In this digital era, individuals and organizations have become heavily dependent on online applications for personal and professional uses. In fact, IDC forecasted that over 500 million digital apps and services will be developed and deployed using cloud-native solutions by this year.

According to Kissflow, about 70% of new business applications will use low-code and/or no-code development technologies by 2025. App development might then shift from traditional programming or coding to application assembly and integration performed by teams of users themselves.

It's safe to say that this coding development solution is a breakthrough in business. But how will it benefit your company or organization? Learn from the business executives below.

1. High Coding Efficiency

Traditional programming requires time-consuming coding that impacts project timelines. What's good about low-code and/or no-code development is its operational efficiency, allowing developers and users to save a significant amount of time. In fact, 451 Research reported that this solution can reduce the app development time by 50-90%.

Jim Pendergast, Senior Vice President at altLINE Sobanco, can attest to this. "Low-code/no-code solutions have revolutionized our approach to web and app development. With high coding efficiency, we're able to save valuable time and redirect our focus towards our core competency. It's a game-changer that empowers our team to deliver results with speed and precision."

2. Increased Coding Productivity

Operational efficiency translates to a boost in productivity. Instead of wasting time writing custom codes, developers can easily and quickly build necessary applications, and users can soon use these apps to boost their productivity. Meanwhile, others can prioritize their core competencies instead of focusing on app development during the process.

Stephan Baldwin, Founder of Assisted Living, has seen the value of low code/no code development for its website maintenance and app creation. “Our hired developers have achieved remarkable efficiency and productivity in the development process. They seamlessly maintain our website and successfully create a health monitoring app, all while ensuring our assisted-living operations don’t get disrupted and run smoothly.”

3. Improved Project Collaboration

Every enterprise pursues business projects, whether launching new products, expanding to new markets, or creating apps. However, they need robust project collaboration, where team members work together efficiently and productively towards common business goals. Unfortunately, traditional programming with complex coding can be complicated for your team.

Anthony Martin, Founder and CEO of Choice Mutual, has taken advantage of low-code/no-code development. "This business solution has revolutionized project collaboration within our organization. The visual interface and intuitive tools enable seamless communication and collaboration among managers, designers, and developers. It's a transformative approach that fosters teamwork and drives our company's success."

4. Enhanced Agility and Flexibility

There's no denying the evolving business landscape, changing consumer demands, and advancing technology. Companies must be agile and flexible enough to adapt to changes in business to gain a competitive advantage. This notion essentially applies to app development as well.

Mark Varnas, Principal SQL Server DBA/Consultant at Red9, has seen the potential benefits of low-code/no-code development. “ Little to no programming knowledge is required for low/no-code development, it also enables rapid prototyping and deployment. Moreover, it empowers business users to create solutions without relying on IT teams, which may be overwhelmed with other tasks. These platforms can be valuable tools for creating applications faster, testing ideas, and empowering non-technical users to contribute to the development process.”

5. Easy Integration and Scalability

The digital landscape has paved the way for the rise of applications extensively used in business. However, both companies and users now demand easy app integration and business scalability. That's where low-code and/or no-code development comes into the picture.

Eric Mills, the owner of Lightning Card Collection, has begun incorporating the low-code/no-code solution into their app development processes. “Our contracted developers can seamlessly integrate apps into diverse data sources and services. This approach ensures smooth operations as they maintain our website and create an app for our services. Such flexibility allows us to scale our business up and down.”

6. Coding Opportunities for Non-experts

It looks like that the low-code/no-code development is for almost everyone. The low-code platform is for developers with minimal hand coding, while the no-code platform is for business users with templates and tools. That's the beauty of this development approach since it caters to non-technical people.

Linda Shaffer, Chief People Operations Officer at Checkr, has leveraged the low-code/no-code development. “This solution has opened up coding opportunities to individuals without technical expertise and programming knowledge. This inclusive approach has allowed us to tap into the talents of our team members, empowering them to contribute to our app development processes.”

7. Significant Cost Savings

Finally, the primary benefit of the low-code and/or no-code development approach is cost savings. Generally, app development, especially traditional programming, can be expensive as it takes time, requires money, and demands resources.

Gerald Lombardo, CEO at cauZmik, has seen how the low-code/no-code solution helps them save money on web and app development. "This approach has enabled us to improve our website and build an app without the burden of exorbitant costs. Such a solution empowers us to allocate resources more effectively and achieve our business goals efficiently.”

Final Words: Keeping up with Coding Advancements

The expert insights of CEOs prove how beneficial employing low-code and/or no-code development is for business. This innovative coding approach can help your company in several ways, from increasing efficiency to ensuring agility and flexibility to achieving cost savings.

Take some of the words from business executives above. They have employed the low-code and/or development approach for their companies. They’re looking to reap many of its potential benefits for the good of their businesses!
