Let’s understand how low-code tools have become a facilitator in the web development process as they help build complete web systems securely and quickly, resulting in substantial productivity gains while dramatically reducing process costs.
Scriptcase is a solution for web application development and business intelligence reporting in a fast and collaborative way.
- But what is a low-code tool anyway?
Low-code tools are those tools that require little programming for the development of systems / applications, thus, it can be said that only with basic programming it is possible to implement structured systems quickly and safely.
They are becoming very popular and trustworthy among developers, since the tools feature the features and services that customers generally request the most. Being constantly updated, these tools focus primarily on increasing the productivity of the company, while reducing the time spent on application development, reducing the technical repertoire required by the team and the number of employees to create structured systems .
Being one of the strongest technology trends in the market, it is analyzed, according to research conducted by Gartner, as a type of agile development tool that will tend to represent 50% of the production of corporate systems and applications by the year 2020.
- What are the impacts of the tool within a company?
Well, first we can talk about the main element that low-code tools impacts, which is agility. The speed at which the tool can return good results is very fast and safe. And, as a result, it shows increased productivity, while encouraging teams to work more peacefully, quality and agility in projects, without compromising the final product in development.
It also reduces the need to ‘start from zero’, as it drives the work to be more assertive and productive, allowing energy and time to be spent on activities that are really needed. This makes the low-code tools make the development processes totally intuitive, since the code has a much lower level of complexity, which directly influences elements such as maintenance, creation of new features and verification of requirements.
The Scriptcase environment is designed so that people with little developmental knowledge can create systems as well as to facilitate and reduce the time spent in the build process for those developers who have a solid programming knowledge.
When using a low-code tool, it’s totally possible to prototype the project in a simple and fast way, giving the necessary support for the development and delivery of the product to the client in a more precise way, saving the need to spend time in reworking, since there will necessarily be few lines of source code to be analyzed in the face of a possible bug or vulnerability, causing the developer to focus only on the business rules, the most important part of the system, and to make the software closer to the end customer.
Another important issue is the reduction of operating costs, so that once the need for investments in the development process is reduced, it is possible to continue to maintain the company’s investment cycles, while allowing the redirection innovation areas.
What’s more, this process increases the added value of the product as it facilitates collaboration and data sharing. And this process, if well managed, and having a good low-code tool like Scriptcase in your background, it can build a kind of ‘virtuous cycle’ where each application is better than the previous one, as well as less costly to create.
Low-code tools makes the company adapt to the conditions demanded by the market. And what conditions would these be? I believe that we can already conclude this based on what we have already said, in a scenario where delivery speed, demand increase, innovation charge and more precise applications are claimed characteristics, the company needs to seek to be within this dynamic, while conditioning their efforts to excel in a competitive environment.
We can say that low-code develops a scaling capability for the company, since it allows the expansion / reduction of production at any time, without compromising the deadlines or overloading the staff.
It allows even small teams to drive significant digital transformations at the corporate level, reducing the risks, costs, and delays of traditional development while delivering powerful, customizable software.
Therefore, the more agility in development, the quicker the transition and recognition of low-code as a standard method for companies that want to be ahead of the game.
