Low-code development is not a new concept, but since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic earlier this year, it has become increasingly popular. Low code helps businesses adapt to ever-changing environments quickly by allowing them to build, customize and deploy apps with little to no coding. It enables organizations to accelerate their innovation, automation and transformation efforts.

“With low-code applications, business analysts, project managers, operations teams and other business users are empowered to implement solutions for themselves,” said Prodly CEO Max Rudman. “Consequently, technical developers have more time to focus on projects that require specialized skills. Because developers are now able to focus on tasks that really do require programming expertise, they become more productive, too.”
