Shadow IT and governance
IT might be resistant to low code adoption.
According to Jason Bloomberg, an IT industry analyst, “IT has been telling business stakeholders for years that the six month/million dollar plan is the only way to build enterprise software,” but now, according to Simon Chan, Founder and CEO of DigiVue Consulting, “the same systems can be implemented by smaller players at a fraction of the price and in a fraction of the time,” which “has leveled the playing field.”
What might appear to be a level playing field to a business user, however, can appear to be a threat to IT. IT has long had to resist the encroachment of so-called “shadow IT,” and a low code program might appear to add fuel to that fire. Imagine, the IT admin might fear, if employees were not only adopting SaaS tools without permission but were building apps without permission?
