One of the most compelling advantages of Low Code and No Code platforms is their ability to democratize progress. These tools empower a broad spectrum of employees to take ownership of digital projects, fostering innovation and creating new digital uses. When combined with generative artificial intelligence, they become a formidable force, ensuring a seamless transition to digital. Gregory Wintrebert, President of Bureau Technologies and CEO Financial Services Group of Sopra Steria, emphasizes this point: “Low Code and No Code practices considerably accelerate the development of our businesses. This also accelerates their performance as it represents an essential vector of digitalization.”
Pierre Launay, President of the French Union of NoCode Professionals (SFPN) and CEO of Cube, echoes this sentiment. He notes, “The sector has left the exploratory phase of the subject to enter a period of exploitation.We are not yet in a generalization phase, but companies of all sizes are accumulating feedback that shows the richness and diversity of the ecosystem.”
Real Levers for Business Transformation
The benefits of Low Code and No Code extend beyond mere efficiency. Benjamin Jean, CEO of Inno3, highlights the transformative impact on company culture: “It is vital to keep in mind that these modes represent changes in state of mind. Both for the company and for the employees. Allowing stakeholders to produce software themselves or to collaborate in this production constitutes a change in mentality that is beneficial to everyone.”
Guillaume Fenez, Founder and CEO of We are Cyber, adds, “This allows for efficiency and a lever for competitiveness within companies. particularly among the smallest. Especially as maintenance costs are lower. We are truly witnessing a rapprochement between the profession and IT. This represents a tremendous chance.”
the Need for Training and Skill Development
As the adoption of low Code and No Code platforms grows, so does the need for training. jessica Weinreb, Co-founder of the Au Carré agency, underscores the importance of equipping employees with the necessary skills: “as a development agency, we have a technical position but also an understanding of business needs. We support citizen developers to develop the content of their submission and help them understand the nature of their needs.”
Points to Watch Out For
Despite their numerous advantages, Low Code and No Code platforms are not without challenges. the rapid development of artificial intelligence raises ethical questions that companies must navigate carefully. Experts advise businesses to stay attuned to market developments and avoid falling prey to fleeting trends.
