Choosing the right development platform may not be as obvious as it seems.
Low code application platforms accelerate app delivery by dramatically reducing the amount of hand coding required. Faster delivery is the primary benefit of these application platforms; they also help firms respond more quickly to customer feedback after initial software releases.
While to benefits are clear - this does not mean they are always the best choice for your business. Equally, it should not always be an either/or choice between one platform or another.
These slides describe some of the things to consider when choosing a development platform. Please get in touch if you would like an unbiased discussion on how to choose the best platform for your needs.
Virtual labs aim to provide remote access to laboratory experiments for students in various disciplines of science and engineering. They allow students to practice experiments using sophisticated instruments without physical access or resources constraints. Virtual labs develop a learning management system with tools for learning like video lectures and assessments. They are initiated by the Ministry of Education in India to share costly equipment and address teacher shortages. The objectives are to provide remote lab access, engage student curiosity in experiments, and share resources. Benefits include flexible access, instant feedback, high-quality equipment, and lower costs compared to physical labs. Virtual labs should enhance but not replace hands-on experience in a real lab.

Jump start your Rapid Application Delivery with WaveMakerWaveMaker, Inc.
Are you a Project Manager still developing apps running into months and years?
Are you a Product Manager who still use mock screens to prototype a feature?
Are you a Software Consultant who is losing out to competitors due to lack of resources to execute?
Not just individuals, today even organisations big and small alike, struggle to keep up with the increasing pace of change intheir business requirements. They know that to keep pace with it, they must quickly build and deploy compelling web and mobile applications that connect with their customers, staff and other stakeholders in new and engaging ways.
The challenge, for many, is how? Recent study found that 85% of organisations want to deploy new apps faster yet only 18% have the means and ability to do so. All of which means over two thirds of organisations are failing to build and deploy the applications their business needs demand-a better way must be found.

To enable digital transformation of its customers, Salesforce provides a portfolio of services
to support and accelerate application development. Some services are meant for users with
minimal technology experience (often in line of business) with a low/no-code approach, while
others target professional developers offering complete control of application functionality
and the choice of multiple languages. Data analytics can be used to understand customer
interactions and trigger both desktop and mobile applications. Salesforce fully abstracts
infrastructure, removing the traditional time lags and complexity of delivering these types of
solutions

Low code - empower the capability to accelerate | Swatantra KumarSwatantra Kumar
In today’s fast-changing environment customers are better informed, better connected and more demanding than ever before. Digitization is no longer a choice, it is indispensable. Irrespective of the size and industry you are in, your organization needs to continuously transform to survive in the evolving and demanding business environments.
Traditional application development falls short and cannot keep up with the demands from the business. Low-code platforms proved over the last years to provide a solution to deal with both business and IT challenges. Low-code software development can therefore be a serious accelerator, driving the digital transformation of your organization!
This article looks at the potential and the reality of low-code development platforms and how low-code can drive digital transformation within organizations. It illustrates how to start your low-code journey, what it entails and how to make low-code software development a success for your organization.
The document discusses how increased digitization is putting pressure on businesses to be more agile and innovative with their IT. It describes how Platform as a Service (PaaS) is evolving from a technical layer to a full-fledged business system that can accelerate the development and deployment of new applications. Specifically, PaaS provides standardized, scalable services that lines of business can use to quickly test and implement new ideas without technical expertise. The document also gives examples of how PaaS is enabling innovations in industries like retail through applications for mobile marketing, data analytics from sensors, and more integrated software ecosystems.
Customize Transformation For A Personalized ExperienceLCDF
Shifting to a Customer-centric
Business Model :-
Many businesses already see the writing on the wall: Only 8 percent of companies
say their current business model will remain economically viable if their industry
keeps digitizing at its current course and speed.2 But to become a modern digital
business, you must go beyond just digitizing old business models and instead use
technology to align your people, processes, and technology around entirely new ways
of serving customers.
By placing the customer at the center of everything you do, you can create products,
services, and experiences that are more valuable to your buyer, allowing you to stand
out in an increasingly commoditized world, drive more profit, and generate more
brand loyalty.
The document discusses the evolution of enterprise portals from traditional on-premise solutions to next-generation SaaS-based portals. It summarizes the findings of research that identified key requirements for these new portals, including cost-effectiveness, security, scalability, and ease of use. The research also indicated that CIOs want "enterprise-proven" solutions from vendors with experience deploying large-scale portals.
The document discusses the Softdate Date & Time Simulation Suite, which allows testing of date and time logic in applications. It notes that date/time logic is common in applications but prone to errors, and testing it is essential before moving applications to production. The Softdate Suite supports various platforms including z/OS mainframes, Linux, UNIX, and Windows, and has options for coordinating date/time testing across multiple systems. It aims to help enterprises fully test applications and ensure quality assurance as part of their DevOps processes.
Enterprise mobility refers to the execution of mobile application development as a strategy that addresses the particular requirements of a company. Mobile technology is used to connect people, processes, and information. Enterprise mobility can improve how consumers interact with items and services.
Splice Machine Digital Transformation 2.0 white paperSyed Mahmood
This document discusses the evolution of digital transformation. Digital Transformation 1.0 involved automating manual processes and moving operations online. While cloud migration provided agility, true transformation requires modernizing applications to leverage new data sources and intelligence. Digital Transformation 2.0 requires transitioning from systems of record to systems of signals that can analyze real-time data using AI/ML. For companies to realize the benefits of DX 2.0, all applications must be modernized to ingest diverse data sources and embed intelligence. Approaches like lambda architecture are too complex, requiring specialized skills and loose coupling between systems. True transformation is achieved by modernizing applications themselves.

