Are your IT projects multiplying while your resources are shrinking?
Business teams many applications can be deployed more quickly and integrated seamlessly into the central IT system.

IT departments can harness the No code potential to optimize resources and focus on more complex projects.
No code platforms allow "citizen developers", business users without advanced technical skills, to create functional business applications and automate processes without technical skills.
This democratization of technology is transforming the way companies develop and deploy applications.
Instead of figuring out all the aspects of software that need to be a part of "any" I.T. system (infrastructure, servers, existing tech stack, frameworks, databases, integration possibilities, authentication and security mechanisms, business teams can solve the business problem directly.
Secondly, providing visual interfaces and pre-built components saves time and implies less errors because the building blocks themselves are maintained by the software provider.
No code opens technology into companies. Business teams can prototype, test, and deploy applications in days instead of months, ensuring faster adaptation to market or operational needs.
No code is about being more autonomous when facing digital challenges.
The main goal is to reduce the dependance from IT teams on the delivery part of business solutions.
With No code, IT departments don't build the applications but guide and support business teams to do so.
To measure this impact, a clear indicator can be set :
How much No code has reduced the IT project backlog (in %) ?
A significant decrease indicates that business teams can develop and deploy solutions without constant intervention from professional developers, which is positive in terms of resource optimization.
It frees IT departments from handling smaller requests, allowing them to focus on more strategic projects.
Another indicator can be pertinent.
Knowing what would have been the cost of increasing IT resources to develop the applications by business teams with No code platforms.
Shadow IT refers to the use of software not approved by
the company’s IT department.
With the No code methodology, organizations can create an environment where business needs are met while maintaining centralized control over data and applications.
Implementing No code solutions is not magic.
Doing it without IT oversight can lead to shadow IT, security risks, vulnerabilities, and additional costs, especially when urgent fixes are required or rework becomes necessary to meet performance standards.
The IT implication is still mandatory in the overall process of creation, if only for the algorithmic aspects.
No code is a powerful approach for gaining business agility and can empower business teams to implement the processes and interfaces they need. However, it is only when this is done with the IT department that the approach becomes sustainable, and the benefits are maximized.
- Supporting business teams through training, monitoring, and ongoing support for new applications.
- Ensuring governance by selecting secure tools, addressing data usage, defining approved use cases and validate the security of what is implemented.
- Fostering engagement by building an application catalog and promoting usage through workshops, webinars, and hackathons.
While Low code platforms offer extensive flexibility and customization, No code platforms are designed for non-developers (Citizen developers) with limited development skills. No code platforms allow business users to create applications, but they are typically restricted in terms of complexity and customizability.
On the other hand, Enterprise Low code platforms offer full creative and technical control, empowering developers to extend the platform’s capabilities by creating reusable custom components.
Convertigo is the FullStack platform for No code and Low code application development.
As the Open Source alternative to other Enterprise grade platforms such as Microsoft Power Apps, it transforms how companies deploy their business solutions with a dual approach: Low code for IT departments and No code for business teams.
The Convertigo platform is enriched with over 300 connectors allowing smooth and fast integration with various applications and databases and can be hosted On Premises.
Convertigo has offices in France and North America and serves hundreds of SME’s and large customers (Banking, Insurance, Retail).
