The trend of low-code software use continues to grow. However, in this article we want to start at the beginning and present some definitions of what this new technology is, in order to show how it can be used in today’s business. Thus, with the basics of low-code software, process automation will be understood in a completely new way.
What is the idea behind what is known as low-code?
Low-code and no-code modular approaches let professional developers quickly build applications by relieving them of the need to write code line by line. They also enable business analysts, office administrators, small-business owners and others who are not software developers to build and test applications. These people can create applications with little to no knowledge of traditional programming languages, machine code or the development work behind the platform’s configurable components.

The basis of low-code software is thus an extension of creative capabilities in technology. With this innovation it is expected that users without specialized knowledge can create platforms, applications, technology solutions for their own immediate needs. Thus, technology reaches more people, not only as a commodity, but as a set of creative possibilities that use the latest technology as raw material.
What is the difference between low-code software and traditional software development?
In conventional software development, programmers write lines of code to create the functions and features desired in a computer program or application. This process requires programmers to have in-depth knowledge of computer languages, as well as development environments, deployment processes and testing protocols. Low-code and no-code platforms encapsulate all that work behind the scenes. Users visually select and connect reusable components that represent particular steps or capabilities (which contain the actual code), and link them together to create the desired computerized workflow.

So, to understand it better, it’s like having a puppet presentation: we can’t see the people pulling the strings or the movements they make, we only see the characters moving and talking. In traditional software the users are just spectators of the presentation, while with low-code software the users can take the puppets and put them to work in different places, although without knowing yet how the main wires move.
Thus, with low-code software “users can create applications as if they were drafting a flowchart rather than writing line-by-line codes for each desired function and capability. These platforms also generally have features that allow for experimenting, prototyping, testing and deployment”. (techtarget.com)
Let’s think for a moment about how this technology can be used in today’s business. On the one hand, we have a globalized and interconnected world through different networks based mainly on the Internet. On the other, we have a set of easy-to-use technologies that can be adapted to the needs of any task. Finally, we have companies trying to adapt to this growing interconnectedness of business through the use of technology.
Low-code software is an effective alternative for organizations that do not have a highly specialized business technology staff to take advantage of the benefits of IT within their own processes. With this low-code facility, employees can use platforms and create applications that serve the development of their tasks and create networks with the rest of the team.
With this, they can streamline processes, improve responses to requirements, and have better communication with customers and company management. It also allows them to recognize their own work in a new way, so that their imagination and creativity will grow and bring new perspectives to the business. Management can also develop applications that can be delivered to the company’s departments that need them, and within each sector each employee can make adjustments as required.
Automation is therefore very close at hand at the moment: low-code means that high budgets are not required to start digitizing and automating a large number of processes. What is needed is only a system that allows the complete integration of all these particular developments that each part of the company makes.
Automation and low-code software are now collaborators. Low-code software makes available a first advance of automation in the business, and broader automation solutions, such as Dexon Business Process Management, allow the integration of all these functions that would be isolated and would generate complications in communication without an organized workflow that focuses on all the technological tools to meet the goals of the business.