Many communications, media and technology companies share similar digital objectives. Here are our recommendations for realizing five common digital goals, and a look at a few companies that have succeeded with meeting them.
The subtle art of building scalable apps using low codeWaveMaker, Inc.
Deepak Anupalli, Co-founder and Head of Product, WaveMaker speaks at the Low Code Today virtual summit organized by DevOps.com on the art if building scalable apps using low code.
6 questions every enterprise must ask its low code vendorWaveMaker, Inc.
Reach out to us here: https://www.wavemaker.com/talk-to-expert/
After more than a decade of experience in the low code space, Deepak Anupalli shortlists the evaluation parameters to be considered while assessing a low code vendor. Whether an enterprise is considering a move to low code or is already partnered with a low code vendor, it is important to take a step back and ask these questions. It is important to understand if low code is delivering the value sought after. The value, that not only results in customer satisfaction but also promotes growth, innovation and serves as a catalyst in achieving business goals.
Container delivery is a revolution not evolutionWaveMaker, Inc.
The document discusses the rise of containers as the dominant way to package and deploy applications. It notes that container usage has increased 200% in large enterprises and is expected to rise 80% more over the next two years. Containers offer advantages over virtual machines like faster updates and easier fixing of issues by replacing container images rather than modifying running systems. However, managing containers at scale requires rethinking development and operations workflows to address their unique needs.
Replatforming IBM AS/400 based systems without disruptionWaveMaker, Inc.

This document discusses how Docker containerization was leveraged to power a large-scale, globally available Software as a Service (SaaS) platform serving over 3000 developers from over 125 countries. Some key points:
1) Docker provided process isolation, CPU/memory partitioning, volume partitioning, and file sharing which optimized resource utilization and allowed high density deployment of containers hosting user applications and data.
2) A container allocation strategy using Docker allowed new users to quickly obtain isolated environments while existing inactive users' containers were passivated to disk for later reactivation, improving efficiency.
3) Automated passivation and reactivation handled inactive users by hibernating their containers and restoring from disk on next request, while
Why is RAD imperative for modern app developmentWaveMaker, Inc.
This document discusses why RAD (Rapid Application Development) tools are important for modern app development. Traditional development tools use structured methodologies that are time-consuming and inflexible, making it difficult to respond quickly to changing business needs. RAD tools allow for faster development through templates, drag-and-drop functionality, and less code. They also enable iterative development and regular adaptation to changing requirements, making them better suited for today's agile business environment. RAD tools help foster enterprise innovation by allowing all employees to participate in app building and innovation.

