Accessibility is a promise we’re keeping.

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)’s Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) states accessibility addresses discriminatory aspects related to equivalent user experience for people with disabilities. Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can equally perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with websites and tools. It also means that they can contribute equally without barriers.

Actively building and managing the Corteza platform, it quickly became apparent that we’re not 100% following our mission and dream of building a Digital Work Platform for Humanity if we don’t address the accessibility requirements and make our product usable and available to everyone.

How To Educate Children to Code?

Coding is one of the most relevant and in-demand skills in this digital age. While machines and applications are constantly evolving, it is becoming crucial for us to understand the codes that make them work.

Children are incredibly creative and learn things very quickly. Hence, the best time to start learning to code is when we are young. But directly delving into complex computer languages can be intimidating. It is thus best to start learning with low-code platforms.

A low-code platform allows app development through the use of a graphical user interface rather than traditional hand-coding. Low-code can be an excellent stepping stone for children who want to learn the coding and app development basics.

Did Corteza Become No-Code?

Studies have shown that in the next 3-5 years, approximately 65% of all application development will be done using in-house, no-code, or low-code platforms. The growing popularity of no-code platforms is revolutionising the kind of applications that businesses can create.

With Corteza’s newest release, which contains various new features, including visual workflow builders, we are now both low-code and no-code. If desired, application software programmers can still use code to develop their software. However, software developers can now develop complex applications with automation features without ever writing a single line of code.

What are Some Examples of Enterprise Software?

ERP (enterprise resource planning) software is defined as a specific type of software that organisations can use to manage and automate their day to day business processes and tasks such as accounting, project management, and supply chain operations. ERP systems link critical business processes to create an effective and efficient flow of company data and information throughout an organisation.

Research has shown that implementing an enterprise resource planning software system can lead to an overall improvement of business processes for 95% of organisations that do so. The digital technology and infrastructure evolve, and the amount of data that companies are required to record, track and maintain increases exponentially. That is why enterprise resource planning systems are becoming more and more vital for operating and managing a business properly.
