What\u2019s all the buzz?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not familiar, with this new approach to software development, low-code enables you to build apps using pre-built components in a visual environment (using drag-and-drop). As a result, low-code allows more agility, cutting down the time spent on building and deploying apps as well as requiring less engineering efforts than traditional development methodologies. It delivers high-quality solutions quickly and no advanced developer skills are required!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Gartner, \u201cby 2024, low-code application development will be responsible for more than 65 percent of application development activity\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn1\">[1]<\/a>.

Low-code is the real deal and it\u00b4s already happening now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">But, if you\u2019re new to low-code development, where do you begin?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To get started, check out \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.plm.automation.siemens.com\/global\/en\/resource\/low-code-application-development\/84874\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Principles of Low-Code Development<\/a>\u201d.

Makers across the organization are enabled to tear down the barriers of what is possible with software and increase the impact on business value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">With low-code: It\u2019s about collaboration.
