Use cases for Low code platforms
Low code platforms enable rapid delivery of applications by providing visual approaches such as drag-and-drop that involve minimal coding. A more user-friendly and packaged approach enables programmers to deliver applications faster. However, low code also promises to put the ability to create at least basic applications at the hands of even non-technical business users.
With labor and skillset in short supply, low-code platforms allow for professional IT talent to focus on high-complexity, high-impact applications while avoiding business user frustration due to inordinate delays to meet their demands. In addition, many low code platforms also offer functionality to assist with migration of code such as ABAP code to the cloud, as well as data to the cloud.
Components of Low Code Development Platforms
A typical low-code development platform comprises the following components:
- Visual Integrated Development Environment to define application logic and data models
- Integrations to SAP and non-SAP applications or data sources to manage access, modifications or storage of data
- Application Life Cycle Manager to build, deploy, and manage applications for testing, staging and production environments
While low code holds promise, there are challenges cited by SAP customers in the above-mentioned survey such as security (45%), governance (34%), and migration satisfaction (34%). Read article “Governance for Low-code Platforms” on recommendations on governance for low code platforms.
SAP is investing in its own platform to provide strong low code capabilities to its customers. Several other vendors are innovating with special functionality, sometimes for specific industries.
