The low-code movement continues to gain momentum. According to Gartner, the worldwide low-code development technologies market is projected tototal $13.8 billion in 2021, representing a YoY increase of 22.6% from 2020.Nearly a decade has passed sinceForrester coined the term “low-code,” saying at the time that “Low-code platforms enable rapid delivery of business applications with a minimum of hand-coding and minimal upfront investment in setup, training, and deployment.” Low-code development platforms (LCDP) accomplish this through intuitive graphical user interfaces and configuration as opposed to traditional hand coding processes.Since a LCDP requires little to no coding to build applications, users that have no formal knowledge or training in software development can create their own. Professional developers also benefit from low-code tools by eliminating time-consuming manual coding tasks, allowing them to focus on more valuable aspects of an application. A low-code BPM platform combines low-code development tools with business process management capabilities. Business users can create and quickly deploy applications to accelerate the automaton of business processes. A low-code BPM includes the following capabilities:
- Business intelligence
- Process modeling
- Process analysis
- Process optimization
- Process monitoring
- Workflow automation
- Enterprise application integration
