Low-Code Revolution - Bringing IT and Business Together

Low-Code and No-Code Enable Apps to Be Built Faster

At the core of the problem is the fact that business users need too many implementations too rapidly, and IT cannot physically keep up with all of it.

That’s where low-code and no-code help pick up the pace. Since these platforms are designed with speed in mind, they enable both IT and business users to create their own applications at a rate that would be impossible if it were hand-coded.

This kind of work-sharing between business and IT is not just useful, it’s necessary. Gone are the days where a business user could request an application without providing active input. With low-code and no-code, business users have a big say in the application they need, so there is a higher clarity of vision.

And if the complexity is too much for a business user to do alone, then IT can step in and help out.

Ultimately, everyone saves time and effort.

Business and IT Can Collaborate Together

Some developers live in fear of low-code and no-code, but for the most part, those fears are baseless. Yes, there will be less development coming their way, but the notion that their jobs are irrelevant with the advent of low-code and no-code is unfounded.

There will always be a need for skilled developers. Allowing developers to spend more time on complex implementations and give the responsibility of creating long-tail applications back to the business user, that’s the change that low-code development tools bring to an organization. 

This is where business and IT can collaborate together. By allowing business users to take care of simple implementations, IT can help out with complex requests that cannot be done easily through low-code and no-code.

If an application is under development, business users can focus on the simpler parts while IT can collaborate on the more complex aspects.

This kind of collaboration is where digital transformation starts taking place in an organization.

Low-code and No-code Can Drive IT Modernization

We’ve talked about how low-code and no-code can enable digital transformation, but little into how it actually does this.

Allows Scalable and Fast Deployment of Apps

Low-code solutions and no-code development platforms provide a quick and easy way to deploy apps, while allowing for easy maintenance and scaling as and when required.

In organizations where the number of staff can change rapidly and needs evolve constantly, this enables your processes to be agile.

Makes Digital Transformation EVERYONE’S Responsibility

Digital transformation is typically seen as the IT department’s job. They have to do the work to convince and drag the rest of the company into the digital sphere.

However, by offering a no-code platform, IT can actually spread that responsibility across the entire organization. For example, it would take IT years to digitize every business process in a company and gather data from it. But, if they offer a no-code app development platform to business users, they will create their own apps and do the work themselves.

Lower Risk

Investing in developers, training them, and integrating them into your organization is an expensive and time-consuming task. If you’re going to use them to write every single application that you need, it’ll be a risky proposition, since there are going to be some applications that will not produce the intended result, and the whole plan will be scrapped.

With low-code and no-code, even if you produce applications that ultimately are a failure, the loss of time and cost is very minimal. This kind of reduced risk lets you move forward with the confidence that can afford to fail without being reprimanded.