Low-code Platforms:
2. Introduction
Marc Andreessen once famously said “Software is eating the world” to refer to the
software-driven innovation revolution and the need for every company to become a software
company. Software is delivered in the form of applications - IT’s home turf. Then, why is IT
still struggling to enable enterprises steer through today’s challenges? Why haven’t CIOs
been able to expand their role as leader of a customer-facing function? Because traditional
application delivery is broken and cannot keep up with demands of the digital age. However,
Low-code Platforms are emerging as key enablers to innovation by simplifying the
development and deployment of custom enterprise apps. We explain how you can create an
innovation sandbox with Low-code Platforms so that you can stay ahead of rapidly evolving
customer expectations and digital disruptions.

The New Normal
The Internet, cloud computing, mobile and other
technologies have catalysed the digital space beyond
measure. Today, enterprises are cognizant of the power
of software but have to be wary of the new trends that
are changing the game forever. Many leaders continue
to be in denial about the power of digital trends that are
radically transforming the business landscape. But the
adoption of agile, innovative and disruptive technolo-
gies is causing enterprises to break sweat in the way
they operate forcing them to adapt or perish.
Businesses can no longer afford the status quo. The
competition is constantly innovating, so standing still is
equivalent to moving backwards. It is time to face this
new dynamic and begin to plan for your organization’s
digital transformation.
“Today, enterprises are cognizant of
the power of software but have to be
wary of the new trends that are
changing the game forever.”

5. In the last few years, not only have the
number of mobile devices surpassed PCs, but
users now turn to their mobile devices first.
Ever since mobile apps entered the enterprise
scene, they have ushered in new forms of
collaboration, communication, and business
efficiencies. The number of devices managed
in the enterprise increased 72% from 2014 to
20151
and now, 3+ devices are used daily by
an employee for work activities.2
With the
diversity of screens and form factors
exploding, enterprise mobility has become
the key strategy for every business to
empower and manage employee mobility in
order to meet security, agility and productivity
demands.

Here we have outlined the key trends that are impacting enterprise application delivery. Each of these trends is not
an independent phenomenon but a group of closely related phenomena that not only influence, but also act as a
catalyst for the others.

6. 90%
90% of enterprises say that the
use of consumer or individual
services used for work is
pervasive today
The distinction between expectations for
consumer and enterprise applications
has rapidly narrowed due to the impact of
consumer-originated technologies on
enterprises. 90% of enterprises say that
the use of consumer or individual
services used for work is pervasive today
including Dropbox, Google, Skype,
LinkedIn, Facebook and other social
networking sites.3
49% of these sites are
used with IT approval, and 41% are not.4
To achieve the greatest user adoption and
long-term success, there is a conscious
effort to move away from a purely
utilitarian approach to one that strives to
deliver an experience for that meets the
same standards evident in consumer
products.

7. Perhaps the biggest story in the development and DevOps circles over
the past couple of years has been the explosion of containers, with
Docker driving the path toward developer and enterprise adoption.
Docker’s express growth is already revolutionizing continuous delivery.
The influence of containers continues to grow, beginning to move
beyond mere optimization to transformation on the way IT builds and
delivers applications.Several enterprises are looking at containers as
an alternative to virtualization and cloud computing, at least for the
needs of long tail business applications.

8. With the dawn of cloud computing and proliferation of apps, companies are exchanging data and services at an ever
growing rate. APIs can increase agility by de-coupling and exposing business processes. The past few years,
however, have seen such explosive growth that the API space is evolving more rapidly than ever before. In 2015, as
many as 40 APIs were being added per week to the Programmable Web directory, and the total number of APIs stood
at around 15,000.5
The key thing to consider here is that these numbers are based on publicly available APIs and do
not reflect any private or internal API growth at all, which some estimate may even outnumber the public total. The
future RESTful APIs will drive not only the exchange of data but also influence enterprise architecture.

