Global Pandemic, Digital Transformation, and No Code

Your business has never been short of ideas, but you may have fallen short of resources to launch them in the market as fast as needed. The pace of technological changes is increasing the rate of software obsolescence. The pressure on IT teams is on a forever-high with the increasing app demands. How can you deliver the best digital experiences, while working with existing resources? It’s time we get real about enterprise-grade no-code platforms.

Now, thanks to no-code, you can quickly launch your journey to the digital realm.

No-code has allowed us to drastically minimize and even eliminate the need for coding, resulting in faster and future-proof app development.

Applications built using no-code platforms are modular by nature, thus, making the cost and efforts of future enhancements negligible. From simple automation of manual and paper-based processes to legacy system modernization to building new complex workflows from the ground-up, no-code platforms can be used for a wide array of requirements.

With enhanced workflow, automation and OOB connectors, containerization, content management, database, and UI designing capabilities, no-code platform allows enterprises to utilize their existing tech stack better by deploying applications between and into existing or new processes.

No code allows alignment with the dynamic future of custom application development. In the age where business success is measured by the resources owned and not by the software used, applications need to effectively incorporate future roadmaps that support rapidly changing scenarios. The model-driven approach is the future and no-code platforms stand by this norm in so many ways.

Parameters to consider:

1. App usability and the UX

2. App functionality

3. Maintenance cost

4. Security

5. Skills needed to build

No Code accelerating digital transformation amid COVID-19 pandemic

COVID-19 has demonstrated the importance of IT and digital infrastructure and organizations are quickly adapting to the new circumstances to remain in the market and have an edge over their competitors.

Organizations over the world have focused on advancement in infrastructure framework to defend their physical assets so they can remain strong during cataclysmic events. However, the pandemic has indicated these strategies aren’t sufficient with regards to guaranteeing availability and business continuity during health crises.

Organizations are looking towards No-code and Low-code Platforms, which enable them with rapid app development to keep the work running. Instead of developing apps by writing scripts in programming languages, applications can be created by less experienced employees and could be integrated with the existing digital ecosystem of the organization.

Time is of essence

The pandemic left no time for the organizations to develop their software for business continuity. Businesses realize they are required to fire up their reaction to the COVID-19 emergency – and they are expected to move fast.

Sandy Shen, Senior Director Analyst, Gartner. says “This is a wake-up call for organizations that have placed too much focus on daily operational needs at the expense of investing in digital business and long-term resilience. Businesses that can shift technology capacity and investments on digital platforms will mitigate the impact of the outbreak and keep their companies running smoothly now, and over the long term.”

Nobody knows how long the present conditions will prevail. Fortunately, no-code platforms can assist MNCs, Startups, entrepreneurs with saving money and time, with the rapid development of applications to support their critical business requirements.
