In the new world of Digital, the demand for business transformation via IT and hyper-automation has grown. Enterprises are having difficulties, including large ones, aligning with these trends due to the limited availability of developer talent. Many transformation projects go in “pending” status and are “delayed” due to a shortage of resources with specialised technical skills. As a result, high-cost offline/manual processes exist, time-to-market of digital business solutions is delayed, and competitive advantage is compromised.
?To address these challenges, low-code and no-code software solutions have emerged as viable and convenient alternatives to the traditional development process.
?What is Low-code?
Low-code is a fast application development approach that enables automated code generation through visual building blocks like drag-and-drop, pull-down menu interfaces and SDK’s. Examples of applications that lend themselves to low-code development include mobile app development, integration with third-party micro-services (payments) and external plugins etc.
Low-code benefits
?Productivity enabler: Low-code increases the velocity of development and integrations, clearing backlogs, reducing project timelines from months to days and facilitating faster product/service rollouts.
?Cost-effectiveness: ?Low-code is more cost-effective than doing manual development from scratch. It also results in better ROI with faster agile releases and integrations.
?Quick Time-To-Market: Low-code reduces the time-to-market of products, providing an edge and competitive advantage