9. The amount of data being generated globally is growing at a rate of 40% per
year.6
Add to that the complexity of an ever-connect world of Internet of
Things. Forecasts indicate that there will be 20.8 billion connected things
(IoT) by 2020.7
As enterprises capture more data from more sources, they
are bound to experience greater growth rates for both structured and
unstructured data. Since data forms the crux of business applications,
enterprises will have to prepare to manage data integration from
disparate internal and external systems.
Data Deluge
Microservices are small, single-purpose applications that
collaborate using APIs to deliver services. Even though
microservices have been used for a while, the increasing
popularity of cloud computing, containerization, and APIs
has made microservices more reliable. In many
organizations developers are already employing
microservices architecture whether management knows it
or not. Early signs indicate this approach to code
management and deployment is helping companies become
more responsive to shifting customer demands.
Microservices is poised to take scalability and continuous
delivery to the next levels in the years to come.

10. Trends are not an independent phenomena. They
manifest into expectations, imperatives and
challenges that organizations need to be cognizant
of and take appropriate actions. Given the
disruptions faced by several markets and industries
due to some of these trends, CIOs are having
sleepless nights thinking about how to deal with the
new normal. Let us take a look at the following key
manifestations of trends that impact enterprise
application delivery.
What’s keeping the CIOs up
at night?
Customer Expectations
Engaging Experiences:
Driven by experiences in the consumer world,
users are demanding fast and engaging
enterprise applications that go beyond
providing merely a utilitarian experience.
Multi-device Availability:
Mobile has ensured that work is increasingly
done on the go, beyond the traditional
workplace. Employees are now using more
than one device for their work and expect
enterprise applications to work well across
different form factors.
Seamless Integrations:
Employees and partners demand that data be
free, regardless of the boundaries imposed by
legacy applications or disparate systems. They
expect a seamless integrations across
applications due to API-driven experiences in
the consumer world.

Business Imperatives
Speed Innovation:
Custom apps are key enablers to innovation
and businesses are looking for a faster way to
deliver apps by bridging the business-IT gap.
At the same time, enterprises want to broaden
innovation by making app creation possible for
non-developers too.
Contain Shadow IT:
IT can rarely get to all of the custom apps that
the business needs. This results in shadow IT
or proprietary public cloud solutions. 81% of
line-of-business workers and 83% of IT staff
admit to using non-approved SaaS apps.8
Enterprises want to enable the business units
to build their own apps but on technologies
sanctioned by IT.

Do More with Less:
Many organizations are dealing with shrinking
IT budgets due to the current economic
climate and constant focus on increasing
revenues—without additional investment. IT
leaders are focussing on re-examining the
application delivery ROI in terms of both,
dollars spent and effort.

Execution Challenges
Talent Crunch:
The smorgasbord of front-end and mobile
technologies is taking its toll on application
delivery leading to a shortage of skilled
resources. Meanwhile, developers themselves
want to work with best-of-breed components
that simplify application development.
IT Queue:
Agility in delivering enterprise applications and
the ability to react to changing environment is
a critical IT differentiator. Hence, IT teams are
increasingly relying on the principles of
DevOps, containerization, continuous delivery
and microservices - upending the traditional
application delivery model.
Legacy Modernization:
While it would be ideal for enterprises to use
disruptive new technologies without too much
disruption to modernize legacy application.
But, overhauling legacy applications may
impact long standing vendors who support
legacy systems & planning or restructuring of
resources.
Reusability and Maintenance:
Developers don’t want to get locked into
proprietary technologies or tools with
dead-end functionality. Ultimately, they are
responsible for maintaining and enhancing
apps. Hence, they are relying on software that
offers maximum reusability and requires
minimum maintenance effort.
13. All Hands on Deck
A phrase used by the boatswain to have the whole crew
work collectively on a ship in times of emergency
would apply in the IT industry as well. C-suite
managers, technical architects, developers and
business stakeholders are hustling together to break
down existing IT challenges within the enterprise. But
bolting new thinking onto old ways of working can
leave you stuck. You need a fresh perspective to give
you and your team a powerful voice in setting business
direction. In the age of the customer, tech
professionals must work with business executives to
use technology to drive growth and delight customers.

