3.4 Low-Code Benefits

The benefits of modern low-code development platforms are:

Minimal coding, as in user-friendly, visual, drag-and-drop functionality:

  • Removal of barriers between Business and IT to support Agile continual collaboration and improvements.
  • Minimal necessary upfront investment in setup, configuration, training, and deployment.
  • Reduced IT SysOps support, with tools so easy to use that even citizen developers can create apps that integrate into the IT environment.
  • Instant, native mobility with no extra time, effort, or resources required.
  • Minimal hand-coding required.
  • Visual, drag-and-drop development tools and point-and-click interface creation to make creating and changing enterprise apps easy and fast.
  • Seamless integration unifying all data, processes, apps, and existing systems.
  • Apps are simple and intuitive to use, providing a streamlined user experience and working as expected on any device.

Hyper-responsiveness, the ability to go from idea to App immediately:

  • Ability to rapidly deliver applications in collaboration with product owners and business user stakeholders increases the PMO’s agility and responsiveness to business and mission needs.
  • Speed is at the core of vendor no-code framework functionality: business SMEs ideas can become fully functional and PMOs can launch apps in minutes, not months.
  • Adapt quickly to evolving business conditions, user expectations, and new technologies.
  • Stay ahead of the evolving expectations of stakeholders, users and Senior IT leadership.
  • Deployed in the cloud as PaaS or SaaS services, low-code helps reduce the on-premises IT maintenance burden.

Enterprise-grade, secure, scalable functionality - the opposite of what most people think when they hear low-code:

  • Ability to build and launch unique apps that meet enterprise-level mission needs, not just departmental ones.
  • Ability to expand departmental apps to address enterprise-wide challenges, no matter how large.
  • Ability to roll out enterprise-apps across the organization, no matter how many people or how geographically diverse.
  • Security certifications, like PCI, HIPAA, SOC 2 and 3, and many more.
  • Evolve ideas and apps into sophisticated, powerful solutions tailored to business users, stakeholders and the warfighter.
  • Transform the PMO’s IT organization, achieve business agility, and become a digital business leader.
  • Scale instantly for any project, program, or line-of-business, no matter how large.
