RollBase.com - Make Your Own Business Apps

RollBase is a new platform as a service provider (PaaS) which is looking to simplify application creation for businesses. Its web based software is designed for small and medium sized businesses. RollBase provides drag and drop technology so that users can easily pick and choose apps they want to incorporate into their account. Among these, users can choose from a wide variety of categories, for instance, apps for creating an online community, apps designed for managing sales, and there are apps for human resources. Those with a little more tech know how can choose to customize their apps by implementing code; however, Rollbase has been designed to obviate the need for programmers altogether while still providing high quality, sophisticated applications. Rollbase offers both fully featured backed end apps as well as front end applications which can be directly plugged into company websites and intranets. There is a free 60 day trial version available.
