Revolutionizing platforms through low-code/no-code
June 17, 2021
Power to the people!
Industry research shows that in 2021 alone, low-code/no-code platforms will account for 75% of new app development, and Accenture's own research shows that 60% of low-code/no-code users expect their usage of the platform to increase. It's a huge shift in democratizing who can innovate and create value from technology.
But putting power into your people's hands requires considered management. There's no doubt of the value that low-code/no-code can create. However, democratization could tip over into anarchy if left to its own devices. That's why companies need a clear approach to get the most out of low-code/no-code and empower their people with the right tools and systems to achieve innovation at the next level.

What is Low-Code/No-Code?
Low-code / No-Code (LCNC) is a way to design and develop custom software apps fast and with minimal hand-coding.
Low-code and no-code are related concepts, but cater for different user personas: professional developers and Business analysts respectively.

- Creating new business rules and process controls
- Creating new user experiences
- Developing new business applications
What are the main benefits areas of using LCNC?

- Low-Code Development Tools Include Custom Code: Low-code platforms allow developers to add their own code as needed.
- No-Code has Everything You Need to Build an App: No-code platforms come equipped with all the modules and tools to create functional apps.
- No-Code Is for Business Users Only: No-code platforms are typically used only by business users.
- Low-Code Is Both for Professional Developers and Business Users: Professional developers and citizen developers can both use low-code platforms.
