Low-Code Development

Low-Code Development

Build and deploy the applications your teams need without waiting in a development queue. Low-code gives people with and without coding experience a governed way to solve process problems themselves, using pre-built components and drag-and-drop design.

What is Low-Code Development?

Low-code development enables users, with or without extensive coding experience, to create and deploy applications quickly using pre-built components and drag-and-drop interfaces. Case management applications are a common starting point. Your team solves more problems, faster, without every request becoming a development project.

Why Low Code Development

Turn Your Idea Into An Application. Fast.

With low-code development, the person who understands the problem can build the solution, even with next to no coding experience. Ideas that used to sit in a backlog become working applications, one at a time.

Accelerated Development Time

Reduce the time required to build and deploy applications. Your team can respond to a new requirement in days rather than quarters, without waiting for a development cycle to open up.

Enable More Staff To Contribute

Opening up application development to more staff changes who can solve a problem. Low-code platforms give technical and non-technical users a common environment, which improves collaboration between IT and business teams and means the person closest to the process can contribute to fixing it.

Cost Efficiency

Visual development tools and reusable components mean your existing team can take on work that used to require specialist development time. That is capacity you did not have before, applied to the backlog of small applications that never made it to the top of the list.

Greater Flexibility

Low-code development also makes it easy to quickly update applications as business requirements evolve, since it doesn’t require extensive recording. You adapt on your own timeline instead of reopening a development project.

Core Capabilities

Where Low-Code Fits

Low-code changes how quickly organizations create and deploy applications, using visual tools, prebuilt components, and integrations with the systems you already run. It is also one layer of a connected, governed foundation rather than a tool sitting off to the side: content management holds the content, workflow moves it, AI agents act on it, and low-code is how your team builds the interfaces and case applications around all of it. Building inside that foundation is also what keeps low-code from turning into shadow IT, because the same identity, data, and governance controls apply. Our AI Optimization Team builds that foundation embedded in your team and keeps improving it after go-live, measured by the value delivered rather than hours billed.

Capabilities Include

  • Visual Development Tools
  • Pre-Built Components
  • API Integrations
  • Workflow Automation
  • AI & Machine Learning Capabilities
  • Scalability

Visual Development Tools

Create applications faster intuitive drag-and-drop interfaces and visual development tools that stay accessible to users with varying levels of coding experience.

  • Design applications using a user-friendly visual interface
  • Drag-and-drop components to build functionality quickly
  • Reduce the need for extensive coding knowledge
  • Enable non-technical users to participate in development

Pre-Built Components

Accelerate your app development process with pre-built modules for common functionalities. This way, your users can quickly build applications to solve problems as they arise without starting from scratch.

  • Use ready-made components for data integration
  • Implement user authentication effortlessly
  • Automate workflows with pre-built modules
  • Save time by building on functionality that already exists

API Integrations

Seamlessly connect with existing systems and services using APIs. This enables smooth data exchange and integration between applications.

  • Integrate with third-party services and platforms
  • Facilitate data exchange between applications
  • Enhance connectivity with existing systems
  • Simplify processes through API integrations

Workflow Automation

Design and automate workflows in apps with ease, allowing you to make efficiency gains faster.

  • Create automated workflows to reduce manual tasks
  • Enhance process efficiency with automation
  • Improve accuracy and consistency in operations
  • Enable real-time monitoring and adjustments

AI & Machine Learning Capabilities

Add capabilities like predictive analytics and automated recommendations to your applications using AI and machine learning modules, so the people using them have better evidence in front of them.

  • Implement predictive analytics for better insights
  • Surface AI-generated recommendations for a person to review and act on
  • Improve application functionality with machine learning
  • Enable smarter and more responsive applications

Scalability

The faster you can solve problems with custom applications, the faster you can grow. Low-code development lets you handle increasing workloads and user demands with greater ease.

  • Scale applications to meet growing business needs
  • Customize solutions to fit unique requirements
  • Support increased user demands and workloads
  • Ensure long-term sustainability and adaptability

Technologies

Combine Technologies for Tailored Solutions

We solve complex challenges by finding the right combination of tools. Low-code, workflow, automation platforms, document processing, content management, and agentic AI are layers of one connected foundation rather than separate purchases, and running them together is what makes an Agentic Enterprise.

Learn More About Our Technologies

Agentic Automation

AI agents that use your enterprise knowledge, data, and systems to take action across real business processes. Agents handle the reading, checking, and routing inside policy and guardrails you set, and your people keep the decisions.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI lets systems learn from your data and identify patterns, so people can make faster, better-informed decisions with the evidence in front of them.

Enterprise Content Management (ECM)

Connect your content and data to the core processes and systems your organization runs on, so the systems that need a document can reach it.

Low-Code Development FAQs

Low-code development lets people with and without extensive coding experience create and deploy applications using pre-built components and drag-and-drop design. It is most often used for the case management and process applications that never reach the top of a development backlog. 

Often the person who understands the problem: a process owner, an analyst, or a specialist in the department. Developers stay involved for integration, security, and anything complex. The point is that a small application no longer needs to become a development project. 

It can, and that is the risk to plan for. The answer is building inside a governed foundation so the same identity, data, and security controls apply to what your team builds as to everything else. Low-code without governance is how organizations end up with applications nobody can support. 

It is not the right tool for highly custom systems, heavy computation, or anything needing fine-grained control over performance. It is very good at forms, case management, approvals, and applications that sit on top of systems you already run. 

Low-code is how your team builds the interfaces and case applications around the rest of the foundation. Content management holds the content, workflow moves it, agents act on it, and low-code is where a person interacts with all of it. 

Faster enough that requests measured in quarters can become changes measured in days, though the gain depends on the application and how much integration it needs.
