What is an enterprise low-code platform?
An enterprise low-code platform allows users to build and deploy apps quickly using visual tools, minimizing coding and enabling both technical and non-technical users to create powerful solutions. AppCreator enables you to rapidly create enterprise-grade apps through its drag-and-drop visual development interface and intuitive workflow capabilities.
Challenges faced by enterprise businesses
Data security
As enterprises handle large amounts of sensitive information, ensuring compliance with data protection regulations like the GDPR and HIPAA while securing data against breaches is critical. This challenge involves safeguarding data across multiple platforms while managing access controls and encryption standards.
Scalability
As organizations grow, their technical infrastructure must scale efficiently, handling increased traffic and resource demands while maintaining performance, flexibility, and responsiveness.
Integration issues
Seamlessly integrating legacy systems with newer technologies is a frequent challenge. This can lead to data silos, inefficiencies, and increased complexity, as older platforms may not support modern APIs or integration protocols.
A backlog of IT tasks
Rapidly increasing business demands combined with ad hoc internal IT requirements increase the backlog of IT tasks significantly. With a limited number of developers, enterprise IT teams find it extremely difficult to deliver consistently on all fronts.
How can low-code apps cater to your enterprise?

Benefits of using an enterprise low-code platform
Faster development
Low-code platforms allow developers to build apps in a fraction of the time by using visual interfaces, drag-and-drop features, and reusable components, significantly speeding up the app life cycle from design to deployment.
Lower costs
With reduced reliance on highly specialized coding skills, enterprises can cut down on labor costs and reduce time spent on bug fixing and updates. Fewer developers are needed and maintenance is simpler, lowering long-term expenses.
Flexibility
Low-code platforms offer significant flexibility, allowing organizations to quickly adapt to market or internal changes and make updates to apps built on these platforms. This eliminates the need for a complete redevelopment, saving time and resources.
Empowerment
Non-technical business users, like department managers or analysts, can create or modify apps using the simple drag-and-drop functionality. This democratizes app development and speeds up innovation by enabling those closest to business problems to contribute directly.
Extensibility
Low-code platforms provide prebuilt connectors, custom connectors, and APIs to integrate with and extend legacy and contemporary tech deployments. This makes them suitable for rapid digital transformation in enterprises.
Security
Low-code platforms are subject to stringent security tests at the platform level to ensure that applications developed on them are inherently secure. This eliminates the need to dedicate specialized effort to ensuring application security, which saves time and money.
Enterprise low-code platform use cases
IT process automation
Repetitive IT processes such as incident management, asset tracking, and employee onboarding and offboarding can be seamlessly automated with a low-code application platform (LCAP). This improves organizational productivity and efficiency.
Field service management
Most LCAPs can deploy all the native mobile versions of an application simultaneously. Field service management operations benefit greatly from this because personnel in the field can access data and conduct operations from the comfort of their handhelds.
GRC
Robust GRC frameworks can be developed on LCAPs in a fraction of the time when compared to traditional approaches. This enables enterprises to govern effectively, mitigate risks smoothly, and comply with global regulations seamlessly.
Customer portals
Customer portals are a great way for enterprises to provide their stakeholders with access to applications and data. On most low-code platforms, portals have role-based access and can be fully customized, enabling enterprises to provide a smooth digital experience through them.
