The Power of Repeatable Patterns with Low Code

The way that people work is changing and organizations are constantly tasked with creating new applications that allow employees to meet their goals. One of the main strategies that companies are using to help bridge this gap is low-code development.

While previous programming iterations relied on intensive coding from professional developers, low-code development offers a simplified version of application development. Drag and drop functionality and basic guidance allows teams to build apps for their own use, saving time and resources for those teams while also freeing up developers to work on more complex tasks.

Building Powerful Low-Code Apps

Microsoft Power Platform has emerged as one of the top solutions for low-code development through its Power Apps tool. It relies on the power of repeatable patterns to help users quickly build professional-quality applications to use in their essential workflows.

Application development often requires users to create similar forms or workflows. Microsoft’s AI-powered assistant Copilot can identify these patterns and suggest templates, hastening the process of low-code app development, while ensuring a consistent theme and feel throughout all applications built with Microsoft Power Platform. This consistency can help improve user experience; even as new applications are built to accommodate shifts in the market.

Low Code and the Clean Core

As digital transformation and the move to SAP S/4HANA become less hypothetical and more of a daily reality, SAP organizations are seeking to find a balance within their SAP landscape. On the one hand, many teams rely on unique workflows and customized code. On the other hand, it is vital that SAP organizations maintain a clean core to ensure that their landscape has the agility they need.

Low-code development can help SAP organizations maintain a clean core by developing customizations outside of the core system. This allows users to still create and maintain the customized workflows they need while reducing technical debt within SAP S/4HANA.

Conclusion

With new obstacles constantly emerging, businesses need agility and flexibility to meet any challenges that present themselves. However, most companies do not have the time or resources to find new solutions or have their IT teams develop wholesale applications in time to solve these issues.

Low-code application development from SAP partners like Microsoft Power Platform offer a unique solution to these problems. By democratizing the application development process, organizations can become more agile and productive, as users are able to craft solutions to meet their specific business needs. These applications can often improve over time, as Copilot identifies patterns and provides suggestions for users to create scalable and impactful solutions.
