In today’s fast paced digital economy, technology is driving macro initiatives in enterprises as well as mid-market. Changing market dynamics, new entrants and startups are disrupting the status quo on how organizations operate and respond to change.
Businesses are demanding new software applications to be built in matter of days in order to adapt and respond to change. How does one cope in such a hyper-active agile environment.
Fortunately, low-code software platforms are coming of age at the right time in order to monetize the opportunity at hand.
Here are 4 signals which emphasize the need to adopt low-code platforms.
1. Your IT and Development team is not able to meet business expectations
Business teams will always demand top-notch capabilities at fraction of the cost and delivery time frame. Not that they have unrealistic expectations from IT, but that is the reality of business.
If you find yourself grappling with ever changing requirements and are unable to meet businesses expectations, then may be its time to evaluate how these projects are being delivered and if there is a better way to address them.
Low-Code Software Platforms enable development teams to work on a truly agile environment. Requirements gathering and prototyping can go hand in hand, thanks to Visual IDEs and pre-built libraries which address requirements which can and cannot be met.
Low-Code Platforms also have most of the UX, Backend and Integration components pre-built, so that development teams can adapt it to the requirement at hand, rather than starting ground-up.
2. You have invested in too many packaged apps or point solutions
There was time when point solutions were considered a smart move in enterprise circles. Though these solutions are tailor made for the business domain they cater to, they create more hurdles than solutions in the long run.
Growing businesses will need all siloed software applications to talk to each other in order optimize business process as well as outcomes. As these solutions are proprietary in nature, it becomes difficult to integrate them with other enterprise systems.
Low-Code software platforms enable you to develop any type of App in matter of weeks. You can customize these apps based on your needs and enhance them as business keeps changing.

3. You are unable to justify your large IT team
Adopting traditional methods of developing software applications will result in high IT expenditure which may or may not result in business success.
Low-Code Platforms enables you to work smart by reducing the development effort and improving the quality of developer output. As the redundant development tasks are automated by low-code platforms, your developers can focus on solving mission-critical problems. This enables you to optimize your development team size as well as quality. They even encourage businesses to adopt citizen development, which empowers business users to develop most areas of the app which do not require hand-coding.
4. Project overrun and over budget
If you find yourself in spot with project budget and timelines being missed regularly, then it’s a strong indicator to do things differently. All the above points emphasize on three things mainly i.e. delivering software applications faster, better and on-budget.
