Enable Everyone to Innovate

Enabling everyone to innovate ensures anyone from a business, IT or pro developer can build better solutions and drive innovation. Using low-code tools from the Power Platform, anyone can develop better solutions and drive innovation. Not only that, but they can also do so quicker and in a controlled manner with built-in security and governance.

Today we’re focussing on the ‘everyone’ and how individuals across a business can help towards accelerating innovation using low code. We touched on this in a previous blog, if you’d like to learn more follow the link below.

Accelerate Innovation with Low Code (risual.com)

Digital transformation isn’t easy and doesn’t just come down to technology, it’s about people, process, and culture. It’s common that conflicts can occur between the business and IT due to the challenges each face. That’s not to say transformation isn’t possible but it needs a platform that enables innovation whilst proving security and compliance. The purpose of low code is how we bridge this gap and tackle the challenges with a platform that does the following:

  • Lower risk for the business.
  • Improve productivity for end users.
  • Improve employee and customer experience.

Microsoft has identified surging digital demand, changing workforce and not enough developers as key market changes. These are accelerating the adoption of low-code technology across all industries and departments. It’s expected that in the next 3 years more apps will be created than the last 40 years combined. 750 million new apps will be looking to automate 50% of all digital work. As the number of employees upskilling grows and difficulty to hire tech talent remains, this is expected to grow. Organisations are increasingly looking to upskill their workforce and make use of low-code technologies.

The future of low code includes collaborating across the business bridging the gap between app makers and pro dev’s. The below image from Microsoft shows this gap and how low-code can work in an organisation alongside more custom-code development.

When adopting low code there are three key areas to how it can help, enabling developers to focus on impactful tasks, opening tools up to app makers across the business and enabling developers to innovate faster and accelerate build times.

Microsoft looks as low code as a single platform for everyone to build solutions not siloed tools. It’s key that low code isn’t just about app development but rather a whole platform. The Microsoft Power Platform provides end to end functionalities for all low code applications. The purpose of this platform is to ensure whatever the starting point, user can innovate with limited barriers to entry. Whether that’s starting with a front-end application through to chat bots or business intelligence, the Power Platform has everything anyone needs.

risual works with organisations daily to help drive innovation regardless or technology, experience, or sector. The Power Platform enables us to quickly build a concept which can quickly iterate into a production ready solution. Technology shouldn’t be a constraint but instead a tool to help drive adoption, innovation, and transformation. If you’d like to find out more about the Power Platform, follow this link to the Microsoft Learn documentation.
