Topic: Low-code powered by Gen AI

Why are organisations leveraging low-code powered by Gen AI?

As technology advances at an unprecedented pace, organisations are looking for opportunities to leverage AI. This is particularly true when it comes to software development. Today's IT leaders are challenged with many questions, including:

• How will AI reshape coding in the future?
• How will the role of low-code change in an AI-powered world?

There is an on demand webinar series that not only answers the questions above, but also provides further context on:

• How AI and low-code can accelerate app dev and make your team more productive.
• Ways to take advantage of popular AI services like ChatGPT in your applications.
• Benefits of including AI capabilities in your applications to improve end-user experience.

Why IT leaders are looking to low code?

Fundamentally, leaders are turning to low code for a number of reasons:

• Legacy Debt: Keeping-the-lights-on activities make up a massive 70 to 80 percent of IT budgets according to Forrester’s 2018 US Tech Budget Outlook. Inflexible back-office systems that are hard to integrate and time-consuming to adapt are a big part of this problem. Our State of Application Development survey report confirmed this, with legacy systems, integration, and deficient APIs blamed as the main factor that complicated or delayed delivery of new web or mobile apps
• Massive Backlogs: Many organisations have more work than their IT teams can deliver. According to our recent survey of over 3,500 IT professionals. 65 percent of respondents complained of application backlogs, and only 32% said their backlog had improved since last year.
• Scarce Resources: 80% of IT professionals say web and mobile skills are hard to hire, according to the State of Application Development survey report. Whether you retrain or recruit, the remedies for this skills drought are time-consuming and expensive.
• Uncertainty: Digital transformation is hard because genuine innovation is a million miles from the comparative safety of incremental and linear business improvement. Embracing uncertainty and the need for experimentation is hard for organisations. Our State of Application Development survey report confirmed this, with 59% of respondents saying fuzzy or changing requirements was a top challenge that slowed down app delivery.
