The line between citizen developers and IT pros gets fuzzier - is that a problem?
Summary
To get applications moving faster, finance team members at ABC "decided to create their own custom solutions utilizing no-code tools," Hemming said. With such APIs, "non-IT professionals like junior product managers or business analysts can develop a basic prototype, expanding the number of people in an organization that can build apps or software systems," Berry added. Without technical expertise, business users find challenges in ensuring applications are secure, compliant with data regulations, and aligned with company policies." "Additionally, ensuring that these apps are scalable and can integrate smoothly with existing enterprise systems remains a challenge as collaboration with IT departments is likely still a factor here." For more sophisticated projects, "AI can assist these users in generating code, suggesting functionalities or even fully automating parts of the app-building process, drastically reducing the time and technical expertise required to develop apps," Berry continued.
