The Low-Code Movement

Abstract

Low-code is one of many topics that have been brought up to address two perennial problems: the growing shortage of software developers and the methodological gap between business requirements and implementation. With low-code, you give business users and process owners the tools they need to build systems and make process improvements on their own, with minimal technical support. To be successful, digital strategy initiatives today and in the future will need to think of and include tools that empower their business users and help accelerate process automation. This chapter provides a general understanding of low-code platforms, explores the current research on the topic through a bibliometric analysis, and analyses the impact of low-code on digital transformation.
