Low code development is a visual approach to developing complex software faster than building everything from scratch.

These solutions have lessened the need for a massive development team to create a single application. “It takes very little coding skill to create a low code app, but it does require expertise in using the platform,” says Sanjeev Verma, Founder & CEO, Voyant Business Solutions Ltd.

Now developers can focus on the customer experience and acquisition rather than managing a complex backend and infrastructure.

Low code in 2022 will continue to evolve and grow, especially with Cross-Platform development languages like Dart and frameworks like Flutter.

Who Can Low Code Help?

  • Businesses to go digital, which can have a significant impact on their bottom line
  • Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) who cannot afford considerable development costs and cannot hire developers
  • Startups and small business owners who don’t want to learn complex coding languages can focus only on business logic.
  • Enterprises that are looking for a quick way to deliver small projects with minimal efforts
  • Enterprises who want to create apps that can be easily integrated into their existing systems without having to make any significant changes
  • Getting started with low code doesn’t require any technical skills; it takes a few clicks to create your first app.

Low Code: The future

Here are three reasons why low code is the future.

  • Cost Savings

This approach to software development reduces the need for multiple teams. Hire two separate mobile teams (one for IOS and one for Android), and then another team for the web is inefficient. A standard code platform provides the ready-to-market infrastructure needed to quickly get your app up and running.

  • Agility

Low code platforms let business users create apps to automate their workflow with smaller design and development teams, speeding up time to market.

  • Flexibility

Platforms like Aortem and Flutter Flow are easy to use because of their simple drag and drop interface for both designers and developers. Users can change their product while collaborating with the backend developers to implement changes swiftly.
