Developers outside of the IT department are much more likely to “go rogue,” building part of their applications outside of the native tooling of the low-code platform. While empowering citizen developers is great for productivity, it can make security and governance much more challenging. That’s because while IT professionals make good use of low-code platforms, the biggest growth is taking place among “citizen developers”-employees outside the IT department who create applications for others or themselves. According to Gartner, more than 40% of companies have active citizen development initiatives underway, and many more are either evaluating or planning to start them. While that’s an important step toward security, there are plenty of caveats to actually achieving high levels of security and governance.
“Any decent low-code platform will give you centralized control over who can access the apps, the automations and the data underneath.” The Rising Risk of the ‘Citizen Developer’ “It’s the lowest risk to the enterprise because it’s the most transparent, most governed and most controlled way to develop apps,” said Michael Beckley, acting CTO at Appian. According to Gartner, more than 65% of application development activity will be accomplished using low-code environments by 2024.ĭone right, low-code platforms can actually be more secure than traditional application development because the platform itself helps the entire development process “shift left.” This works especially well when the IT department maintains control of the low-code platform, putting the right policies in place and ensuring that they are enforced. These platforms, fronted by a graphical user interface and intended to be easier to use than traditional development methods, are growing fast. Instantly get a Pre-Built suite of ‘ready-to-consume’ micro-apps for different Industry verticals and foster real collaboration while using the apps, with Pre-built suite of communication and messaging capabilities.įor more information about this news, visit companies than ever are turning to low-code platforms to speed application development and reduce the burden on IT staffs.Group together Contextual micro-apps based on role, department, location, etc and enable a Google-like search experience for enterprise apps to conduct quick searches.Distribute and provide a single point of access for all micro-apps from within a single application using Single Sign-On and facilitate analytics on adoption and usage of enterprise applications.Rapidly develop micro-applications on top of any enterprise system and instantly publish each app to users in real time without App Store approval.With this integration in place, WaveMaker enables customers to: To enable this approach, WaveMaker customized its existing visual - WYSWYG interface to extend support for development of micro-apps and ‘1-Click publish’ experience to instantly push the micro-apps to users without an app store for publishing or approval.
This approach dramatically reduces the time to develop new apps and significantly improves user experience. Micro-apps are purpose-built apps with a simplified experience to perform user tasks or workflows through various systems within an enterprise.Īll micro-apps developed using the WaveMaker low-code platform can be automatically bundled within a single enterprise-branded SpotCues app along with an integrated sign-in experience. The integration of WaveMaker and SpotCues addresses all these challenges, leveraging WaveMaker’s low-code approach to developing cross platform micro-applications and a single distribution channel for all apps through SpotCues’ ‘mobile container’ concept. “In addition, enterprise IT teams are challenged with the number of apps they are required to develop and manage and additionally enterprise users are currently forced to switch between these apps, signing in multiple times and leading to poor experience and loss of productivity.” “Enterprises are struggling to deliver against their mobile initiatives due to the complexity of developing and delivering cross platform mobile applications at scale,” said Deepak Anupalli, co-founder and VP products, WaveMaker. WaveMaker, an enterprise low-code platform, is entering its next phase of integration with SpotCues to provide customers with a seamless application delivery mechanism for mobile applications.
