Quick Application Development by Users through Low-Code Platforms

This is where low-code platforms can prove more helpful than traditional coding. Here are a few reasons why:

  • While traditional coding provides the means to create complex apps, low-code platforms come with fewer tools, but they allow for a speedier development process.
  • Complex apps often have bugs and performance issues that the IT team must tackle before launch. This does not happen with low-code apps, as their features are pre-developed and tested for the user.
  • Traditional development has higher associated costs, whereas low-code platforms are much less expensive, as you don’t pay the developer but the access to the service.
  • These platforms usually come with drag-and-drop features, increasing ease of use and saving tremendous time because anyone with a bit of digital literacy can use them.
  • Apps created through low-code platforms don’t need a dedicated team for support and maintenance.

 

What types of apps can be created through low-code platforms?

While low-code platforms are easy to use because they provide readily-built features, this does not mean these platforms are restrictive. Users can create quite a variety of apps by using them, including:

  • Customer engagement apps
  • Employee engagement apps
  • Customer portals
  • Optimization apps
  • Line of business apps
  • User Interface and business logic
