No Code Solution and Their?Benefits

A no-code solution, as the name suggests, is a software application that is easy to use by users nor having any programming experience, requires no programming skills, and allows rapid creation of platforms. It allows employees who lack the knowledge of programming languages to create platforms, such as websites or apps, or to add or modify existing ones.

Therefore, no-code solutions provide marketing teams in organizations with all the tools needed to create applications without requiring formal development training. All tools needed are available without requiring IT assistance!

The goal of no-code solutions is to simplify hard work into easily understandable tools and intuitive designs, allowing anyone to launch a platform in minutes.

In addition, no-code is enunciating its advantages with every passing day, since it has established itself as a contender in the IT space. Gone are the days when writing lines of codes was necessary to develop apps. Today, you can develop even enterprise-grade apps in a jiffy! No wonder it’s catching the attention of citizen developers and IT teams alike.

No-code basics

Let’s start by discussing the basics of no-code application development. This is nothing more than using drag & drop mechanics as well as pre-built options. No-code allows you to build apps, be it mobile apps, websites, or enterprise applications, without writing a single line of code.

As a result of the pandemic, the demand for no-code increased greatly due to the agility and speed provided by it to businesses, which was a necessity for every business. Due to the advantages of no-code, they directly overcame the deficiencies of traditional development. This is why everyone — from small businesses to large enterprises — is now embracing no-code tools.

Here are some of the benefits of no-code:

1. It is?fast

If you compare the speed to coding, you will understand what I mean. A simple app won’t take more than a few hours to develop. A complex, enterprise customer application will take a few weeks at most..

2. It is?easy

We have said this before and we will say it again — no-code tools are very easy to use. They are intuitive and cut down on the learning process. They are so easy that high school kids can use them too. They mostly include drag and drop features that enable you to create any enterprise-grade application with ease without any coding knowledge. Since it’s all visual, citizen developers can see what they are building in real-time and make changes accordingly.

3. You can pivot easily

When we say “pivot,” we mean changing the app’s audience or market. If you decide that a particular no-code app will work well for another target market, you can make the switch without engaging the developers. You won’t incur heavy expenses either!

4. You need just one person — not the whole team!

How cool is it that a single person can build an app and that too within hours? A talented citizen developer will do the trick and you won’t have to spend your budget on building a large team of expensive professional developers. Also, the in-house IT experts can focus on other important tasks as the citizen developers take over the app development.

5. Maintenance is quick

In the pre-no-code world, maintenance was quite intimidating and lengthy tasks because of the complications involved. With no-code, you don’t need a programmer even during maintenance as making updates and changes in the app is nothing but a cakewalk for an expert citizen developer.

6. Leverage potential of internal resources

No-code offers simple parameters for anybody without coding knowledge to develop applications. Business users who have hands-on experience on the issue can create applications themselves. It enables organizations to put to use their internal resources in building solutions without having to hire somebody from the outside.

7. Keep a check on Shadow IT

In the need to deliver solutions faster business users tend to switch to solutions available outside without any knowledge of the IT department. No-code citizen development facilitates development under the purview and with the collaboration of the IT department; giving business users the autonomy to create and the organization the ability to govern.

8. You can save a lot of money

It is frustrating having to allocate budgets when times are volatile. With budget cuts happening left, right, and center, it is refreshing to realize you don’t have to compromise on the output once you adapt no-code. Could it get any better? I think not!

9. No-code is the future

Uncertain times have definitely got the ball rolling but no-code isn’t a fluke or a trend. It is here to stay. Now that enterprises are realizing its power and ease of use, there is no denying that more no-code tools will be developed and this type of app development will become the new normal.
