Quickbase is recognized for, “seeking to revolutionize enterprise development,” with “many enterprise use cases,” and customers who “build apps at scale they can’t live without.” While we’re thrilled with that recognition of our approach, we’re even more excited to see organizations beginning to adopt Quickbase at scale to pioneer a new and better way to develop business software.
The Automation Revolution
Increased customer and employee demands are pushing companies to digitize and automate every process throughout their organizations. This latest research from Forrester highlights that, “digital businesses’ demand for ever more automation, ever more quickly, requires more minds and hands producing applications.”
But, as demands increase, the shortage of pro-developers and rising cost to hire them is putting a tremendous pressure on CIOs who are falling further behind in delivering innovative solutions to the business.
Low-code application development is propelling companies through this digital transformation faster, breaking down data barriers and putting development at the hands of more people.
Enabling Problem-Solvers
A growing number of innovative CIOs are enabling technically-savvy workers with low-code platforms to safely, securely take on development work for the processes they know best, allowing business experts to play an active role in transforming their organization.
Low-code platforms empower problem-solvers closest to the work to reliably build fully functional, business-critical applications that don’t burden IT with maintenance requirements and fit within the guiderails of established information systems governance policies.
“AD&D [IT] support and governance are also crucial for allowing business developers to contribute meaningfully to their firms’ software strategies,” reported Forrester in the report.
