Nova Backbone
A shared foundation for software you own.
Nova Backbone provides the common capabilities behind your product. Add reusable modules, connect your systems and build your own applications on top.
The core
What every product on Nova starts with.
The core covers the parts of a business application that are the same every time. Plain language first; the technical detail is one click away.
- 01
Access & permissions
Determines who may use which information and functions.
- 02
Workflows & human oversight
Connects steps and makes human control possible.
- 03
Visibility & audit
Makes actions and errors traceable.
- 04
Admin & configuration
Manages settings and environments.
- 05
APIs & developer tools
Lets developers connect and extend their own software.
Your environment
Your own accounts and set-up beneath the core.
Own accounts, own set-up. A core licence does not automatically include cloud, AI or external licence costs.
Modules
Add the modules your product needs.
Modules are licensed separately, depending on the package you choose. Each one has its own page.
Nova Memory
Give your software the context it needs.
View moduleNova Companion
Bring an assistant into your product experience.
View moduleAdvisory modules
Turn your advisory method into repeatable software.
View moduleData connectors & context
Connect the systems and information your product relies on.
View moduleThe core API lets your developers connect systems. A paid connector or custom integration adds a ready-made or configured link to a specific source.
Your product
Everything that makes it yours.
Your own screens, domain logic, workflows and extensions sit above the core and the modules. Apps, portals, collaboration, websites and payments show the breadth of what can be built or integrated.
Per project we specify which parts already exist, which are configured, which are integrated and which are newly built.
You own your custom development. Nova maintains and licenses the shared Backbone and reusable modules.

Your specific business workflow, for example order intake with a two-step approval, belongs to your product.
Nova provides the generic workflow orchestration: steps, approvals, audit.
Hosting, updates and continuity
Own environments. Agreed operations.
Separate environments
Each customer or venture runs in its own environment, with its own data. There is no shared database across customers.
Connect, don’t relocate
Connecting your data does not mean all source data has to move. Your systems of record stay where they are.
Who operates it
Nova can implement and maintain the product. Your team or a certified partner can do the same.
Updates and service
Updates and service follow the subscription you choose. Continued use and transfer are agreed for the components actually delivered.
