According to Gartner, low-code platforms will be responsible for more than 65% of all application development by 2024. Low-code development is defined as software that allows users to use visual editors such as drag-and-drop editors to create complex, high functioning enterprise applications without having to write long, repetitive lines of code.

Low-code application development is an easy alternative to traditional, time-consuming application development methods. Therefore, many may mistake low-code technology as a lazy approach to application development. However, low-code software platforms are actually an extremely smart tool that businesses can use to increase their organizational efficiency and overall productivity.

Who Can Benefit From Low-code?

1) Companies that prioritize security

Companies that are required to handle large amounts of sensitive data and information can benefit from a low-code platform. Many low-code software solutions are equipped with automatic data encryption controls that can automatically detect and address security breaches.

Crust’s open-source, low-code software solutions can be hosted behind your business’s firewall, which can help further protect your organization’s security.

2) Coders who want to focus on innovation

Low-code platforms can help automate mundane, repetitive business processes that would have otherwise had to have been performed by a software developer or coder. According to Redhat, low-code platforms have the ability to reduce application development by up to 90%.

This then allows coders to focus on more innovative, higher-level organizational tasks, which will increase your business’s application development efficiency and overall productivity.

3) Citizen developers

The rise of low-code platforms has enabled citizen developers with little to no traditional coding experience to create complex, highly effective enterprise applications software.

Citizen development can help empower your organization’s employees, reduce the length of your application development cycle and keep up with changing industry trends.

Low-code features such as drag-and-drop tools and on-screen visual development clues can make citizen development easier than ever before. Studies show that approximately 41% of organizations have active citizen development initiatives.

4) Educational institutions

Low-code platforms can help significantly improve the learning process in educational institutions. Low-code software solutions can help coordinate and monitor academic curriculums, supervise student progress, and efficiently communicate with students, parents, and faculty. Furthermore, low-code platforms can help schools build their education management applications.

Corteza Low Code is equipped with rich, custom dashboards that can provide educational institutions with a 360-degree overview of student data.

5) Healthcare organizations

Low-code technology can enable healthcare organizations such as hospitals to automate several key business processes to enhance healthcare provision cycles and overall patient experiences. Furthermore, low-code technology can help collect, track and analyze patient data in a highly organized manner.

Corteza Low Code is the perfect low-code platform to help your business take its operations to the next level. It is equipped with graphic visualization features, chart-making tools, data-rich dashboards, visual editors, and much more. They can help your business increase its profitability in the long run.
