Low-code development is an approach to building software and mobile apps efficiently. Reducing the need and complexity of hand-coding, low-code enables a platform or business application to be built and delivered faster.
Low-code applications are created using visual modeling tools such as pre-built connectors, smart services, drag-and-drop modelers, and components. These tools enable users with limited technical knowledge to develop apps, freeing experienced IT professionals to focus on more significant projects.
Low-code solutions accelerate a business’s path to a more agile, profitable, and sustainable future. By embracing low-code development, companies will be able to move faster with more productive employees, and they will be in a better position to drive innovation and revenue.
Speed and agility: Low-code tools enable non-programmers to develop the software they need and solve their technical challenges with drag-and-drop features.
Quality: Less is more when it comes to code. With pre-built and tested components, the risk of bugs or developer error is drastically reduced.
Because there is less code, citizen developers can avoid steps like planning systems architecture, setting up backend frameworks, hard-coding, and endless testing rounds—and focus on creating a quality app instead.
Talent pool: By lowering the barrier to entry for a new class of developers, businesses can start to address the growing skills gap while investing in growth for current employees.
