The way we build applications and offer services is also currently undergoing a transformation through cloud platforms that increase productivity by making construction more intuitive for developers, enabling management of the entire life cycle in order to accelerate delivery time.

For Babel, both no code and low code are concepts that refer to the creation of applications, services and programmes through traditional programming. These definitions have become popular and accessible in recent years as they enable democratisation and accessibility of software development to respond to the growing demand for technology that cannot currently be met by IT resources.

It is for this reason that there is a focus on minimising programming efforts to enable developers and/or anyone without programming experience to be able to create software products by writing as little or no code as possible.

"Gartner predicts that by 2025, 70% of new applications developed by enterprises will use low-code or no-code technologies, up from less than 25% in 2020."

Low-code platforms are a solution to solve the problem of software development complexity and lack of IT resources. The objectives of low-code platforms are to provide companies with a strategic architecture solution on which to develop applications with delivery times and time to market much lower than traditional development. With these investments, companies have more time and capacity to invest in innovation and focus their efforts on their core business.

At Babel, we deliver services and solutions on low-code platforms to provide savings for organisations in the form of more efficient equipment that requires less management effort and immunity to technological obsolescence.

Speed of development is combined perfectly with an agile methodology based on continuous definition and delivery with close business alignment. With this type of solution, we can assist in projects from the outset due to rapid and functional prototyping.

For the development team, it provides a wider overview of projects by reducing their size and giving greater prominence to their members, making them full-stack and enabling them to spend more time working with the business.

It is crucial that the platform provide us with the following aspects:

A unique environment in which to build multi-experience applications.
Integral management of the lifecycle of applications.
Ease of integration into other corporate systems or applications
Scalability response and security
Continuous improvements in new capabilities that enable us to keep pace with the market through innovative solutions.

The technology used to create technology

Low-code platforms are to applications what the cloud is to infrastructure: a solution to solve the problem of the complexity of software development. The time when there were code generating tools that did not meet the actual needs of the projects or the form-oriented solutions that entailed the designs are now in the distant past. Low-code platforms unify the maturity of the software development sector in a single solution.

The goals of these platforms are to provide companies with a strategic architectural solution in which to develop applications with much shorter delivery times than traditional development. This gives companies the time and ability to invest in innovation and to make a difference again.

Platforms focus their value on providing tools that provide the developer with the ability to build multi-experience applications in one language and deliver results in less time. Multi-experience enables you to consistently control all interactions with your users, regardless of the channel.

Narrowing the gap between idea and product

Low-code platforms also provide savings in companies in the form of more efficient equipment that requires less management, opportunity cost and immunity from technological obsolescence.

Leading platforms enable the creation of scalable, secure applications with intelligent integration capabilities. The best also enable you to build solutions that are true to the user experience you design with the user in mind, and not the tools.

Really agile projects

Speed of development is combined perfectly with an agile methodology based on continuous definition and delivery with close business alignment.

With to this type of solution, we can assist in projects from the outset due to rapid and functional prototyping. Users can also give their feedback directly on the application.

More functional development teams

For the development team, it provides a wider overview of projects by reducing their size and giving greater prominence to their members, making them full-stack and, therefore, more versatile, and enabling them to spend more time working with the business or users.

Low-code incorporates a continuous innovation engine
