How to Build a Low-code Toolbox

It’s 2023 and companies are still navigating unprecedented change. They are trying to do more with less and get the most value from the technology they have. But IT resources and budgets remain tight, and demand for apps that increase efficiency, productivity, and visibility is skyrocketing.

This has led to a rise in the popularity of low-code development. With low code, a company’s business users are able to leverage tools like Microsoft Power Platform to innovate without IT — automating tasks, streamlining processes, and creating solutions for their unique business challenges.

And it’s working! According to Forrester Consulting, Power Platform is helping to drive business transformation by reducing development costs and increasing productivity. Check out these stats:

• 188% — ROI over three years
• 74% — reduction in app development costs over traditional coding services
• 3.2 hours — line-of-business employee productivity improvement per week
