Low-code develpment platforms

On traditional platforms, software programming is an activity that involves experts in certain languages, a lot of analysis of requirements between specific and generic, and finally, a lot of programming. This program, because it is intensive, requires a large IT team and a project manager who, in addition to controlling costs and deadlines, makes the interlocution of those who understand the business with whom they program. As a consequence, the projects are expensive and time consuming.
Now imagine if the programs could be done with small, one-person teams, for example, who dialogue directly with those who understand the business. What if this programmer does not have to know how to program very complex languages ​​but only select boxes, options, everything in a friendly interface with functions ready? A project would take much less time to deliver and would be much cheaper.

Low-code platforms

For all this to happen, today there are the so-called low-code platforms, which are softwares that create new softwares with low programming level. In low-code platforms the programmer only needs to know the concepts of the business well, to use some graphical interfaces and very low level of programming.
The secret of this magic is that on low-code platforms much of the generic code is ready and usually are the most complex and important parts, such as login, audit, rights and access security functions. Other specialized code categories such as report generation, document indexing, and approval rules are also available. The low-code tools are grouped into modules that can each have hundreds of parameters and tens of thousands of combinations.

    New trend in corporations

Low-code platforms are a very strong trend in corporate environments. This is due to its simplicity in programming, by the speed and consequently by the low cost of development. The adoption of low-code platforms also helps to meet the demands, reducing the time of creation of a prototype and validation with the user area.

New solutions to old problems

 Generating documentation for a system has always been hard work. The documentation should follow standards, be clear enough to understand the business area and precise enough for the development team, a hassle for the analyst and a challenge for the project manager.
Good low-code tools already generate the documentation for you with precision and always within the standards. In addition to saving a lot of time for writing and formatting, now with accurate documentation, any other developer can take a low-code project, make improvements and adaptations without rework with an easy reading of what has already been done.
Because the modules are ready and tested with many users, the quality of the final product also increases. Rarely will you find bugs in the modules so that quality tests can focus on business rules and layout.

    Where do I find a low-code platform?

The Folder245 family is a low-code platform. It allows the modeling of applications that automatically generate interfaces, automate business rules, create forms and integration objects using graphical interface and little coding, especially for the creative part of layout.

With Folder245 we can create applications and applications for various purposes, such as personnel management, contracts, stock, financial and any other application that users and developers can imagine.
