To accelerate digital transformation, no-code software is required.

No-code software is here, and it is here to stay. It is incredibly adaptable. Even when integrating with other apps or systems, comprehensive business enterprise platforms can now be built without writing a single line of code.

The sooner companies understand how no-code and low-code may help them quicken their digital transformation, the better. No-code and low-code development are currently gaining traction, and with so many benefits that are relevant to today’s business environment, many organizations can no longer afford to ignore them. Embracing change will enable organizations to overcome obstacles faster than expected and achieve long-term benefits without experiencing additional costs.

Not only does no-code and low-code software accelerate the process, but it can also increase the value of digital transformation. Isn’t that exactly what many businesses require these days?

So, what exactly is no-code software?

Put simply, no-code or low-code software is software that can be configured without manually writing lines of code. In an APM Digest article, Agiloft CTO Colin Earl said, “No-code platforms make it easy to build highly-customized enterprise workflows and reconfigure them in a matter of days based on user feedback or changes to the desired processes.”

By any definition, no-code software is rapidly transforming the market and leaving traditional, code-heavy software developers behind. There are several reasons for this disruption, but here are seven (7) of the most significant ones.

Adaptability

No-code software is extremely configurable by design, which means it can adapt to meet any of the customer’s needs, regardless of the size, industry vertical, or planned application of a company. No-code software can adapt to fit any niche, whether it’s a CLM system with specialized rights and notifications, a comprehensive ITSM solution with external customer support, or any other complex workflow or business process.

Quick deployment

The capacity to deploy no-code quickly, in a matter of weeks rather than the many months or years it takes to develop typical enterprise software for huge businesses, is perhaps its most significant advantage. By eliminating the need for specialized coding, no-code software automates 80% (percent) of the process. It’s so quick that a unique demo tailored to a customer’s exact workflow may be developed in a matter of hours, dramatically reducing the vendor selection and RFP process.

Customer-designed solutions

No-code software provides truly customer-centric software, where the design process begins with what the customer needs rather than what the software can or cannot accomplish, thanks to a new level of configurability. Drag-and-drop workflows, WYSIWYG email templates, and HTML-enabled end-user portals are just a few of the innovative capabilities that allow for easy customization for discerning brands and businesses. These features allow for not just quick deployment, but also a new degree of customer-centric configurability in contract administration, customer support, ITSM, and whole corporate enterprise platforms.

Automation and AI

Automation in the form of machine learning and artificial intelligence is altering all kinds of organizations, including government, education, healthcare, and non-profits, thanks to the ever-expanding applications of digital technology. No-code and Low-code platforms boost efficiency and reduce the risk of deploying digital systems by providing highly flexible automation. Organizations gain a new degree of dexterity by customizing their systems to match the most complex workflows and automating those operations to free up time that can be spent better on customers.

Furthermore, no-code software’s ability to readily interact with external automated systems and apps gives it a significant edge over legacy systems, which must be updated every few years as technology advances.

Easy to update, even in-house

The admin-friendly configurability of no-code software, whether through wizards or a simple browser-based interface, is one of the reasons it is so quick to deploy. That implies that businesses can easily train and hire their own personnel to administer their platforms, including adding new features that would take a long time and a lot of money to accomplish with traditional code-heavy systems. Because of their simplicity, some businesses have begun to design unique systems entirely in-house without incurring any development costs.

Reduced short & long term TCO

Quick software deployments are inherently less expensive and complicated than code-heavy systems. This is where no-code software excels. Considering that there are no customized codes to maintain, these cost reductions begin with the initial deployment and continue throughout the system’s life cycle. Furthermore, its configurability accommodates evolving business processes, apps, security requirements, and other factors, allowing businesses to adjust over time. This corresponds to a low total cost of ownership (TCO) for both short-term and long-term use of the product.

Scalability

No-code software’s capacity to scale to meet the needs of growing organizations, including both small businesses and major multinationals, is the keystone that establishes no-code software as a leading technology. The core pieces of a no-code platform are modular, allowing for continuous structures and complexity to be built upon them without any customized coding for extension or feature user restrictions or platform size constraints. This is especially true for browser-based platforms and SaaS solutions, because cloud-based corporate software is only limited by the performance of a company’s network.

There is an urgency for digital transformation

The problems that many businesses are facing today require immediate attention. Organizations can no longer afford to spend weeks or months developing a single solution. IT leaders are constantly under pressure to provide timely responses and make effective decisions. This is where low-code and no-code come into play.

Of course, some concerns come with implementing no-code, low-code. IT leaders are used to following specific strategies and techniques. No-code and low-code developments come with risks. It is, therefore, crucial to address the concerns and explore how no-code low-code can address specific challenges, which can be data security, on-time delivery, costs, employee satisfaction, etc. So, what should happen? IT leaders should require a solution that addresses the challenges quickly and efficiently while reducing risks. No-code or low-code software is accelerating digital transformation in the Legal-tech and Service Management landscape.

“At Adaptive we’ve seen a rapid increase in customers leveraging No-code to help transform their internal legal processes such as managing NDA requests to more complex licensing agreements between vendors, suppliers and their customers,” says Gerhard Roux, Sales Director at Adaptive. ” Our customers typically go live within 6-8 weeks from initiation of their projects, so they start to realize the value in less than 2 months!”