16. Acknowledging a problem is the first step to solving it. By now, you may
have come to terms with the trends, challenges and current state of
application delivery. It is good time to step back and analyze the different
perspectives on how to approach enterprise IT spending and overall effort
to achieve application delivery nirvana. To understand where the app
delivery cycle fits into the overall IT process, let's discuss two of the popular
strategic IT approaches suggested by experts and analysts.
What has the doctor ordered?
Gartner proposes a Pace-Layered Application Strategy9
along with Bimodal IT that can be used to deliver an
effective IT and app delivery strategy for an enterprise.
According to Gartner, “with bimodal IT, CIOs can help
their departments meet the digital challenge, and
ultimately bring the enterprise along.”10

17. According to Gartner, IT organizations of the future will have two separate IT flavors: Mode 1 is traditional IT, focused
on stability and efficiency, while Mode 2 is an experimental, agile organization focused on time-to-market, rapid
application evolution, and, in particular, tight alignment with business units.
Ideally, by separating into two modes, IT teams can ensure that they have the right people, process, and technology
to support business initiatives without impacting long-term maintenance projects. Also a point to note is that the
pace layers hmsystem of innovation and differentiation tend to have less governance and more changes. Those are
the layers where the Mode-2 IT also is required to play.

Forrester Business Technology
Forrester advocates an IT philosophy, which revolves around
three things that involve speed of delivery, data centricity and
new age customer.11
It suggests that enterprises move away
from slow and dragging legacy technology based systems to
systems that will be compatible with the modern mobile
customer, who place a lot of emphasis on speed.
Forrester also advises that organizations should aggressively
invest in systems that can crunch user data to serve them
better. All the logistics surrounding such a change have to be
put in place. This could involve investments in people with
the required skills or processes that can speed up the
innovation or new technology platforms that can aid in
fostering this change.

19. The Low-code
Revolution
With demand for custom business apps soaring,
traditional, code-based approaches have not been able
to keep pace with the relentless demand to bring new
apps to the market and the scarcity of application
development skills needed to build enterprise-grade,
cross-platform apps. Hence, many organizations have
responded by using one of a growing breed of
"low-code," rapid development platforms. Low-code
Platforms can be defined as platforms that deliver
business applications through a Rapid Application
Development and Delivery approach, where the apps
are created visually with a minimum of hand-coding
and upfront investment in setup, training and
deployment.

20. We could also break the above
definition down into the following
key characteristics that an
application development and
delivery platform must exhibit to be
called a Low-code Platform.
Visual Development:
The fundamental expectation from
a low-code app development
platform is to offer a WYSIWYG
development environment where
developers can drag and drop
components to design responsive
user interfaces that adapt to a
device’s screen resolution.Some
Low-code Platforms go as far as to
offer out-of-the-box templates for
commonly used layouts
Key characteristics of a Low-code Platform
and screens such as dashboards.
The demand for enterprise mobile
apps has meant that Low-code
Platforms have also started to offer
cross-platform mobile app
development with access to native
mobile device features while
abstracting the underlying
operating system complexities.
DEVELOPMENT
DEPLOYMENT INTEGRATION
17
Low-code Platforms: Paving the Way for Modern Enterprise Application Delivery WaveMaker, Inc.
21. Virtually every business application
depends on data to create a meaningful
application. But data is available from
disparate systems ranging from
proprietary enterprise systems to APIs
from external entities and everything in
between. Hence, data integration
consumes an inordinate amount of time
and resources during enterprise
application development. A Low-code
Platform is expected to provide a visual
approach for developers to connect to
these data sources and embed data
elements directly into the application.
Some platforms also allow professional
developers to design data models and
configure business logic directly inside the
low-code app.
Simplified Integration:
Beyond the need to eliminate or reduce application
coding, Low-code Platforms are expected to streamline
and speed up the application delivery process itself. One
key characteristic is the ability to instantly deploy an
application with zero DevOps. Such platforms also offer
a single point of control for app maintenance and
updates. While other low-code app development
platforms extend the capabilities to security, governance,
version control, infrastructure autoscaling and more.
Instant Deployment:

