Use Cases

Designed as a general purpose tool, Volcano is useful for a wide range of project types - big and small. When used in conjunction with other technologies and services, Volcano can be used to build highly complex systems. With Volcano, the team at NZ Media can develop software solutions to meet a wide range of business requirements.

Business Process Automation

From downloading and processing data to generating reports and scheduling email blasts, automating business processes can save time and money within your organization. For most cases, automation results in direct labor savings which can be calculated.

Custom Web Applications

Web-apps, especially those for internal company use, can boost productivity, enable efficient information exchange and storage, offer management better oversight, and unlock growth potential within organizations.

SAAS

Software-as-a-service products can transform the value that an organization can offer their client - in any industry. Volcano can integrate with many services including payment processing, realtime data, storage, AI, cloud, and API functionality. The team at NZ Media has experience in building SAAS solutions.

Websites

Volcano can be used to serve feature rich websites to the public. Although static pages do not typically require a sophisticated back-end, Volcano can be used to host anything from headless server apps through to web-apps.

By NZ Media for NZ Media

Volcano was designed in-house to achieve greater productivity when building with web technologies. With years of experience writing code and developing systems, we set out to build a tool suite that does the heavy lifting for us. With Volcano Studio, we are able to write all of our application code, define data storage structures, build out the front-end UI, and configure application settings, all in one place. Once a system is built, Volcano Studio encodes the system into a single file which can be used in the Volcano EE. Provisioning and instance of a system can be as simple as uploading the new system file and running the EE. Volcano EE manages many time consuming tasks, most notably database configuration. The EE generates and implements a database schema automatically based on the data structures programmed in Volcano Studio. This type of effort reducing automation is why we created Volcano and is why we are proud to share it publicly.
