Many of the AD&D professionals surveyed reported that they felt understaffed and overwhelmed when it came to delivering the software required to support the transformations they are planning.

Gartner Survey on digital business  -  "While IT delivery is still a responsibility of the CIO, achieving revenue growth and developing digital transformation were identified most often as top business priorities for organizations in 2018. If CIOs want to remain relevant, they need to align their activities with the business priorities of their organizations.

McKinsey article on B2B Digital Leadership - “Digitization has made providing consistent, high-quality customer interactions a competitive differentiator, no matter the channel.”

Low code development platforms enable IT to become more responsive to the needs of the business by providing a platform that allows powerful enterprise apps to be easily and quickly developed and launched.  The result is the ability to swiftly transform concepts into solutions that are innovative and not disruptive.
