Download as pptx, pdf4 likes1,843 views
Enterprises are constantly seeking to raise speed and agility through software. This requires IT to address complex business requirements with an eye for customer experience and mobility. Until now, these builds meant long and expensive development cycles, on-site maintenance and updates. In short, these builds lack the flexibility required for today’s business environment. Not anymore. With the advent of low-code platforms, the time, skills, and resources required for building custom applications that meet complex business requirements have been dramatically reduced.

Editor's Notes
- #12: Bringing in: Software engineering expertise Mature development processes Integration with enterprise apps
- #13: The Organization: M&A player Need: Tracking shareholder communications, certificates outstanding, number of shares purchased and so on. Earlier solution: Use Excel spreadsheets to stay on top of shareholder actions: communication, paperwork for shares surrender, tracking certificates, what goes into/out of shares vault. Low code solution: Build a quick low code application to manage and track the entire workflow. The built-in orkflow and notification engine helps to deploy complex workflows and real-time notifications with little to no code. The result: Visibility, transparency, higher efficiency, real time The Organization: Large retailer Need: Assigning tasks to hundreds of stores nationwide Earlier solution: Use Excel spreadsheets to send tasks lists. Resulting in complex tasks structures. Difficult to track tasks status at store level / tasks workload. Feedback a challenge. Low code solution: Global task manager application. Create and segment tasks by several filters like location, assigning organizational unit. Stores easily see local tasks and create their own tasks. Able to manage workload and communicate status upstream. The result: Visibility, transparency, higher efficiency
