In the economic downturn, the promise of low-code platforms to accelerate software delivery has resulted in a flurry of competition and acquisitions. The need to remove any red-tape from the app modernization process has never been greater during the Covid-19 crisis, prompting executive directives for organizations to accelerate digital transformations. Whether enterprises are entrenched in new software delivery efforts or barely beginning them, Covid-19’s impact has CIOs opting for emerging technologies in order to hurry along digital projects and combat the inevitable economic impact.

As a result, enterprises are motivated to prioritize their modern software delivery initiatives through the high-productivity development tools of low-code platforms. Heightened importance around low-code app development platforms has been prompted by complex application architectures, a global shortage of professional software developers, and the need for business transformation delivered through meaningful back-end data integrations.
