Tell Me About Low-Code, No-Code Development!
Whether you are an IT pro, a business owner or business manager, you probably like to stay up to date on industry developments, and on the newest technology. That is a wise choice, because these advancements can often provide leverage for you to enhance products and/or services, and create competitive advantage.
If you have been reading about low-code, no-code development (LCNC), you may wonder what the buzz is all about, and how this approach might affect your enterprise technology or the offerings you are considering as software solutions and apps to support or enhance your business.
‘Low-code, no-code offers a rapid application development environment whereby the enterprise can add features and stay abreast of customer requirements, staff needs and market advancements.’
In fact, Gartner predicts that 90% of large organizations will adopt a low-code, no-code approach in some form, and that ‘75% of new global software solutions will incorporate a low-code approach.’
So, what is all the fuss about?
Let’s start with a brief explanation:
Low-Code Solutions use visual development environments and automated links to back-end systems, databases, web services and APIs.
No-Code Solutions utilize visual drag-and-drop interfaces and require no coding, but rather are configured and implemented quickly, using the skilled application of tools and techniques.
These development techniques allow teams to quickly and easily complete applications using visual development tools. This approach replaces or augments the more traditional complex coding techniques, thereby shortening the development cycle and decreasing resource requirements.
Here are just a few of the benefits of the Low-Code, No-Code approach:
- Low-Code and No-Code allows for data governance and appropriate security enforcement for user access and to protect the integrity of the data.
- The development team can create building blocks to ensure rapid upgrade, and augment features, etc.
- The enterprise can use this approach to support rapid application development, thereby ensuring that the organization can quickly adapt and respond to market changes.
- The development team can easily integrate new features and enhancements into enterprise systems to increase staff productivity.
It is important to note that the low-code, no-code approach is not meant to replace software developers, IT or data scientists. Rather it is meant to supplement and augment apps and solutions; by offering a rapid application development environment whereby the enterprise can add features and stay abreast of customer requirements, staff needs and market advancements. The primary goal of this approach is to support business users, and to create a nimble, agile business environment.
While the Low-Code, No-Code approach can enhance and support development by providing simple tools for swift, accurate completion, the enterprise is likely to have more complex technology needs, that will require innovative, intricate solutions and technology approaches.
‘Gartner predicts that 90% of large organizations will adopt a low-code, no-code approach in some form, and that ‘75% of new global software solutions will incorporate a low-code approach.’
In order to make the most of the Low-Code, No-Code Approach, and determine how best to satisfy your software and application development solution requirements, it is important to engage an expert. Experienced low-code, no-code programmers will ensure that your project will be completed with the right skills and that you are building for the future with the potential for upgrades and expansion as appropriate, assessing technical feasibility, creating an appropriate architecture, performing process and workflow design, and design integration as appropriate, and optimizing low-code or no-code techniques.
