Innovation is not just a one-time competitive advantage for businesses anymore. Transforming the business from within and adapting with agility are now necessary for organizations to be sustainable in a digital age.
According to former Cisco CEO John Chambers, “80% of companies on the Forbes top 500 list are at risk of falling out of the competition within the next 10 years if they do not innovate.”
This statistic should be a telling sign for all organizations that even the top 500 companies are behind on a digital transformation. Digital transformations are large projects for businesses but the risk of neglecting to transform and the value of digitizing are much greater. Organizations have the task of changing their entire culture in the first place, and that alone is a major undertaking for large entities.
Fortunately, there are tools to help organizations through their transformation from instilling organizational change to developing innovation solutions. As stubborn company culture can be a hindrance to the company’s progression, making smalls steps to achieve and demonstrate immediate results can help lead to a greater shift in the organization’s mindset. CIOs across all industries are discovering the benefits of a no-code application development platform that provides them with the flexibility, ease-of-use and speed to make a transformation of any scale.
How no-code enables faster application development
There is an ongoing demand for rapid delivery of enterprise applications to streamline processes and adapt to customers. Yet, IT is often preoccupied with keeping the lights on and in turn, has a growing backlog of applications that don’t get built. By eliminating the need for code, you can also eliminate its setbacks. With a no-code platform, you enable more employees, with or without a technical background, to build applications, you can build faster, avoid issues, better customize applications to the end-user and develop a solution that better suits the organization.
No-code application development platforms enable citizen developers to build enterprise-grade applications quickly, easily and effectively. Traditional application development involves many complications within the coding process and then further in the implementation and scalability process. First of all, coding is time-consuming with unpredictable results. The typical problem with coding is that fixing one bug introduces three new bugs.
The development process with a no-code platform is improved in multiple ways. When building applications, the builder creates a prototype within IT's environment and tests the prototype quicker. If it fails, it fails quickly, so they can create the next iteration. When the application is created, IT steps in to implement, maintain and scale the application. The entire development process is made simpler and faster using a no-code platform. With faster application development, organizations can move and innovate faster.
