Resonate enables companies to create agile strategy with apps, automation and analytics by utilising low-code solutions.
The low-code and no-code revolution allows companies to create applications that were previously only within the financial reach of big organisations.
The Microsoft Gold Partners and UCC experts, Resonate, can help companies deploy various Microsoft apps, automation and analytics solutions to improve outdated processes.
Harkirat Degun, Product Director at Resonate, said: “The introduction of low-code / no-code platforms has completely changed the game.
“Bespoke apps and tools are nothing new. Companies have been enjoying the benefits of these apps, such as tracking shift and schedule changes and ensuring their valuable data is securely stored but accessible within the organisation.
“What is different now is that more companies than ever can access them. This allows them to transform at a pace they were unable to in the past. Low-code / no-code platforms are levelling the playing field.”
What is the No-Code/Low-Code Revolution?
Both low-code and no-code platforms are making it easier than ever for companies to build applications to improve their internal company processes.
Low-code solutions are becoming increasingly useful in a post-pandemic world where the need for companies to be agile is even greater. A report by McKinsey & Company found that the pandemic has accelerated digital transformation by around seven years, which means companies unable to meet this rapid pace of change will be at a major disadvantage.
Low-code requires a basic understanding of programming, whereas no-code allows anyone, no matter their technical background, to create business applications using a drag-and-drop approach.
The major benefit of using low-code solutions is that it is much cheaper to create applications than paying for a programmer to build a bespoke app from scratch.
There is also a clear time saving to be had as IT teams can spend their time working on other projects rather than being tied into an app build.
Productivity is another area which can benefit from low-code applications. Employees can easily fill their workflows with tools and apps, automating some of the tasks they would have had to perform themselves.
Citizen developers are also able to create solutions much more quickly, as compared with a traditional development model.
According to a Gartner report, in three to five years, roughly 65% of coding for businesses will be done using low-code and no-code tools and systems supported by AI and bots.
The Microsoft Power Platform
Microsoft Power Platform is composed of five key products; Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Power Virtual Agents and Power Pages, which are a set of low-code tools to build apps, workflows, data analytics, bots and business websites.
Using the Microsoft Power platform, companies can create both automation and management solutions easily and with scalability.
Power Automate enables companies to use low-code, drag-and-drop tools, plus hundreds of pre-built connectors, to automate repetitive tasks that hamper business performance.
Business apps can help to increase productivity by reducing repetitive tasks for employees, such as syncing data to the cloud or notifying colleagues of document updates.
Staff management applications can replace human resource management processes, including onboarding tasks, holiday requests, and shift changes.
