Low-code is king. Here’s why
In the rapidly evolving digital world, it is essential for organizations to be agile and responsive to change. This is where low-code development shows its power. In this blog, Simon Allaert, Mendix developer at Mendify tells you why low-code platforms are the future and how you yourself can benefit from this revolutionary way of application development.
Two-thirds of application development with low-code by 2024
In a global survey conducted by ServiceNow and Wakefield Research, 91 percent of executives and 76 percent of employees indicated that routine business processes are managed completely or partially offline within their companies. There simply aren’t enough developers in the world to automate all those processes. According to Gartner, citizen developers are going to fill that gap. The global research and consulting firm predicts that by 2024, low-code application development will account for more than 65 percent of application development activities. These are three of the reasons why low-code is so immensely popular.
Faster development, better results
Low-code platforms provide an intuitive visual development environment and reusable templates, making application development significantly faster than with traditional code. In some cases, development time can even be reduced by a factor of ten. This enables companies to enter the market faster, adapt more quickly to changing needs and gain and maintain a competitive edge.
Lower costs, higher productivity
Low-code development also brings significant cost savings. Because applications can be built much faster, less time and resources are required. In addition, low-code requires less specific technical expertise, allowing organizations to take advantage of a wider range of talent and rely less on expensive specialists. This leads to higher productivity and efficiency in the development process.
Improved communication and collaboration
Another benefit of low-code is improved communication and collaboration between different stakeholders. Due to the visual and intuitive nature of low-code platforms, non-technical team members, such as designers and business analysts, can easily participate in the development process and share their ideas and insights. This promotes collaboration between business and IT, resulting in better applications that meet the needs of the organization.
