What is low code?

The demand for programmers on the market is constantly growing, and their number is disproportionate to the needs of new technologies. Low-code platforms can accelerate the optimization of business processes by using mechanisms that do not require programming work.

For years, we have been observing the ongoing digital transformation, which means that process management in the enterprise requires more IT tools. New applications, programs, solutions and platforms are needed to improve the operations of organizations operating in a dynamically changing reality. At the same time, there is a shortage of qualified programmers on the market who could provide them. Most organizations are therefore faced with the challenge of improving their systems, while not having the resources to optimize them.

The answer to the lack of IT specialists may be to reduce the demand for their services. Low-code platforms come to the rescue, which allow people with no coding experience to build applications.

Citizen Developers

Low-code platforms make it possible to easily and quickly create applications without involving programmers. This solution allows for the introduction of business ideas by employees who do not know coding languages, commonly called Citizen Developers. Each employee can be trained in the field of application development and be independent of the programmer. Low-code and Citizen Developers will not replace traditional programming, but they can relieve it to a large extent.

Low-code platforms

Low-code is a programming technique that uses a small amount of code. Thanks to the Drag & Drop mechanism, low-code platforms allow visual creation of applications without having advanced knowledge of programming languages. Platforms of this type are easy to use, use graphical generators and built-in components. Designing applications in them is like putting together a puzzle from ready-made elements such as tables, edit fields, selection lists, charts and other graphic elements. The entire process of creating and modifying applications is fast and agile, saving time and money.

nAxiom Platform

The nAxiom platform is a low-code solution created in 2019 by LLCD. It helps organizations automate internal and external processes and efficiently manage data and documents. It consists of 4 modules (Workflow Manager, Document Manager, UX/UI Builder and Data Modeler), it is flexible, intuitive and easy to use.  

Advantages of technology

The tool is dedicated to companies where:

• there is a need to modify existing processes,
• implementing processes is time-consuming,
• there is a lack of management staff and programmers,
• IT systems are not integrated with each other,
• quick response to changing customer needs is important,
• cost reduction is a priority.

Summary

Business needs of enterprises are growing, processes require automation and adaptation to changing market requirements. The need to use low-code platforms therefore appears in every organization that wants to quickly increase productivity and achieve a competitive advantage. Thanks to the use of low-code technology, programming is now much faster, less complicated and accessible to a larger number of people.
