Digitization continues to progress at a rapid pace, and Low-Code and No-Code (LCNC) platforms have established themselves as an essential instrument in this process. These technologies are not only transforming application development, but are also reshaping the role of the IT domain in business management. This text analyzes how these platforms are transforming the way organizations manage technology, security and operations.

 

The democratization of software development

One of the most outstanding features of LCNC platforms lies in the democratization of software development. Today, non-expert users have the ability to develop applications using intuitive, drag-and-drop interfaces. This ability meets the demand for speed in business, the shortage of competent programmers and the pressure to reduce costs. According to Gartner, by 2025, 70% of new business applications will be generated through these platforms, a considerable increase compared to 2020.

The duality of LCNC adoption

The LCNC (LowCode/NoCode) implementation offers a fascinating duality.

  • They make it easy for business users to create solutions quickly, fostering innovation.

  • They assist in the deep understanding of internal work processes.

  • They raise new challenges in IT governance.

  • Security becomes a challenge in this new context.

  • Decentralized progress implies novel surveillance tactics.

  • Demands regulation in an increasingly fragmented ecosystem.

Key drivers of the LCNC movement

Several elements are driving the move to LCNC platforms. These systems allow users to create applications with minimal coding, or no coding at all.

  • Speed in business facilitates agile responses to market variations. In a dynamic business environment, the ability to adapt is crucial to remain competitive.

  • The lack of trained developers is solved with tools that enable business users to contribute directly to digital transformation. This democratizes development, allowing people with little programming experience to participate in the creation of applications.

  • In addition, cost optimization has become a priority, as LCNC development can reduce the time and cost of application development by up to 70%. This efficiency is essential for companies looking to reduce costs while increasing their ability to build and respond.

 

In conclusion, LCNC platforms are presented as a driver of change in corporate technology, providing possibilities for innovation, cost reduction and increased speed. However, they also require a strategic perspective on infrastructure management. Entities that incorporate these tools, coupled with appropriate governance and training models, will be better able to flourish in the digital age.
