Why The Future Is No-Code RPA - Issue #70

Why The Future Is No-Code

There is no doubt that enterprise software development has become more challenging. With increasing pressure for more compliant tools in highly regulated industries, budget cuts, lack of the appropriate staff, changing requirements and increased pressure for faster deployment, IT teams are working around the clock yet still unable to keep up with the workload.

Furthermore, as modern technologies emerge, the management of legacy systems is becoming time consuming and more costly than the no-code alternative.

It is important to note that traditional coding practices are not going anywhere and will be needed for more complex integrations, but with business users increasing ten-fold compared to developers, IT teams can leverage no-code to build low complexity applications within minutes instead of weeks and focus on mission critical projects instead.

Why It's Important: Simon Kertonegoro, CEO of MyMetaverse and marketing adviser at NFT giant Enjin, described the change as "a landmark case for the NFT industry."

Soon, "NFTs will be sold on websites, games, apps and decentralized marketplaces all over the internet" and will be used in iOS apps as well, he said.

In a commissioned study of IoT decision makers conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Siemens, 46% of respondents reported that partners developing vertical industry applications would be the most helpful to their organizations. At 43%, OEMs who incorporate edge technologies into their devices was the second top response.

The notion of non-technical employees creating business applications outside the purview and control of IT can be very uncomfortable for CIOs. But, as more organizations implement low- and no-code RPA software as part of digital transformation efforts, wringing every efficiency they can find out of their technology investments, “citizen developers” are playing increasingly important roles.
