Automation and low-code software

Low-code software is a key tool in today’s organizations. With this type of tools, it is possible for users to adapt or design systems for the development of their work, according to the needs they already know well, from the experience they have gained in the corporation. This ability to adapt technology to business is indispensable today, when the pandemic has accelerated the adoption of IT systems for business success.

In addition to this, there are some data that allow us to predict the expansion of low code software:

Analysts are predicting big things for low code. Gartner expects the low-code market to grow 22.6% in 2021, to a value of $13.8bn. “While low-code application development is not new, a confluence of digital disruptions [and] hyperautomation has led to an influx of tools and rising demand,” said Fabrizio Biscotti, research vice president at Gartner.

As can be seen, it is precisely the context, the current confluence of variables in the contemporary world, which is highlighting the importance of facilitating access to business technology for all types of users. This democratization will make all departments of a company have the same level of competitiveness and all go at the same pace.

This changes the traditional way of working, because almost always the technology department of the organization has the best systems and goes faster than the rest of the productive sectors. For this reason, the IT department must almost always be supervising the use and adjustments to the programs managed by the company. With this change, there is now software that can be used not only by almost anyone, but designed and developed by anyone. Thus, low-code is growing in popularity with each passing day:

Low code is proving popular with developers, with Forester Research predicting that 75% of software development teams will have deployed low-code platforms by the end of the year. For these professional coders, low-code platforms are ready to use as a time-saving tool. But for enterprise organisations, the bigger prize on offer is equipping non-developers with the ability to create digital systems. Realising this potential may be more complex. (techmonitor.ai)

How low-code improves the automation process

One of the clearest problems with digitization and automation processes is that when the transition takes place, isolated processes are left behind that are not easily connected. Low-code programs can solve this problem because each employee is linked to the processes of the others through autonomous development, thus avoiding communication problems between activities. However, for this to be possible, the automation system must be flexible and allow different subsystems to be connected to its central program.

Therefore, the best option is usually what is known as Business Process Management, a system that integrates all the programs in use. For best results, it is best if the BPM suite recognizes all types of formats and file types, and can collect structured and unstructured information in cloud-based information stores for intelligent use.

So, low-code software serves in these automation cases as a bridge to unify all activities into one overall operation. In addition, the possibilities of low-code make the collaboration between the company that offers the BPM solution and the one that receives it more effective, because the users of the tool will be able to complement the tool’s functions with their own designs, without the need to ask for more complex software developments from the developing company.

We are building a world where any business idea can be automated in minutes. This is the most exciting benefit of low-code development unveils for organizations. Within five years, everyone will be a developer thanks to the technology! From software customization to complex apps, low-code is capable of equipping any employee with powerful tools for improved operational efficiency. (forbes.com)

Automation is definitely getting a boost with this type of software. The question to ask next is then, how to organize all this avalanche of new solutions for business tasks in the world? There is a need for a central intelligence that synthesizes and brings these possibilities to clear goals.

Therefore, our BPM software is capable of integrating programs regardless of their format and features. In addition, it allows a clear vision of the business objective so that all these new low-code applications are aligned with the business plan and with the particular organizational culture of each organization. It is a solution that takes full advantage of the possibilities of expanding the development of technological solutions. We want to be allies for the intelligent growth of our customers.
