While automation has been around since the creation of computers, simplifying automation is a new concept that focuses on reducing the effort and time needed to automate business processes and application creation.
Automation today falls under one of two streams:
No-Code & Low-Code
In No-Code, code is hidden behind graphical elements that allows drag-drop actions to design automated processes and application building without actual coding or even knowledge of any programing language.
Business of all sorts can reap the benefits of such capabilities and:
Customizable process templates, dashboards, and configuration elements
Pre-built connectors to integrate with third party applications and accelerate productivity
Ready-to-use apps to extend functionalities
Out-of-the-box solutions that deliver task-specific or industry-specific features and capabilities
Easy-to-use yet comprehensive mechanisms that help configure new predictive models, re-train them to keep the models up-to-date and view the prediction results to analyze the most influential factors.
Includes out-of-the-box dashboards that enable monitoring business operations in real time and tools to configure custom dashboards and reports.
Powerful capabilities for full-cycle data management, which allows users to instantly find the necessary information, segment data by various criteria, change data views in sections, import data without touching the code and many more.
Customize the mobile app as quickly and easily as it takes to customize the desktop application.
Low-Code technology caters to both citizen developers and professional developers. Because low-code platforms can still involve coding, they are capable of creating larger and more complex applications than no-code platforms typically can.
low-code largely replaces the need to create custom code with a collection of ready-to-go UI components, boilerplate scripts and integrations, solution blueprints, visual workflow automation tools, and other user-friendly features.
Cut software development time in half by using a wide range of pre-built system components. To create modern UIs, workflows, and data models, you need to drag-and-drop a component to the working area and configure it in a proper way.
Connect your systems and centralize data to create a digital ecosystem. Use ready-made connectors to enable seamless bi-directional integration with third-party applications. Create custom integrations using API protocols like REST, SOAP, or RPC to retrieve data, automatically handle their structure and database updates, and launch workflows based on events or predefined business rules. Open API combined with visual modeling tools make it 10x faster to create new digital experiences and modernize legacy systems.
Discover customer insights instantly and make data-driven business decisions. Use built-in AI capabilities such as classification, scoring, next best offer (NBO) and next best action (NBA) recommendations to ensure a better customer experience. Build machine learning (ML) models to generate accurate predictions without writing code or hiring a data scientist. Create chatbots and conduct sentiment analysis using natural language processing (NLP) tools
Simplify and streamline application management processes – from business requirement analysis and development to maintenance. Unify all development environments in a single view to gain end-to-end visibility and ensure security
