Enterprise Apps: Businesses Turn to Low-Code Development
The application development market is expected to reach $15.4 billion by 2020, according to a report by Forrester. Forrester identifies five market segments of the app development market: general-purpose platforms, and platforms for process, database, request handling and mobile applications.
As business appetites for targeted custom applications grow, a new generation of low-code or no-code development platforms are appearing.
Low-code development platforms are allowing some companies to cobble together custom apps with minimum amounts of coding. Within companies ‘citizen developers’ are stepping forward to build applications specific to the needs of their organization.
Bobby Lancaster, product marketing manager at Salesforce, wrote that “Low-code platforms provide IT departments with a way to both empower business users with visual tools to build apps, while also providing coders with interfaces to customize them. By tightly coupling visual development tools with coding tools on a common platform, coders and citizen developers work hand in hand. The challenge for IT departments is in rethinking governance, security, and application lifecycle management.”
Dave Landa, COO of Kintone, said that “more and more younger managers, more of the millennials, are getting into the workforce; they’re expecting these consumer-type services. They want something that works quickly and easily. If their company doesn’t give them something that works for them, they’ll go out and find something that meets their needs. That’s the shadow IT portion. This leads into the citizen developer: ‘There’s nothing out here that works for me; I’ll figure out how to build it.’ The more we can support these folks with a low-code or no-code platform, the more these apps will be built.”
