Low-Code No-Code Development (LCNC)

A low-code platform is a platform that helps develop and deploy applications easily using visual tools such as drag-and-drop and a graphical user interface- that too without proficient coding knowledge.  

A low-code no-code platform provides a base to create apps that automate every step of a process and enable the rapid delivery of any software solution. It disrupts the traditional ways of business and IT to nurture and boost continuous collaboration.  

No-code platforms are built for citizen developers who may not know, nor do they need to know, any actual programming languages to use the product. The greatest pro of no-code platforms is that they require no prior coding knowledge, so anybody can quickly create business applications.

1. Anyone can build: The biggest and most significant benefit is the fact that just about anyone can develop low-code no-code apps now! You don’t need technical experience or knowledge about code and can deploy them within the span of a few hours!
   
   
2. Intelligent Spends: Low-code no-code replaces all IT and professional costs and saves all the overhead costs. Moreover, because it is fast, it saves man-hours and that translates to saved revenue in the long run.
   
   
3. Excellent agility:  Low-code no-code development delivers excellent agility by automating everything from building to testing. The teams will, thus, have more time to actually get the work done instead of wasting it preparing for work!
   
   
4. Enrich & Relish Innovation: Low-code and no-code development ease IT’s burden and gives citizen developers the power to create their own apps encouraging creativity with innovation!
   
   
5. Incredible productivity: Low-code no-code has the ability to shoot up your business’ productivity and efficiency because it streamlines most tasks, notifies you of bottlenecks (and removes them), and reduces steps that are hindering the process and/or are unnecessary.

1. User Interface builder: One can build an entire web page with just one function: drag and drop. Everything from the header to the footer, the form, tables, and images can be assembled within minutes.
   
   
2. Workflow Management: Workflow modelling is not just fast; it is also delightful. It lets you manage all your data seamlessly without ever indulging in the language of code.
   
   
3. Seamless Integration & easily customizable:  Low-code no-code platforms provide the ability to seamlessly integrate with any third-party applications and customize to suit your needs, with little to no coding.
   
   
4. Speed: With low-code no-code, you can build apps for multiple platforms simultaneously within the span of hours and show stakeholders working examples.
   
   
5. Rapid deployment: With low-code no-code, pre-deployment impact assessments make sure the apps work as they were intended to. Even if there are any unexpected events, you can roll back changes with a single click.

Low-code development is a way for developers to develop applications quickly and with minimum hand-coding.

No-code apps are made by and for citizen developers who do not necessarily know, or need to know, any actual programming languages to create apps. 

While no-code platforms are more suited for business users and citizen developers since the use of the platform does not require any coding, the low-code platforms are suited for power users (business users with technical skills) and professional developers.

No-code low-code platforms are near magical. They offer endless possibilities to build any kind of applications based on business needs. All businesses need is an idea and with the right platform to implement it in minutes and hours. Some of these applications include:

• Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
• Project and Task Management
• Help Desk Management
• Travel and Expense Management
• Human Resource Management System (HRMS)
• Employee Self Service
• Asset Management
• Procurement

The right low-code no-code platforms support the entire application development life-cycle, right from ideation to deployment and maintenance. Low-code no-code helps enterprises redefine the impact, speed, and delivery of enterprise solutions with a high focus on the functionality, logic, and end-user experience! 

A citizen developer is a non-professional developer who builds applications for use by other people. Although they do not report directly to IT, they use tools such as low-code platforms that are sanctioned by IT.

Becoming a citizen developer is not as daunting as it sounds because it requires no coding knowledge! All you need to do is find the right no-code platform that allows you to experiment with ideas to create effective solutions.

Quixy is helping citizen developers across verticals build applications in days and weeks to automate their manual processes and drive efficiency, productivity, and transparency.

This is the biggest myths. 

Low-code and no-code apps are currently being used for complex and small-scale enterprise applications in organizations across the globe. While traditional no-code platforms are ideal for simple departmental applications, there are advanced no-code platforms like Quixy that facilitate business users to build complex enterprise-grade applications.  

Low-code can be used to build even more complex applications, however, these platforms require technical skills to do so. 

Low-code no-code apps are helpful for businesses of all sizes and in many different trades, as well as for individual professionals.
