# Launchpad by Energy Web

## What is Launchpad?

Launchpad is a Software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that enables energy companies and software developers to rapidly configure and deploy Energy Web solutions.

Launchpad was created by Energy Web to provide an enterprise-grade platform for organizations wanting to develop Energy Web technology supported solutions. It provides business users with a no-code option to quickly configure and launch enterprise solutions and supporting infrastructure.

The platform offers multiple benefits to its users:

* Blockchain and Energy sector solutions accessible at low entry level complexity with easy UI based wizards configurations

* Overhead reduction with easy to develop solutions and a key-in-hand feeling
* Interconnection and mutual benefits for the Crypto and Enterprise communities

Launchpad offers 3 main types of services:
