Creatio and Low-Code No-Code Development: What’s the Story?
Software development publications and industry journals have been talking about Low-Code and No-Code (LCNC) development for some time now. If you are wondering what this is and how it can help your business, let’s dive in and explore the world of LCNC, and one of its premier development platforms.
Let’s start with the definition of Low-Code and No-Code development:
Low-Code Development
This approach supports the development team by decreasing the amount of ‘from scratch’ coding required, and creating a foundation of reusable code with components that become building blocks for future development. This development approach allows programmers to leverage low-code user interface components roughly 80% of development tasks, thereby limiting the manual coding efforts to 20% of developer time. Because low-code application development requires a knowledge of other tools and development skills, it is typically used by professional programmers with coding skills and knowledge. A Low Code development platform allows developers to extend component libraries and web frameworks to address specific use cases. Developers can work faster and more precisely with proven tools and combine coding and programming experience with tools designed for rapid software development.
No-Code Development
The No Code approach utilizes a visual workflow in an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), eliminating the need for manual coding. This technique creates a kind of ‘snap in’ system of components that developers can use and reuse to solve problems and create features and functionality. This closed system of tools restricts the developer by limiting use to pre-existing capabilities and user interface tools. The No-Code approach can provide a start-up with quick results and foundational features and allow them to enter the market and build visibility. Now that we have a better understanding of low-code/no-code app development, let us consider how technology research firms and publications see these development techniques.
According to the world-renowned Technology Research Firm, Gartner, ‘low-code platforms will be used in 65% of application development.’
‘As with any solution or platform choice, the right fit for your organization is based on your requirements, your technology landscape, your users, your products and services and other considerations.’
A recent survey of businesses revealed several primary reasons for using the Low-Code/No-Code approach.
- Accelerate Digital Innovation and Transformation
- Reduce Current IT Backlog and Increase Responsiveness
- Reduce Dependency on Professional Technology Skills, and Increase Developer Productivity
- Protect Against Technology Churn
- Improve Time to Market
If you are considering a low-code/no-code development project, you may wish to review the capabilities of the Creatio platform. Creatio is used today in many LCNC projects and has numerous capabilities and advantages.
Creatio is a well-recognized low-code, no-code development option that can be used for many purposes and in many industries.
