Low-code/no-code: what is it, and how is it being used by your peers?
Will low-code and no-code be the tools that enable faster digitisation? Judging by the number of articles in the specialised press, as well as the announcements of large vendors on their low-code/no-code platforms, it seems that it is getting more and more attention.
Takeaways from the Beltug N-sight of 26 January 2022

The promises of low code/no code are indeed tempting: visual programming, a lower threshold for creating applications, faster delivery of software projects and increased digitisation. The large, ‘traditional’ players Mendix and Outsystems have recently been joined by the likes of Salesforce, Microsoft, Google and SeviceNow, while SAP and AWS have announced faster development of their own platforms.
But what is low-code/no-code exactly, and how have Beltug members used it? In this session, Prof. dr. Monique Snoeck from KU Leuven highlighted a few interesting points and outlined the implications for software management and IT workforce. Then, Jorgen Colsoul from FPS Mobility and Transport told us about their low-code journey, as they sought to replace a few of their Domino-based applications. Finally, Filip Wuyts from Hubo shared his story of digitisation and automation through the use of Microsoft-based tools such as Power Automate and Logic Apps.
