding – to feedback
• Unified, consistent way for customers to interact and share

With the new version of HCL Leap, we are offering simplified new licensing for customers, allowing them to easily scale their product usage based on business requirements. Also available is a brand new Digital Transformation QuickStart, which combines services from our technical experts with HCL Leap software to help customers quickly get up and running with a pilot application and achieve immediate business value.
 
We are investing heavily in HCL Leap to bring you innovation and exciting new offerings. Please connect with us to share how you are currently using the product, your feedback on our roadmap, and how we can help you get the most value out of your investment. If you are new to HCL Leap – we can help you get started transforming your business today!
