Combining Business and Pleasure

What a summer in this edition first a personal note and Padel! and later about Lowcode and Nocode agencies.

Padel this Summer!

After a really rainy spring I decided to book a Padel trainings week with Viva Active (TUI Padel Academy in Spain lead by Evelien De Buck and Julian Hanley and got from them together with their top Spanish coaches (Carlos and Jose) 20 hours intensive Padel training and game play. Really Fun and improved my game a lot.

I really can recommend them if you want to have fun and improve your game. Carlos and Jose are in Belgium (Jan Stilten Academy) until 15 september. If interested just send me a personal message and I will connect you.

Back in The Netherlands I booked a special class with Hello Padel Academy 90 minutes intensive training. What a great environment with them! This weekend you can see their top players at Padel Copa in Utrecht, tickets still available https://padelcopa.com/

Also the Premier Padel will visit The Netherlands, from 8th of september till 15th of september: decathlon Premier Padel Rotterdam P1: https://premierpadelrotterdam.com/ with wildcards for the Dutchies!

I will be at both events, so if you want to meet just send me a message.

Also I see within my business network more and more Business Padel Network events and I want to thank Exact, Arrow and Copaco for their inventations!

Earlier this year I published an article about why to choose a Nocode/Lowcode Agency with a specialized team over an one seat company. Same as within my sport Padel I learned this summer team tactics are incredibly important:

Why Choose Experienced LowCode/NoCode Agencies Over Independent Freelancers?

In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, businesses often stand at a crossroads when it comes to software development: should they hire an independent freelance professional or partner with an experienced LowCode/NoCode agency? While freelancers can offer flexibility and lower costs, there are compelling reasons to opt for an agency, especially in terms of a knowledge center, future support, and continuity.

1. Knowledge Center: A Repository of Expertise

LowCode/NoCode agencies typically house a knowledge center, a comprehensive repository of expertise, best practices, and specialized skills. This center is not just a physical space but a metaphorical one, embodying the collective experience and insights of a team.

Key Benefits:

• Diverse Skill Sets: Agencies bring together professionals from various fields, offering a holistic approach to problem-solving.
• Up-to-Date Practices: They stay abreast of the latest industry trends, ensuring that your project isn’t just current but also forward-looking.
• Risk Mitigation: With a broader base of knowledge, agencies are better equipped to foresee and mitigate potential risks.

2. Future Support: Ensuring Long-Term Success

One of the most significant advantages of partnering with an agency is the assurance of future support. Independent freelancers may move on to other projects, but agencies typically offer ongoing support and maintenance.

Key Benefits:

• Reliability: Agencies often have dedicated support teams to assist with any future issues or updates.
• Scalability: As your business grows, agencies can easily scale your project up or down, adapting to your changing needs.
• Consistency: Regular updates and maintenance from the same agency ensure consistency in the quality and performance of your software.

3. Continuity: Keeping the Momentum Going

Continuity is critical in software development, and agencies are inherently structured to provide this. They ensure that even if individual developers are unavailable, the project doesn't stall.

Key Benefits:

• Seamless Transition: Agencies have processes in place to manage transitions between different teams or team members smoothly.
• Documentation and Standardization: Agencies maintain comprehensive documentation, making it easier for any new member to pick up where others left off.
• Long-Term Relationship: Building a long-term relationship with an agency can be beneficial for future projects, as they understand your business and its needs.

Conclusion

While independent freelancers can be a good choice for small, short-term projects, an experienced LowCode/NoCode agency provides a more comprehensive, reliable, and sustainable solution for businesses looking towards long-term digital innovation. By choosing an agency, you gain access to a vast knowledge center, assured future support, and guaranteed project continuity, all of which are crucial for the success and scalability of your digital endeavors.
