Low-Code is a visual way of developing applications that makes it possible for a larger group of people to contribute to the development process, thus it is not just reserved for people with traditional programming skills. This allows people from different parts of an organization to collaborate in one environment, create solutions and iterate in a fraction of the time compared to traditional development methods.

Frequently asked questions:
How do you build the right application for a client?
Always start with clearly identifying the customer problem. It is common that applications are developed without first fully understanding what problem an application is supposed to solve. To avoid this pitfall, we begin always with a Design Thinking-session to develop a “shared understanding‘ to create. This approach provides a structured way to deeply analyze what the core problem is, for whom it provides what value, and how best to build or improve applications.
What can you do about an outdated interface in a portal or application?
At such a moment, dwell once again on what really important to the end user. Optimizing an obsolete interface by asking what the end user really wants shifts the focus to the user’s needs and expectations, which is essential for improving the end-user experience. In doing so, don’t just look at revamp of visual elements, but also to the optimize of obsolete processes. It is the ideal opportunity to customize not only the form, but also the function of the application to build an optimized interface that perfectly meets the needs of the end user.
How do I ensure that customers experience the same app/tech convenience as with a private app?
With customers wanting to experience the same convenience with business apps as with private apps, the first question is always what exactly customers mean by “convenience” and “usability. Since these are subjective concepts that are perceived differently by everyone, it is essential to first understand your customer’s specific needs and preferences as well as possible. By carefully asking about customers’ personal experience of ease of use, we can best anticipate a customer’s expectations and requirements and ultimately build applications where customers experience similar convenience to private apps.
What business processes can be automated?
There are several business processes at almost every company that can be can be automated. The most common processes that automatedrd are the invoicing process, inventory management and data entry. Software then then for example for that invoices are automatically prepared and sent and payments are tracked. As a result, fewer errors are made and employees spend less time on administration.
How does replacing legacy software benefit a company?
You can answer this question from different perspectives. If you look at cost and efficiency, you reduce costs, improve the user experience for customers and staff, and reduce your risks, particularly in the area of security. You can also look at this question from your company’s future perspective. A legacy migration provides you with a business that is digitally compliant. When good ideas come out of the business, you can estimate what it’s going to cost, what it’s going to deliver and how you can implement it. Ultimately, that’s something every business should be able to do.
