Low-Code No-Code or UDP Powered by Volt MX - Primer Series 1 / N

Week 4 - Blog 4. Keeping in line my committment to deliver one blog article here is the fourth one in the series enjoy the same..

Introduction - Digital Transformation

In today's world, digital transformation is extremely important and relevant. It is a critical factor for businesses to remain competitive and succeed in the digital era. Digital Transformation is essentially a process which requires organisations to embed technology across their businesses to achieve a fundamental change. It is all about achieving greater efficiency and business agility.

Digital transformation enables businesses to leverage innovative technologies and data analytics to enhance decision-making, improve customer experiences, and drive fundamental change.

Role of Low-Code and No-Code in Digital Transformation

Low-Code and No-Code Platforms can help in accelerating Digital Transformation.

  1. Low-Code Platforms: Low-Code platforms allow businesses to develop applications rapidly with minimal coding.
  2. No-Code Platforms: No-Code platforms take it a step further by eliminating the need for coding altogether. They provide intuitive visual interfaces and pre-built components, enabling non-technical users to build applications and automate workflows.

So in context of Low-Code No-Code we have essentially 3 main types of development approaches.

  1. Citizen Development:
  2. Citizen Development refers to the creation of applications and automation processes by individuals who are not professional developers or coders.
  3. Citizen developers primarily utilise Low-Code and No-Code platforms to build applications through visual interfaces, pre-built components, and drag-and-drop functionality.
  4. Assisted Development:
  5. Assisted Development involves collaboration between business users with domain expertise and IT professionals or more experienced developers. Business users leverage Low-Code/No-Code platforms, while IT professionals provide guidance, support, and additional development when necessary.
  6. Business users take the lead in creating applications using Low-Code/No-Code tools, while IT professionals offer assistance in ensuring that the solutions align with security, compliance, and integration requirements.
  7. Pro Code Development:
  8. Pro Code Development involves professional developers or experienced coders utilising Low-Code platforms to expedite the development process or streamline repetitive tasks.
  9. Professional developers use Low-Code platforms to accelerate certain aspects of the development process, such as integrating APIs, automating routine tasks, or rapidly prototyping solutions.

What is Unified Development Platform - UDP

With the multitude of tools, platforms, organisations in this space of Low-Code No-Code solutions unfortunately there is no single tool which does that effectively. We have some vendors / solutions which excel in one area but are found lacking in others as you can see below.

Current State of the Market - HCL Volt MX provides all the capabilities

This is where Unified Development Platform - UDP can fill that void. The basic goal of UDP is to bring together different development approaches and meet the varying requirements of citizen developers, business users and professional developers. So in essence UDP should be able to guarantee:

  • Support for Diverse User Groups
  • Unified Single Environment
  • Low-Code and No-Code Capabilities
  • Scalability and Extensibility
  • Collaboration and Governance
  • Multi Device Functionality
  • Analytics and Monitoring
  • Integration and Connectivity
  • Single Code Base - One Size Fits all
  • Single Infrastructure
  • Single License
