Solutions as enablers of digital transformation

Low-code/no-code solutions as enablers of digital transformation

The high dynamics of our world, which is characterized by VUCA—volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity—requires flexible and efficient work in software development, but also the sustainable, resource-saving, and cost-optimized use of modern technologies.

The low-code/no-code approach and the associated low-threshold application possibilities make it possible: software can be created faster, more cost-effectively, and by a significantly larger group of people.

Low Code

Low code is a method for developing applications easily, but it still requires basic programming knowledge or certain technical skills, such as the ability to write simple scripts or master specific commands.

No Code

No Code is a method for developing applications without writing your own program code. It therefore requires no knowledge of software development and is ideal for creating multiple simple workflows in a short period of time.

Current situation

Digitalization requires companies to implement innovations quickly and cost-effectively. This is the only way they can maintain their competitive edge in the market.

However, while the demand for digital products is growing, the shortage of IT specialists is increasing both in Germany and worldwide and is becoming one of the biggest obstacles to digital transformation.

Added to this are ever shorter development cycles and faster time-to-market. The pressure on IT departments is growing.

In this situation, no-code/low-code offers a promising approach that also offers interesting advantages for the banking industry.

The benefits of low-code/no-code

  • Alleviates IT staff shortages—especially in times of a global shortage of developers.

  • Enables a sustainable and resource-efficient infrastructure and way of working.

  • Leads to greater agility, as business units can adapt applications themselves and respond flexibly to market developments.
  • Relieves the burden on professional developers and enables modern, flexible, and efficient work.
  • Reduces time to market and errors through automation, enabling earlier value creation.
  • Optimizes costs for operating and making available applications that are used on a daily basis.

To ensure that the low-code/no-code approach is successful in your institution, it is crucial to select the right platform. In addition, you must define in advance what goal you want to achieve and what criteria the platform must meet to do so.

The following factors must also be taken into account:

  • Applications created with low-code/no-code platforms offer only limited customization options and are therefore not suitable, or only suitable to a limited extent, for highly specialized or very complex applications.
  • Seamless integration into existing systems can also be a challenge and involve additional effort.
  • In order to get employees excited about this technology, new skills must be developed within the team and knowledge gaps must be closed.
