Coding has traditionally been about a writing behavior ; we are trying to substitute this with a drawing behavior . When someone wishes to change existing Low-Code software all they need to do is look at a flow chart to understand its operation .

“ It runs on every known device , including the cloud and is more adaptable than regular code . It offers the facility to run several applications simultaneously with simple protocols for joining them together .

Empowering business process leaders Perhaps the greatest barriers preventing process-centric business personnel from expressing their expertise in code has been the need for mathematical understanding , coupled with the formal requirements of modern code . Calkins describes how Appian ’ s methodology effortlessly vaults these constraints . “ There are two ways in which Low-Code is deployed . Firstly , to speed up development , multiplying effectiveness by up to 20 times . For instance , one of our clients rolled out 40 applications in 18 months , which is so far in excess of the accepted delivery times it ’ s comparable with breaking the sound barrier .

“ Secondly , once the developers have finished creating their code , business users can configure and adapt these components both freely and simply . One of the largest banks in Australia migrated all its applications to Low-Code and when the developers had generated a complete set of objects , these were turned over to the business users