22. Benefits of Low-code Platforms
Business IT Alignment:
Low-code app development platforms enable close
collaboration between developers, business analysts
and subject matter experts. This greatly benefits
enterprises as rework is greatly reduced and cost
overrun is avoid to a large extent.
Clear IT Backlog:
The linear approach of conventional software
development models presents significant opportunities
to reduce waste and fast-forward delivery. Low-code
Platforms streamline and speed up the development
and delivery process, achieving substantial reduction of
the IT backlog.
Democratization of App Delivery:
With the ever-rising demand for applications,
enterprises are expanding their internal talent pools, for
building noncritical or long tail apps using
nontraditional developer talent like technical business
users.
" Low-code Platforms streamline and
speed up the development and delivery
process, achieving substantial
reduction of the IT backlog."

23. Consumer-grade Business Apps:
Today, customers and employees expect to access apps from a various devices, putting additional pressure on
developers. Low-code Platforms with modern frameworks can provide consumer-grade applications using
enterprise-grade technology at a fraction of the cost.
Speed of Innovation:
Competitive advantage lies with companies that focus the most on ‘Systems of Innovation’. Low-code Platforms are
ideal for such systems that require the most experimentation and experience the highest rate of change.
Cost and Effort:
Do more with less is a philosophy that CIOs have to live with these days. But, with low code platforms, CIOs come
closer to achieving that. Enterprises can have the best of both worlds where they can build enterprise grade apps of
the highest quality in a matter of days to weeks as compared to months in traditional approach to development.
Repurpose & Reuse Resources:
Whenever enterprises have a mandate to modernize, CIOs have a big dilemma in handling existing resources with
legacy technical skills but with knowledge of the core business process. But with low code platforms, with their
unique visual development approach, CIOs get an opportunity to reuse their existing resources and modernizing
legacy projects without much issues.

24. Ideal Use Cases and Applications
Whether you are transforming application delivery or testing the waters with a pilot project, it is critical to choose the
right business use cases and applications to achieve success with Low-code Platforms. Let us explore some of the
key areas that will benefit greatly from using Low-code Platforms.
Digital Transformation
Using Low-code Platforms, enterprise can retool underlying business and operational processes and transform them
to digital assets by developing custom applications. Enterprises can also accelerate the process of creating digital
assets that can later unlock new business models.
Legacy Application Modernization
Migrating legacy applications to modern web and mobile based applications using visual drag and drop interface of
Low-code Platforms can greatly reduce the steep learning curve for legacy application developers to develop modern
web and mobile applications.
Enterprise Mobile Apps
Enterprises can develop, build, and provision mobile applications across multiple cross platforms using Low-code
Platforms with a hybrid mobile application development approach. The resulting near-native app experiences can be
delivered at a fraction of the cost of native app development.

25. Long Tail Applications
Due to the lack of resources and budget, long tail applications are built using non-standard technologies. Low-code
Platforms obviate the problem of shadow IT by providing a visual drag and drop interface that allows business users
to develop these apps within the purview of IT.
Rapid Prototyping
By virtue of their visual drag and drop rapid application development methodology, Low-code Platforms enable
development of fully functional interactive prototypes. Ideas can be converted to prototypes and apps in a matter of
hours or days.
Systems of Differentiation and Innovation
In general, applications that can be classified as System of Differentiation and Innovation12
are ideal for Low -code
Platforms due to the rapid rate of change and are generally executed by business stakeholders rather than technical
developers.

Charting a New
Course
The scope of Low-code Platforms is unique to every
enterprise. Consequently, the endgame too will depend
on the organization’s alignment of stakeholders,
appetite for innovation, and right technology partners.
However, the fundamental tenet of transforming
application delivery is essential to internalize right from
the beginning. It is equally important to understand and
align the entire ecosystem of people, process and
technology. This extends to customers, partners and
employees, as well as the interface between these
groups and the technology you choose.

ing application delivery is essential to
internalize right from the beginning.”

