Are you thinking about establishing a low-code platform in your company, but can’t decide due to the large selection of solutions and providers?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In this blog post, we explain why you should make your choice carefully and provide you with a guide to the criteria you should evaluate when making your decision – so that you ultimately invest in a low-code platform that will help you in the long term!<\/p>\n

A shorter time-to-market, capacity bottlenecks in the IT department or the desire for more flexibility on the market: the reasons for implementing a low-code platform are many and varied. In any case, at some point companies are faced with the all-important question: Which platform is right for me? <\/p>\n

ROI, acceptance, vendor lock-in: why you should invest wisely<\/strong><\/h3>\n

However, this decision is not so easy due to the numerous providers and solutions available. In our partner webinar “Setting the right course – How to find the low-code platform that will really help you in the long term<\/a>“, low-code expert Dr. Christian Straube from adesso Schweiz AG explains why it is extremely important to consider a wide range of criteria when making your choice. After all, the investment in a low-code platform should also offer real added value. <\/p>\n

Profitability as a success factor<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The recurring fees that companies pay for the use of a low-code platform include extensive services. Specifically, this is often either a ‘Software as a Service (SaaS)’ or alternatively a ‘Platform as a Service (PaaS)’ model. For the return on investment (ROI) to be achieved quickly, companies must also make full use of the services offered with the platform. “If the low-code platform is not actually used as a platform, the cost\/benefit calculation is usually negative,” explains Christian Straube. <\/p>\n

It doesn’t work without employee acceptance<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The use of a low-code platform democratizes software development. This means that more users are able to develop applications. “This requires clean governance, which is sometimes challenging. It won’t work at all without acceptance within the company,” emphasizes Christian Straube. The IT department must therefore set limits for citizen developers without restricting their creativity too much. For this to succeed, a high level of employee acceptance is essential. <\/p>\n

A long-term commitment needs to be carefully considered<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Last but not least, the introduction of a new technology is also associated with long-term commitment – keyword: vendor lock-in. Before companies invest in a new solution, they should therefore evaluate its suitability carefully. The advantage of low-code technology is that companies can quickly determine whether the platform meets the relevant requirements thanks to rapid application development<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Five key questions that companies should ask themselves during the selection process<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When it finally comes to the selection process, it is important that representatives from both the specialist departments and the IT department are involved in the decision-making process. This is the only way to unleash the full potential. The following five questions help to collect all requirements and ideas together in order to ultimately select the right low-code platform. <\/p>\n
