2024 in the rearview mirror of Simplicité

2024 was a pivotal year for Simplicité. Year of majority that saw the birth of the 6th major iteration of the platform as well as a brand new graphic identity! Let's take a look back at what marked our year.

The rocket was on the Launchpad. A great start to the year.

‍

Almost 1 year ago, we invited you to our big annual event, the aptly named Club Simplicité. This event was an opportunity for us to meet you again to present our wishes for the year to come, but also an opportunity to reveal our brand new identity to you.

‍

So, Simplicité became... Simplicité! Exit the clouds, make way for the sun and lines of code:

- A design inspired by computer science from the 80s/90s
- A color palette from code editors;
- Geometric compositions inspired by Mondrian;
- A dark mode affirming the technological aspect;

A new identity that aims to reflect our dual nature:

- Advanced technological expertise;
- A strong human dimension;

A year later, we adopted this new identity, which was quickly integrated into our daily lives.

A major v6.0 release

‍
A change of figure that induces many new features, we presented them during our 2024 club. You can find the details in our dedicated articles version 6.0 right here And of the version 6.1 here !

But, as a table is better than a long speech, find all these new features grouped together via new categorization for the occasion: Feature, Enhancement, Maker experience, Maker experience, Technical, Depreciation
‍

‍
It should also be noted that the birth of a new version implies the end of an old one...

‍

... which we can summarize as follows:
- A major version has definitely expired: 4.0 (January 15, 2024) after 3 years of long-term maintenance.
- A major version has entered long-term maintenance for 3 years: v5 (in February = at the release of v6 see above)
- A new major version: v6 (with 2 minor versions: 6.0 in February and 6.1 in July + 6.2 in beta since December)

A growing and committed community

The Simplicité Software community is very dynamic with the active participation of its members. The exchanges are particularly rich, as evidenced by the +744 discussion topics that animate the platform. The commitment is also reflected in the 3,300 messages shared, demonstrating a genuine desire for collaboration and mutual assistance between users. The community continues to grow with the arrival of 45 new members!

‍

And AI in all this?

‍

‍
Of course, it is impossible to take stock of 2024 without talking about AI. We got down to work, but as usual at Simplicité, we wanted to maintain an agonistic vision. Thus, Simplicité is “AI-ready” and can therefore work with several AIs. ChatGPT and Mistral AI are the most used with our platform.

‍
Finally, we focus our developments as follows:

For Developers:
- Optimization of the development process without replacing human expertise;
- Assistance in modeling applications via natural language interaction;
- Automatic generation of functional application models;

For Business Users:
- Fine customization of existing tools;
- Data analysis adapted to specific needs;
- Improved context support;

If you want to know more, we have detailed all this in an article in the magazine Program! , transcribed in blog post here And via a webinar over here.‍

A strong presence in the tech ecosystem

For 18 years, we have been preaching the good word of low-code by participating in numerous events in the French tech ecosystem.

2024 was no exception with more than a dozen major events. Numerous meetings, numerous exchanges, which remind us that the reasons for our creation remain:

“We designed Simplicité because there is a real gap between business expectations and existing solutions on the market. On the one hand, the development of business applications is most often a source of frustration, complexity and, above all, failure. On the other hand, off-the-shelf vertical solutions are never satisfactory when it comes to covering a need that is very specific to the company and which is necessarily strategic for it. We believe that these strategic business challenges must be able to benefit from agile, reliable, scalable and cost-effective IT support, hence the existence of the Simplicité platform.”

To note! 2025 will start under the sign of sovereignty, we look forward to seeing you on January 14 for the event Technological Sovereignty & Strategic Autonomy.

The press is talking about it, and AI is always in the spotlight
