Low-code insights by Flowfactory

We all know or think we know who the one-percenters may be, but have you ever considered who the real one-percenters are? Let’s not think in terms of wealth here, let’s consider the bottleneck of human progress...

Listen in on this short chat between Dr. James McCabe, an award-winning Oxford scholar, and Flowfactory CEO Fredrik Lindqvist. They talk about how Flowfactory think differently to the rest of the market - a discussion that leads them into the topic of natural evolution and digital literacy. Quite a leap in a chat of only three minutes :) Get inspired!

I just read this very interesting article from MIT Sloan: How Leading Organizations Are Getting The Most Value from IT. My immediate takeaways align with our strategy (warning for confirmation bias) to provide a business low-code platform to let our customers transform their businesses with maximum ability to handle the "unknown, unknowns."

Imagine the magic of bringing an idea to life during a requirements meeting. Perhaps you do this already using a whiteboard or tablet, or even paper napkins. But consider the impact you could have if a solutions architect configures the processes, business flows and the attributes into the application during the discussion.

No business is safe from digital disruption. Even if you have embraced cloud and on-demand systems in your IT organization, your business is still vulnerable to market and competitive pressures to stay connected in real time with customers and partners. Technology is pervasive - and that means employees and customers want to work on the go, connect seamlessly and have up to the minute data at their fingertips. Their expectations are high. Oh, and did we mention that this all needs to be secure, reliable and flexible?

Welcome to one of the most powerful opportunities in app development: Low-code. The low-code movement is gaining momentum because it addresses one of the greatest modern business challenges: Efficiently responding to customer need. What would you do if you could literally bring new ideas to life for applications - in a matter of days or weeks rather than months or years? Go ahead. Take a moment and think. We'll wait. Yes, we too have lots of ideas. Most businesses do.

There is almost no company where digital transformation is not a top strategic priority in 2017. On the agenda of most business units, you’ll find digital initiatives for new ways to interact with the market or to work more efficiently. The specifications are seldom very exact, but what’s clear is that the development needs to happen quickly if not to lag the market. Business teams are clamouring for quick releases, and IT teams are overwhelmed.

Software development success has always been a function of getting the right people in the right roles with a viable design and investment. That certainly seems a recipe for effective collaboration!

Do you and your organization come up with great ideas?

Three things that low-code can do for your digital business journey. Low-code is a fast evolving area right now and often referred to as a revolution in the IT-sector. And it comes timely: the global business climate has never been as tough as it is today, in our customer-oriented society. To meet the augmenting demands of the market, and to keep up with (or better stay ahead of) the competition, businesses are challenged to develop applications faster and better than ever before. This is where low-code comes in.
