Need To Build Software?

You don’t have to start from scratch.

More and more often, IT leaders struggle to find an off-the-shelf product that meets their requirements. They need a custom solution. Moving from buying software to building software is a huge leap…until now.

Build software. Why?

A common reason IT leaders decide to build software is because they can’t find an off-the-shelf solution that meets their requirements. Their only alternative is to build. 

Another reason to start building software is the need for all industries to adapt their business to catch up with the software disruption seen in the last 10 years. Software is eating the world – Spotify, Uber and AirBnB have disrupted their industries. Then, in 2020, COVID-19 disrupted the world, changing how enterprises perceive digital; it was part of their strategy before the pandemic and now it is the strategy.

The limitations of software packages and SaaS are restricting companies’ ability to compete in this new digital world. It can be expensive, difficult to customise or integrate and they can’t differentiate from their competitors with an off-the-shelf product.

Building software used to be a risky business as traditional coding makes it very difficult, costly and time consuming, especially for non-tech companies. There is a better way.

From buying to building. The big change.

There’s a better way to build software

Coding by hand is quickly being replaced by low-code. Just like in manufacturing, where 3D printing has made prototype development 10x faster and much cheaper, organisations are using low-code to build software faster, better, future-proof and more affordable compared to manual coding. By using low-code, most software can be created through visual representation, and large sections of the codebase don’t need to be written from scratch, making application development:

  • Faster: enterprise solutions can be built in weeks rather than months or years.
  • Better: greater UX by default in any device, easy to change and expand, and with the functionality tailored to the users’ needs.
  • More Cost-Effective: smaller and more productive teams can deliver more in less time.
  • Future-proof: technology that stays up-to-date and reduces technical debt.
     

Using the right low-code platform, IT leaders can build software with confidence. Now it is possible for them to build cutting-edge custom applications that exactly fit their organisation’s needs, for a fraction of the cost, time and risk compared to using traditional coding.

As with all buzzwords, low-code is poorly defined and abused by software vendors,  creating confusion in the marketplace. We have prepared a free e-book to clearly explain low-code so you can better understand the “The Light and the Dark Side of Low-Code”.
