Forrester predicted that the software development world would experience significant changes in 2020. One of these changes is the popularity of low-code development platforms and using a more visualized approach to software. However, no one had any idea that most development teams will work remotely due to the worldwide health crisis. COVID-19 required resilience among development teams.
According to Forrester, developers adjusted well compared to other professions, even with the massive shift in workers. As proof, the digital economy did not come crashing down when the pandemic unexpectedly hit. While some are going back to their offices, many companies like LinkedIn will now allow their employees to work entirely remotely moving forward, removing in-office expectations.
However, officials continue to promote physical distancing, so many workers choose to work from home safely. Driving a greater need for new and improved software and applications.
Enterprises demand developers to pick up the pace of digital transformation, resulting in increased work hours and lengthened work weeks. Without the right solutions, there can be surprising consequences. Developers can end up stressed, burned out, and unable to deliver in time. This tension can drive innovation and enable developers to get creative.
Low-code development platforms like Profound.js Spaces offer a creative way to catch up with the demand. Providing developers a solution to build custom applications 10x faster through a graphical user interface(GUI). It significantly reduces the need to write code, which significantly reduces development time.
Low-code development platforms have risen to the forefront of digitizing the socially distanced world. Profound.js Spaces offers pre-written code and drag-and-drop GUI functionality, which diminishes the complexity of the development cycle. The building blocks of ready-made modules enable businesses to adapt to the needs of the pandemic-hit world.
Low-Code Development is a Remedy for Rapid Digitization
Businesses quickly adopted low-code development platforms during and post-pandemic because they helped simplify the development process and reduce the development time. Low-code streamlined the path from conceptualization to creation, and allowed organizations of all sizes and IT capabilities to have absolute control of the product development process. This shift changed the view regarding low-code because it directly puts the capability for technical problem-solving into the hands of those running the company.
Low-code development is not solely for multimillion-dollar companies, but it can also help low-overhead small and medium enterprises. A Gartner report predicts, “By 2023, over 50% of medium to large enterprises will have adopted an LCAP (low-code application platform) as one of their strategic application platforms.”
Budding startups are searching for a way to quickly launch their solution to a gap in the market needs. Large companies need to upgrade their digital platform and embrace low-code to create scalable applications in the hyper-competitive COVID-19 era rapidly.
As the dust settles on the health crisis, businesses will assess how they coped with the massive need for digitization. Low-code will undoubtedly have a place in their next move. However, it is critical to perfectly understand how to integrate these software platforms into a long-term business strategy.
