The cloud computing infrastructure offered by the company enables users to design and deliver customized SaaS applications without writing technical code. WorkXpress utilizes WYSIWYG visual tools in the form of 5 building blocks[9] and 5 tools [10] that enable non-code programmers the ability to define data models and application logic.[11]

Use of WorkXpress' visual query tool [12] and expression builder [13], two of the aforementioned 5 tools, provide WorkXpress a visual data map or "query" builder and allow for complex data driven content without writing technical code.[14]

WorkXpress has been independently labeled as a business user platform.[15][16] This designation relates to its purpose as an application development platform that does not require traditional code based programming.

Between December 2008 and August 2009, WorkXpress was chosen to be part of the Student Productization Center's Collaboration effort with Millersville University. Through it, WorkXpress supports Millersville students in learning.[17][18]
