In today‘sfast evolving business environment, it‘s essentialfor companies to innovate across their operations,which not only enables them to respond to shiftingdemands, but also empowers them to implementnecessary software solutions that help maintaintheir competitiveness. Therefore, efficiency, and theability to swiftly adapt to changing marketconditions, have become significant competitiveadvantages for businesses. Additionally, the findings not only emphasize thetransformative potential of Low-Code, but alsoilluminate the necessity for companies tostrategically align their technology investments withthe trends and growth patterns specific to theirregions, as well as with emerging innovations suchas Artificial Intelligence (AI), to secure long-termsuccess in a competitive market. These platforms offer visual drag-and-dropdevelopment environments that empower evennon-developers (so called “Citizen Developers”) tocreate complex applications, thereby reducingdependency on specialized developers andaccelerating the development process. While Low-Code platforms offer substantialadvantages, they also face challenges - such asintegration complexities and varying regionalpriorities, that could impact their global adoption.Understanding these differences is essential, asthey highlight why Low-Code is not just relevant,but critical for business success. The strategicinsights gathered in this study underscore thegrowing importance of Low-Code platforms inmaintaining competitiveness, urging companies toactively integrate these technologies for them tothrive in today‘s rapidly evolving digital landscape.The findings highlight the opportunity companiesare reaping from Low-Code, enhancing their abilityand efficiency when integrating these capabilitiesinto their operations. Conclusively, the findingsindicate those firms that does not use Low-Codeare potentially missing out on these benefits. These and other areas are examined in detail in thisfollow-up study. The insights are drawn from aKPMG survey of 2,170 IT and business executivesacross diverse industries, providing a robustfoundation for the analysis. The survey respondentsare employees from companies across Europe, theMiddle East, Africa, the USA, and ASPAC, withcompany sizes ranging from 50 to over 5,000employees. The growing importance of customized softwaresolutions is a derivative of the growing use of digitaltechnologies that increasingly shape all of what wedo. Having the right software shapes the criticalpath of operational execution and competitiveadvantages. Traditionally, developing software wasa time-consuming and expensive process, requiringextensive programming knowledge anddevelopment resources. However, Low-Codeplatforms have revolutionized this approach, byenabling faster and more simplified softwaredevelopment.
