Low-code and no-code platforms are revolutionising application development by empowering technical and non-technical users to quickly and efficiently build powerful applications. These platforms provide intuitive visual interfaces and pre-built templates that enable users to create complex workflows, automate processes, and deploy applications without writing extensive lines of code.  By simplifying development, low-code and no-code tools open up software creation to a wider range of contributors, from professional developers looking to accelerate delivery times to business users aiming to solve specific problems independently. This democratisation of development reduces the demand for IT resources and fosters a culture of innovation and agility within organisations. The impact of low-code and no-code technology extends beyond just speed and accessibility; it’s transforming how businesses adapt to change and scale their digital solutions. These platforms allow companies to quickly respond to evolving customer needs, regulatory requirements, and competitive pressures without the lengthy timelines associated with traditional development cycles.  In this episode, Paulina Rios Maya, Head of Industry Relations, speaks to Michael West, Analyst at Lionfish Tech Advisors about LCNC platforms and their benefits.  Key Takeaways: Low-code and no-code platforms enable business solutions without coding.These platforms broaden the developer base to include non-technical users.Choosing the right platform involves considering functionality, standards, and vendor viability.Low-code platforms can handle enterprise-level applications effectively.AI integration is transforming how applications are developed.Democratisation of development addresses the shortage of professional developers.The market for low-code and no-code platforms is rapidly evolving.Future trends will focus on AI capabilities and user experience.
