Milind Govekar, distinguished vice president at Gartner, says the technological and organisational silos of application development, automation, integration, and governance will become obsolete. Application development instead will shift to assembly and integration.

Gartner predicts that by 2025, 70% of new applications developed by organizations will use low-code or no-code technologies, up from less than 25% in 2020. 

Low-code and no-code technologies are paving the way for citizen development, and a new function: business technologists who report outside of IT departments and create technology or analytics capabilities for internal or external business use.

In this PodChats for FutureCIO, we look at how low-code No-Code can help accelerate digital transformation, and what it means for the IT team. Joining us are Mendix CEO, Tim Srock and Vincent Lim, VP & Head, APAC.

1.       How would you define digital transformation in the context of applications?

2.       In the grand scheme of digital transformation, where does low-code no-code (LC-NC) fit in?

3.       LC-NC has been around for some time now (As early as the 1970s but who can keep track). What is different about the LC-NC platforms of the 2020s?

4.       What is the biggest benefit that LC-NC bring to organisations looking to accelerate their digital transformation in 2022?

5.       How can an organisation avoid vendor lockdown when it comes to LC-NC?

6.       How can an organisation avoid the build-up of Shadow IT if they decide to open up LC-NC outside IT?

7.       How should the CIO and CISO work together to ensure any application developed as a result of LC-NC are scalable and secure?

8.       For organisations looking to tap LC-NC, what questions should they ask the platform provider?
