Budgets are as tight as ever. Pushing for new investments into technology like low code can be tricky especially when you may not be convinced of the value in the first place. This week the team addresses the question of whether low code is worth the financial tradeoff for an industrial business. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Low-code application development myths<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If this is your first episode, <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/podcasts\/where-today-meets-tomorrow\/low-code-and-the-case-of-the-inefficient-candy-manufacturer-a-wtmt-special-podcast-mini-series-ep-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the series<\/a> is focused on myth-busting the misconceptions around low-code application development.