27. People, Process and Technology
Before charting on a new course, identifying
stakeholders, champions and potential opposition. It is
critical to engage your executive team early to get their
input and support. The force of the C-suite office is
required not just for budgetary reasons, but to also gain
strategic organizational alignment and influential
advocacy. Enterprises should also ensure continued
stakeholder management, flexibility, and adaptability to
changing needs.
People: Align Key Stakeholders
Very often, organizations apply technology to solve
complex challenges only to find that the technology
multiplies the impact and visibility of the problem. While
technology is the enabler and can be the basis for
transformation, you need much more than a
platform to succeed. It’s the intersection of people,
process and technology that can pave the way to
success.

28. Process: Imbibe Innovation
Creating a culture of innovation goes a long way in fuelling the modern application delivery machine.
Innovation requires embracing risk, specifically, as part of your corporate culture. Failure often yields the most
insightful learning that can encourage people to fail-fast, learn and iterate. It is also essential to define the benefits
of the low-code initiatives to the organization in quantifiable terms and success metrics for process and technology
alike.
Technology: Select Partners, not Vendors
A mindful approach to modern application delivery also requires a renewed approach to vendor selection.
Enterprises would do well to seek partners who take a shared risk, are invested in your success, rather than vendors,
who do not adopt a reward approach precisely because they’re not in it for the long haul.

29. 7 Things to consider before
choosing a Low-code Platform
In the following section we provide the key
consideration factors you need to map the delivery
capabilities of future partners when choosing a
Low-code platform
Is the platform built on open standards?
While most Low-code Platforms claim “No Vendor
Lock-in”, the reality is that most of them use proprietary
technologies and application stack. Choose a
Low-code Platform that is based on proven open
source technologies in order to ensure an open and
extensible approach to application delivery. Also, the
platform should use best-of-breed application stack for
developing full stack applications.
Does the platform simplify external integration with
inbuilt integrations?
While most vendors offer decent visual development
capabilities, it is extremely important to look for
features that ease external integration of data and
services as most business data is stored in disparate,
proprietary systems. Look for out-of-the-box
integrations and verify whether custom integrations
can be built and reused across apps.
Does the platform offer cross-platform development?
The ability to create applications using a single code
base that can adapt to any native platform or operating
system (which could be iOS, Android, Windows Mobile,
BlackBerry/RIM, etc) using a hybrid adaptive design
enables applications to be run seamlessly on any
device giving it cross platform capabilities.
Does the platform handle scalability and cloud
needs?
Ensure that low-code platform vendors don’t get away
with merely providing a hosting and release
management solution. Check for the ability to scale
applications and handle private cloud needs. Look for
solutions that allow for rapid and continuous
provisioning, deployment, instant scalability and
maximum utilization of resources. Verify whether the
platform supports

30. building custom software stacks and deploying
microservices-based apps, and orchestrates IT
infrastructure effectively.
Does the platform make it easier to create, share &
consume APIs ?
Today, APIs are at the front and center of business
applications and architecture. Most Low-code
Platforms support APIs at best. However, one must
choose a platform that takes an API-first approach to
application delivery. It should be easy to import data
from any service and bind it to UI components.
Moreover, the platform should allow developers to
create, publish and discover APIs with ease.
Is it easy to maintain the code generated?
With most Low-code Platforms, even the most
experienced developer would not understand the code
generated by the platform. Maintainability is a critical
aspect of application delivery and is overlooked by
many these platforms. Verify that the code generated
follows design patterns, is well-organized, uses
standard naming conventions and generates
documentation that developers can understand and
maintain
How well does the application handle security?
Enterprise applications needs both coarse grained and
fine grained security control mechanisms. The Low-
code Platform must support flexible authentication and
authorization mechanisms to secure users and various
tasks within the application. Check for integration
support for popular identity management systems like
AD, LDAP, SSO and OAuth.
