The central tenet of low-code and no-code tools — that business users can be leaned on to fill the ‘app gap’ — is resonating with enterprises.
According to Gartner, 41% of non-IT employees build or customize their own solutions — and by 2023 these “citizen developers” will outnumber professional developers fourfold in large enterprises, the research firm predicts. Most organizations already use at least one low-code tool, adopted by departments or individual users with a problem to solve. One day, perhaps soon, developing apps without writing code will become as common a business skill as email and spreadsheets, Forrester predicts.
