Low code uses a flowchart or storyboard methodology with \u201cdrag-and-drop\u201d components to create apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Low code can build and deliver portable, scalable, and resilient apps faster and cheaper than traditional development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We discussed the use of low code in modernization with Craig Breakspear, <em>Consulting Architect and Line-of-Business Lead<\/em> in our Digital Experience practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Low Code and Why It Matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/prolifics.com\/usa\/resource-center\/blog\/low-code-innovation\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/prolifics.com\/usa\/resource-center\/blog\/low-code-innovation\">Low-code development<\/a> allows teams to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Build and deliver apps faster<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduce manual coding and technical debt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improve scalability, portability, and resilience<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lower costs without sacrificing quality<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This approach supports modernization and digital transformation by empowering both IT and business users to innovate quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q&amp;A: Understanding Low Code with Craig Breakspear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q1: When you talk to a customer about modernizing, how does low code come up?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CB:<\/strong> The whole goal of low code is to take an existing, important, yet outdated application and say, <em>\u201cWe need to get this to market quickly\u2014how do we do that?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Low code makes it possible to build applications faster and cheaper without degrading quality and to deploy across platforms\u2014phone, tablet, or desktop\u2014with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q2: What applications are the best candidates for low code?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CB:<\/strong> Think about your phone \u2014 you might have 20 to 50 apps, each doing one specific thing like banking, weather, or email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Low-code applications follow the same principle. They\u2019re:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Small, segmented apps rather than one monolithic system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quicker to develop and deploy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Easier to manage security<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More maintainable and scalable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q3: Will a typical client looking to modernize have these app candidates?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CB:<\/strong> Absolutely \u2014 about 80% of applications can be modernized with low code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even large applications consist of smaller tasks. Instead of rebuilding the entire system, we can modernize specific modules\u2014three or four menu items at a time\u2014using a low-code environment for faster results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q4: Can a client use low code by themselves?
