Low-code: Innovation without complexity

Over the past two years, the growth in the number of business applications developed with low-code has been significant. By leveraging low-code, organizations can streamline operations, accelerate project delivery, and respond swiftly to changing demands. 

There are three clear benefits to low-code solutions. Firstly, the platform management is simple both for development and maintenance, enabling quick adaptability and scaling. Secondly, low-code platforms come with built-in governance features that ensure compliance, security, and operational oversight. IT teams can establish clear guidelines, set role-based access controls, and monitor development activity across departments. Thirdly, by removing traditional barriers to entry, low-code platforms foster a collaborative environment between development teams and other contributors, that speeds up the development cycle and shortens the time to market.  

Low-code solutions’ growth rate will continue to accelerate, and that is why we at Nortal have also invested in and expanded our expertise in the implementation and management of comprehensive, business-driven low-code ecosystems that integrate seamlessly with the customer’s existing business applications.

Will tangled processes derail the vision of Personal Government?

Low-code/no-code solutions have made giant strides in recent years, enabling the rapid development and flexible customization of public administration applications, automation, and software robots without in-depth programming skills. Instead of €10 million system modernization projects, low-code tools can be used to agilely build a composite layer on top of the underlying systems. Read how this layer orchestrates workflows so that there is no longer any need to jump between different systems. Instead, opportunities for faster and more flexible citizen service development, fewer human errors, better data flow, and less time wasted on routine tasks are achieved. 

Mythbusters: three tested truths about low-code as a driver of digitalization in public administration

In this article we present three persistent low-code myths that, in our experience, prevent mid-level management in public administration agencies, healthcare districts and companies from fully utilizing these versatile tools. We also share real-life examples from our clients who have successfully debunked these myths. 

Getting the most out of low-code: how to approach a new way of thinking?

If left unchecked, the mass of low-code applications and automations — which otherwise simplify daily tasks — can lead to problems like security and data privacy risks, overlapping development work or wasted resources. Read how these challenges can be tamed by harnessing the full potential of low-code through two complementary perspectives that sit between business and IT: an organizational and process-focused governance model, and a Center of Excellence (CoE) that provides technical support and backing for developers and business units. 

Solution Specialist experience: low-coding and AI in IT

Our Solution Specialist Semi Rantanen writes how low-code has been likened to a magic wand for software development, offering a swift and efficient approach to creating new applications with minimal coding. Contrary to popular belief, low-code development is not just for simple, limited solutions; it’s equally adept at handling large and complex implementations requiring application development expertise, such as integrations and additional functionalities.
