Low-Code is empowering a new generation of enterprise solution creators: Business Analysts and UI/UX Experts

Low-code platforms are revolutionizing organizations by enabling development teams to rapidly create beautifully engaging enterprise applications that expedite company-wide digital transformation. These innovative and technically accessible platforms are significantly more inclusive when compared to traditional software development that is primarily reserved for professional developers. This shift is giving rise to a new generation of solution creators, with analysts and UI/UX experts leading the way. In this blog, we’ll explore how this innovative, future-thinking technology is changing how and who creates solutions.

Low-code solution creation: A strategic evolution for development teams

In a traditional setting, business analysts and UI/UX experts rely exclusively on professional developers to bring their ideas to life. Alternatively, with low-code technology, they now gain the freedom to create solutions independently, eliminating the need for coding capabilities. Highly visual design tools with intuitive user-centric interfaces empower more people outside of the development world to create independently, resulting in greater overall team productivity and agility.

An optimal customer and user-centric creation process

Analysts and UI/UX experts no longer need to provide written specifications to developers in the hope that the end-result aligns with their vision. They can now implement functionality directly within the platform – on their own.

What’s more, poor communication and interpretation issues among participants due to multiple communication levels and the use of numerous work tools, typical in traditional development, are eliminated – representing a significant advantage for all stakeholders, including the customer.

To better illustrate the point, let’s look at some of the key low-code creation components:

• Simplified end-user approval process: Rather than having to review extensive written technical specifications and screen mock-ups that leave room for misinterpretation, customers can easily view and approve their live application in real time. Users are genuinely excited to witness their application taking shape incrementally through an iterative approach that allows them to assess and test it under real conditions, ensuring that the application is alignment to their needs.
• All documentation is contained within the application creation platform: When platforms employ a domain-driven design approach, all data models and business rules are meticulously documented within the platform in a nearly plain text format, as executable rules.
• Users gain autonomy and a sense of achievement: Users experience a gratifying sense of accomplishment when they, as business analysts or UI/UX experts, take an active role in creating applications on their own, boosting motivation and significantly contributing to the successful execution of projects.

Low-code will transform the roles of business analysts and UI/UX experts

In conclusion, using low-code offers more than just technical and budgetary advantages. It allows for a different perspective on the way we work by optimizing processes and productivity across various roles: professional developers, business analysts, UI/UX experts, and more.

By entrusting enterprise application development to more people, you democratize software creation, enabling the development team to collaboratively work closer to meet customer needs.
