The Power of Low-Code and No-Code Platforms
Innovation in Application Development: The Power of Low-Code and No-Code Platforms
by Stelios Papandreou, Enterprise Solutions Director at SingularLogic
Low-code and no-code platforms are critical in facilitating digital transformation within organizations. When contemplating the selection of the most suitable platform, it is imperative to carefully evaluate the available options and consider various factors associated with the business environment and its specific requirements.
Low-code & no-code platforms & advantages
Low-code and no-code platforms represent innovative technologies designed to streamline application development by minimizing the need for programming expertise. These platforms feature intuitive user interfaces, drag-and-drop functionality, and prebuilt templates, enabling individuals with limited coding knowledge to create fully operational applications.
Low-code and no-code platforms are pivotal in expediting the digital transformation of businesses by providing several key advantages:
- They enable rapid and straightforward development of applications, solutions, and automation, allowing businesses to meet their requirements faster than conventional programming approaches.
- These platforms offer an appealing cost-performance ratio, combining rapid response capabilities with low application development costs, thus rendering them financially accessible to businesses of varying sizes.
- The flexibility and adaptability of these platforms allow for easy and rapid modification of solutions to align with evolving business requirements.
Selecting the right platform
Specialized platforms focus on low-code/no-code capabilities. However, leading enterprise software vendors also provide these capabilities as part of an integrated set of cloud services. This consideration significantly impacts the selection decision of the most appropriate platform for an organization, as it directly relates to its technological orientation, strategy, and objectives.
In evaluating strategic technological decisions, a business should assess its current technological framework, the operational landscape, unique attributes and constraints, digital proficiency, and the competency of its workforce. Additionally, considerations are:
The total cost of utilizing the platform, which encompasses the direct expenses, such as licenses or subscriptions, and the indirect costs for these solutions' development, maintenance, and ongoing support.
The ability to scale over time, enabling the organization to incorporate additional functionality or extend its utilization to a broader user base.
Data security, which is a critical factor nowadays since applications manage sensitive data.
The company's technological ecosystem,which includes its technological partners and its technological mix from the Back end to the app stores, ensures a smooth operation, possibilities to enrich the solutions based on evolving needs, and a high level of support.
