Long gone are the days of old, when to create a visually appealing and user-friendly application, you’d need to spend hours learning a programming language. With the rise of low code and no code platforms over recent years, it has become easier than ever to create applications that can increase productivity, automate business processes, thus reducing business costs.
Businesses are tackling several digital transformational challenges:
- Budget Constraints
- Time & resource constraints
- Business expectations
- Paper processes
- Complex processes
In addition to these transformational challenges, market changes in the workplace are leading to increasing digital demand, a changing workforce and an increasing lack of developers.
• 750M more apps will be created in the next 3 years, than in the last 40.
• 50% of digital work can now be automated with current technology.
• 79% of managers are seeing increased pro and citizen developer collaboration.
• 85% of workers prefer an employer who invests in their development and upskilling.
• There is a 4M shortfall in developers.
• 86% of companies find it challenging to hire tech talent.
Is there a solution to these challenges?
“The future: Accelerate innovation with low code”.
The difference between ‘no-code’ and ‘low code’?
The clue is in the name, ‘no code’ requires zero coding or programming experience. Users can simply drag and drop pre-programmed blocks and add functionality with ease, without having to add in any coding. However, low code development does require the user to have some degree of programming or coding experience, in order to add in differing functionalities or features.
