Amid pressure to meet the demands of tech-savvy consumers and to streamline and automate processes, companies across the globe are transforming digitally.
This all equates to greater demand on company IT departments, especially the employees working at the digital coalface, those tasked with actually building the solutions.
Among the tools that can help ease the burden on IT staff are low-code platforms, which allow profesional developers to quickly create applications using a drag-and-drop interface instead of having to input thousands of lines of code manually.
To find out more, BNamericas spoke with Jason Bloomberg. President of Intellyx, a US industry analysis and advisory firm focused on digital transformation, Bloomberg also talked about no-code, which people can use to build applications without having to have any programming skills whatsoever.
Bloomberg was sponsored by Latin American banking technology firm VeriTran to write a book on low-code, called Low-Code for Dummies. VeriTran, with offices in Latin America and the US, offers a low-code platform that is used by more than 50 banks, reaching 14mn users who safely run more than 10bn transactions annually.
BNamericas: Can you tell us a little about low-code?
Bloomberg: Low-code is a market category that includes products that are both tools and platforms that enable developers to build applications more quickly, in a streamlined visual fashion that requires little or no hand-coding.
So it accelerates application development and also improves the quality of the resulting application.
