One of the leading conversations in technology in recent times is how to overcome shortages in IT professionals.
With the world’s seemingly exponential digitization of services, social lives and industries, it’s more urgent than ever to find solutions to skill and knowledge gaps.
An option can be considered with citizen developers using Rapid Application Development (RAD) Platforms ‒ including No Code and Low Code ‒ that enable people with little to no experience or understanding to create workable apps quickly and affordably.
This tech is projected to continue to grow in use and value with the future of coding speculated to be in the hands of these everyday people; in fact, from a recent Gartner survey, 41 percent of respondents said they have active citizen development initiatives with a further 20 percent in the evaluation or planning stage for working with non-technology professionals.
Rich opportunity
From RAD Platforms, it’s No Code that offers a particularly rich opportunity for organizations short on IT expertise or who have limited budgets to still have high-impact tech solutions.
As a tech niche, No Code requires no prior knowledge and can just as easily be utilized in a small business space as in a bigger organization whose IT team is overworked.
From HR environments to retail enterprises, No Code development platforms have a drag-and-drop user-friendly interface that can swiftly produce apps ready for use.
In terms of what they can do, Declan Healey writes for Codebots: “As long as your requirements are straightforward and fit within the capabilities of the vendor you choose, this no-code solution is an excellent way to combat human and legacy system error.”
Significant impact
The outcomes of automating processes like data collection and order management can have a significant impact for dovetailing in with business processes and improving overall workflows.
The outlook for implementing No-Code across all different industries and resolving bigger issues has impressive scope with this explored in more detail in the infographic below from TeamKonnect.
They developed this infographic, ‘The Rise of No-Code Development Platforms’ with more key information, relevant statistics and a practical guide to the individual features of both RAD platforms.
