The Pros and Cons of Low-Code Development Platforms
Is a low-code development platform worth the risk?
What is a low-code platform?
A low-code development platform is a tool used by businesses to create applications and automate processes without the heavy reliance on code. Developers and non-IT employees use a visual interface, basic logic, and drag-and-drop capabilities to create fully functional business applications.
The perils of missing out on low-code
Slow app development cycles
IT departments are always overwhelmed with requests. They also have to troubleshoot problems, maintain infrastructure, and create solutions. Not implementing low-code can prolong app development cycles.
Shadow IT thrives
Shadow IT is dangerous because using unauthorized devices and software without IT's approval carries several risks such as non-compliance, data loss, and system inefficiencies. Without low-code, shadow IT prevails.
No collaboration
Collaboration is an important aspect of app development. Without low-code, it can be difficult to enable cross-functional communication, optimize resources, keep productivity high, and control operational costs.
What does IT gain from low-code platforms?
Build solutions fast
Enterprise-grade low-code speeds up time to market for digital products. Team members can actively participate in application design and build solutions faster than the competition.
Automate processes
Automation reduces time, effort, and cost. It reduces manual errors and gives a business more time to focus on its primary objectives. Automation makes for high-quality results because each task is performed identically.
Rapid iterations
Developers can quickly iterate and edit existing processes to meet changing business needs. Testing facilities can also be used to ensure processes run successfully.
