No-code and low-code tools support multi-stage forms, configurable templates and approval workflows. OpenAPI-compliant REST APIs are available, while low-code data objects generate REST endpoints.

Hosting uses AWS, with UK clients in the London region and international environments in local regions.

Security coverage includes ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, MFA and role-based access control. The platform supports multilingual, multi-site and document-managed publishing, with WCAG 2.2 AA described by default for Local Gov DXP accelerators.
