Why is it important to build business sustainability?

Forward-thinking modern businesses are always on the lookout for ways to modernize legacy processes using new digital technology tools. However, even with a vibrant IT team, the process of building apps that accelerate inefficient workflows and streamline processes can take a long time.

What role does citizen development play here?

That’s where citizen development comes in. Citizen developers are non-IT employers. It is not a separate role or new position within your organization. Rather, they’re everyday employees who have been trained to use no-code and low-code development platforms to build citizen developer apps that help to enhance internal processes, streamline workflows and improve overall efficiency.

How citizen development helps to build sustainability?

In light of the fast-paced and highly competitive digital business landscape available today, companies are turning to citizen development as a way to maintain their agility and keep up with the demands of the rapidly evolving market.

Unlocking Business Growth With Citizen Development and Low-Code

The future is
Low-code/No-code

By 2024

Over 65% of application developers worldwide will use low-code/no-code platforms. They will build user-friendly applications to solve everyday business challenges.

By 2030

The low-code development platform market will produce $187 billion in revenue globally. This technology enables non-IT professionals in different departments to realize their ideas under the supervision of IT.

What is citizen development?

Citizen development is a business process that provides business users with low-code tools to create the applications they need. Citizen developers essentially take on the role of building the apps that help them deliver results on a daily basis.

Why do citizen developers use LCNC?

Many companies now use apps to solve their business needs. Global Market Insights predicts that by 2024, the enterprise application market will be worth over $287 billion. To meet the ever-growing need for apps, organizations need a faster way to build them. Citizen developers use them for the following reasons

Ease of use

Low-code/no-code platforms have a user-friendly graphical interface with a drag-and-drop design. They allow individuals with non-IT backgrounds to develop applications without writing any code.

Cost-effectiveness

Many vendors offer simple, cost-effective solutions and provide support, so companies don't have to train their citizen developers. And after paying for the software, an enterprise only needs to worry about occasional maintenance expenses.

Time management

63% of IT leaders expect to reduce the length of the software development cycle with low-code/no-code tools. Citizen developers can create apps up to 10-times faster, so IT spends time on high-value activities.

Employee satisfaction

Low-code/no-code tools empower employees to solve their problems. As they create useful solutions, they become happier, and their productivity increases.

Increased efficiency

LCNC platforms allow businesses to meet the growing need for apps—a lot faster and more affordably. They can easily address bottlenecks that cause operational efficiencies. Greater agility and speed increase operational efficiency.
