Understanding the Popular Low-Code and No-Code Platforms
When a business undertakes a new software project, it may do so to create a product for consumers, or for business users, or it may do so to upgrade an existing solution. Whatever the established goal for that mobile app, web app or software solution, it is important to understand the rapidly advancing state of technology, and to consider the foundation for your business or consumer solution. Building on outdated or inflexible technologies is a recipe for failure. But when an organization sets out to plan its approach, the choices and options can be daunting. Will you design your tools and features for smart phones, tablets, laptops or desktops, or perhaps for all of those devices? Once you have made the decision about user access, you will have to decide on a development approach. And THOSE options can be overwhelming. Still, if your business has done any research on the subject of software and application technology, you are well aware of the opportunities inherent in the technology market, and your business will want to leverage those opportunities to generate revenue, extend market reach and customer visibility and enhance enterprise growth.
