Low-code is the future. We know why

According to Gartner, low-code software development will account for about 65 percent of all app development activity by 2024. Of course, we are not surprised that low-code is becoming so prominent in software development land. In this blog, Jeroen de Smedt, Lead Mendix Architect & Certified Mendix Expert Developer at Mendify, talks about what we think are the six benefits of low-code.

1. Finding resources more easily

Learning traditional programming languages such as Java, Assembly, R, Visual Basic, SQL and Kotlin, requires serious training of several years. Then programmers must also gain the necessary experience before they are employable. With a low-code platform like Mendix, anyone with strong analytical skills can be productive within a few months. This is very welcome in today’s tight labor market.

2. Short time-to-market

By developing applications with low-code, you reduce development time. Thus, the time-to-market – and thus the time-to-value – is many times shorter than in the traditional way of software development. This makes waiting for new features for your colleagues, customers and suppliers a thing of the past.

3. Future-proof

Choosing a low-code platform like Mendix’s is a future-proof choice. It makes it easier to keep the software you develop up-to-date. If the customer comes with new requirements and wishes, you can update the application fairly quickly without having to start from scratch again because it doesn’t fit previous functionality.

4. More with less

Low-code is a way of building software that is accessible to a wide range of people. Because, thanks to the graphical interface and the building block-based development method, you can also involve people from the business – without a development background – you can deliver the same with fewer people, or deliver more with the same number of people.

5. Better connection to the business

Because you are closer to the business with the low-code development method, you have shorter lines of communication. As a result, the final product will better reflect wishes of the product owner.

6. Simpler assurance of security and data privacy.

By using a low-code platform like Mendix, you almost automatically meet a whole host of security, data privacy and governance requirements.

Low-code gives you wings

Low-code allows you to develop software faster, get higher-quality solutions and ensure greater satisfaction, both among your employees and the customer. In short, we dare say that low-code is giving digital transformation wings.
