As a result, low-code allows more agility, cutting down the time spent on building and deploying apps as well as requiring less engineering efforts than traditional development methodologies. It delivers high-quality solutions quickly and no advanced developer skills are required!

According to Gartner, “by 2024, low-code application development will be responsible for more than 65 percent of application development activity”[1]. The race is on to compete in this digital (r)evolution. Low-code is the real deal and it´s already happening now.
