COI Check

I have added the {{COI-check}} template after finding this article inappropriately linked to cloud computing. Given additions like this it seems likely that the primary editor, User:Dbake (whose user page is an old copy of this article), is closely related to the company despite having not disclosed any such connection. This could explain why the article sounds like an advert. -- samj _in^out 15:19, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How to improve this article

Rather than worry about CoI issues, how can this article be improved enough that it actually merits being linked to from other pages?

This article does indeed need NPOV management. How is this platform integrating with new developments in mobile and PC/Mac processors? The most recent modification in 2010 is a wildly bad sign of sleepy and overwhelmed contributor activity, plus creeping self-promo updating.

Some proposed changes

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Please change the lead section to:

Caspio is a privately-held global software technology company headquartered in Santa Clara, California with offices in the Ukraine, Poland and the Philippines. Founded in 2000 by Frank Zamani, Caspio offers non-programmers an all-inclusive platform for building web applications fast, without coding and at a lower cost compared to traditional programming methods.

Reference material supporting this can be found on Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).(http://www.ciol.com/caspio-bridge-database-programmers/). Entitled Caspio Bridge: Database for non-programmers from CIOL, it's dated 10 October 2006.

The reason for the change is due to the existing introduction being rather vague and oversimplified: "Caspio is a global cloud platform for creating custom business applications without coding. Headquartered in Santa Clara, California, USA." Also, it doesn't have any sources to back it up.

Per your suggestion "The reason for the change is due to...it doesn't have any sources to back it up." information in the article which was unreferenced has been removed. References for these claims should come from sources outside of the company. Regards, Spintendo      09:01, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

3rd COI check

Recent edits to company history added puffery. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/BEMMBA

I've re-checked for all puffery and potential COI. Warned the user too. The company is quite notable (like Sun Microsystems for example), the writing needed some major cleanup. I've sent the user a COI warning too. Wadiseasons (talk) 19:53, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Update Intro of Caspio Wiki Page

Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented.

Headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, Caspio also operates in Poland, the Philippines, and Spain.

Overview

Caspio’s platform is used by companies, government entities, educational institutions, healthcare providers, and nonprofits to create custom database-driven applications such as internal tools, workflow automation, customer portals, and online forms. The platform is widely used in industries like healthcare, education, government, logistics, and professional services.

 Partly done: Added low-code to lead, everything else is too promotional in tone. Thanks, Encoded  Talk 💬 16:29, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the review and inclusion of the “low-code” descriptor. We’ve revised the company description further to address your note about promotional tone while ensuring accuracy and neutrality.

The new version removes marketing-style phrasing and focuses strictly on verifiable, encyclopedic facts consistent with other technology company entries such as Airtable, OutSystems, and Zoho Creator.

Caspio is a low-code application development platform founded in 2000 by Frank Zamani. The platform enables users to build online database applications, automate workflows, and create web-based tools without extensive programming knowledge. Caspio’s technology is used across sectors such as healthcare, education, government, and professional services to power data management and process automation. The company’s products incorporate features for data security, cloud deployment, and integration with third-party systems.

This revision aligns with Wikipedia’s Manual of Style (WP:TONE) and Notability for Companies (WP:ORG). We hope this version better fits the encyclopedia’s neutral point of view while preserving factual accuracy and context for readers.

Users can create, regenerate, or refine tables interactively, making database setup faster and more accessible for both technical and non-technical users. - Document Generation (2022): A built-in feature that lets users upload fillable PDF forms and automatically generate downloadable PDF documents with real-time form data.

UI Customization

Caspio Flex (2024): A visual application builder introduced in 2024 that enables users to design customizable web interfaces using component-based layout tools and embedded JavaScript. It provides more flexible control over page layout and design compared to the earlier framework.

* Why it should be changed:The current page is outdated and doesn’t reflect Caspio’s recent advancements, including its AI integration and the Caspio Flex framework. It oversimplifies the platform and lacks key updates. Updating the page will provide a more accurate and comprehensive overview of the company.

 Not done Hi @SundayNotes, I don't think that adding a list of compliance and features is appropriate per WP:NOTCATALOG and WP:PROMO, I'd recommend checking over them guidelines. It's also important to have neutral, independent sources. If there's news stories about your product's compliance/etc. then it might be different.

To: Caspio, Inc. is an American software company providing a low-code platform for building cloud-based business applications. Founded in 2000 by Frank Zamani, the company is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, with operations in Poland, the Philippines, and Spain. Caspio’s platform allows organizations to create online database applications and workflow tools without extensive coding.

There are currently 234 requests waiting for review. Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies.

Disclosure: I work for Caspio. I’m proposing a neutral update to the History and Overview sections to ensure factual accuracy and alignment with WP:NPOV and WP:NOTCATALOG. The current version omits key milestones and includes outdated information.

Change: [existing History text]

To: History Caspio was founded in 2000 by Frank Zamani to simplify the creation of database-driven web applications. The company launched its first product, Caspio Bridge, in 2001, positioning itself among the early entrants in the low-code development space. Between 2010 and 2012, Caspio was listed three times on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in the United States. In 2012, the platform migrated to Amazon Web Services (AWS), expanding its global cloud infrastructure. Subsequent updates introduced editions designed for specific compliance requirements such as HIPAA and GDPR. In the 2020s, Caspio added capabilities for workflow automation, AI-assisted development, and modern UI customization.

Overview Caspio’s platform enables organizations to create online database applications, automate workflows, and manage business processes without extensive coding. The technology is used across sectors including healthcare, education, government, and professional services to support data management and digital transformation initiatives. Caspio’s offerings include integrated cloud hosting, security and compliance features, and REST API integrations for external systems.

Reason: This version summarizes verifiable milestones, removes product listings and promotional tone, and focuses on historical and functional context consistent with other technology company entries. It aligns with WP:ORG and WP:NOTCATALOG.
