With the intensification of market competition, enterprises place higher expectations on the demand for applications and connected devices, and IT leaders are also facing great pressure. A McKinsey research report points out that 70% of enterprises' digital transformation eventually fails. There are different reasons for this situation, but we should face up to one of the most common mistakes made by IT leaders: relying too much on technology and expecting to complete the digital transformation of enterprises through some new technology. Let's learn about the relevant knowledge.

Three tips for building a successful digital transformation strategy using low code:

1. In order to win rather than not lose

In many cases, in the face of risk, business leaders often choose risk aversion rather than game winning strategy. They can't bear the unknown risks of the new strategy and get cold feet.

A few years ago, Ford made a drastic reform of the assembly line, replacing the workers on the production line with robots. Finally, the data proved that the use of robotics replaced boring and repetitive assembly tasks, improved the production efficiency of the enterprise, and created higher value for the company. I believe that before this, Ford executives were also under great pressure to choose.

The same is true of today's digital transformation. Why do so many IT leaders decide to subvert software development through the use of low-code development by development teams?

It is important to build and maintain a strong development team. In order to win the first opportunity in the market competition, we need to improve the productivity of developers, and the IT team needs to respond to business needs with faster speed and higher agility, thus filling all the gaps in the process and the capability gap compared with competitors.

It takes a visionary leader and a winning mentality to make a decision.

two。 Establish and share a vision of success

In order to successfully carry out the digital transformation, enterprises need to optimize the output of the development team. But if you consider it from the standpoint of the development team: developers who have spent years learning coding skills and experience are now required to reduce their workload instead of their hard-mastered work skills and simplify their work. This idea will obviously not be accepted by most people.

As for enterprises, if they expand the scale of developers to meet the surge in market demand, enterprises need to pay more labor costs, and many enterprises will face greater financial pressure.

How to realize the win-win vision of enterprises and employees? At this time, we need to make it clear to developers that low-code platforms will not replace their jobs and skills, but will allow them to free up more time to use their skills and experience to bring more value to the enterprise. Everyone has the ability to contribute, and everyone has the opportunity to win greater returns.

3. Improve business capability

If an enterprise does not improve its business development ability, try to solve more complex needs and seek change, then it will be in an inferior position in the market competition.

How many applications does the enterprise currently have, but uses less than 10% of its functionality? How much does it cost to maintain them? How much of this limits the ability of the enterprise because it cannot obtain data from it or expose it in other applications?

If an enterprise has a large backlog of applications to develop, the backlog can cause log congestion when creating a company-wide, high-performance, innovation-driven way of thinking. In order to win in the market competition, eliminating the backlog of products, encouraging innovation, and reducing the number of third-party applications play an important role.

How to improve efficiency and save development time on low code development platform

1. Low-code platforms use visual models and syntax instead of time-consuming code. This reduces the amount of time developers spend on specific programs.

two。 Flexible to meet customer requirements, out-of-the-box solutions on the market are not feasible, because no company is exactly the same as another company, but low-code solutions can flexibly meet customer needs. In the case of guaranteed cost, users can flexibly operate low-code to build their own applications.

3. Simplify the business process, through the low code platform, users can save more time to solve practical problems, reduce the cost of trial and error, and maintain the simplification of the business process.

4. Business personnel participate in application construction, and the visual interface and drag-and-drop operations of low-code platform help business people to participate in the process of application construction, while reducing the communication costs caused by understanding errors between business personnel and developers.
