What are the new development trends in the field of low-code development platforms? Use this topic to discuss this issue.
A big opportunity in 2023 exists in the field of enterprise services.
Enterprise services, that is, use digitization to improve efficiency, and use big data to solve the cost and scale problems of enterprises.
Against the background of the popular categories every year, corporate services appear less prominent, more like an unknown potential stock. But its development has been solid.
The "2022 China Enterprise Digital Intelligence Service Market Trend Insight Report" issued by Haibi Research Institute pointed out that——
The domestic enterprise-level service market is in a state of rapid growth . By the end of 2021, the overall market size will reach 3.6 trillion yuan , and it is expected to exceed 4 trillion yuan by the end of this year . It is expected that the average annual compound growth rate will reach 20% during 2020-2025.
In an article published by Tencent.com in 22 years, ten major trends were summarized for the development of the enterprise service field:
- "Digital Reality Fusion" Acceleration
- The rallying call for the listing of unicorns sounded
- Industrial intelligence enters the deep water area
- Vertical service providers welcome the harvest season
- Enterprise-level services should also sink
- Public cloud bids farewell to one dominant company
- SaaS service providers concentrate on the head
- The rise of application-based PaaS
- Low-code flourishes further
- Enterprise IM "Three Kingdoms"
Due to work attributes, let’s talk about low-code——
The role of low-code on upper-level service providers cannot be ignored.
Especially for many small and medium-sized enterprises that are scrambling to carry out digital and intelligent transformation after the outbreak of the epidemic, cost- effective and highly flexible enterprise services are their common pursuit.
The prosperity of low-code can lower the development threshold for enterprise-level service providers, reduce time, manpower, and capital costs, and adapt to market development needs.
As early as 2021, Gartner released the "2021 China ICT Technology Maturity Curve Report (Hype Cycle for ICT in China, 2021)". Low-code application development platform (LCAP) was included for the first time as an emerging technology hotspot.
Fanruan's product [ Jiandaoyun] was selected as LCAP Sample Vendor (representative vendor) by virtue of its perfect and easy-to-use product functions, lightweight delivery system, and widespread adoption under citizen development. It is also the only zero-code vendor selected in China.
Gartner's 2021 China ICT Technology Hype Cycle Report covers 20 emerging technologies and practices. For information technology leaders, it is an important reference channel to seize emerging market opportunities and create digital business revenue.
The inclusion of the low-code application development platform (LCAP) for the first time reflects the rise of this technology in China and its huge potential for future growth.
Gartner predicts:
By 2025, 70% of new applications in enterprises will be developed through low-code or no-code technologies, and by 2024, at least 75% of low-code application development efforts will be limited to small and medium-sized projects that support non-mission-critical workloads.
In this technology maturity curve, Gartner is more specific to the current situation of the Chinese market, and predicts that in the next 2-5 years, low-code platforms will tend to be adopted mainstream in China.
So what are the advantages of low-code platforms? ——

1. Fast landing, fast launch, and fast iteration
The traditional development model is a time - consuming and dynamic process——
In terms of time, the traditional system development and launch time can be as short as a few months or as long as a few years . Let alone the human and financial costs spent in this process, how many companies can spend such a long time on the line? Can afford it?
From an application point of view, enterprise business is a constantly changing and dynamic process, but traditionally developed systems are "heavy" and update iterations are slow, which will continuously consume the material and financial resources of the enterprise and drive up costs.
But if you use a low-code or even zero-code platform, this cycle will be greatly shortened——
Based on Jiandao Cloud 's self-construction capability + the cross-organization collaboration capability of the enterprise interconnection function , Gangfook Jewelry has implemented a supplier management system that meets the actual business needs of the enterprise in just 4 weeks.
By using a low-code platform, Shenzhen Huarui Technology built a project management system within 3 months for two business personnel who do not understand development: Compared with traditional code development, it greatly shortens the development cycle and saves labor costs .
Longyan Company uses the Jiandaoyun low-code platform to independently build 60+ mobile applications , and the basic version of its "Ping An Longyan" epidemic prevention and control mobile application can be launched within 1 day at the fastest!
2. Precise permission control, custom access data
In Jiandao Cloud, the enterprise is like a safe with multiple layers of passwords, and the authority is the key to open the safe. Different permissions determine how many layers of passwords a company member can open and which level of safe they can view.
From the perspective of using Jiandaoyun, permissions are mainly divided into two categories, namely administrator permissions and member permissions.
- Administrator privileges: Possess address book management privileges and application editing privileges.
- Member Permissions: Access and data permissions for members.
3. Development by all, lower cost
Traditional development systems require hand-coding every part of the system, which is very difficult and costly in time and labor.
Some large enterprises may not lack professional talents, but for small and medium-sized enterprises, the cost of training a technical talent is relatively high.
The low-code platform allows business personnel who do not understand code to easily develop applications. As long as you understand the business, you can develop a personalized business system that meets your needs.
For example, our company's financial reimbursement system was independently developed by financial colleagues. The low-code development platform has truly realized the development of all people, thereby reducing the cost of the entire process.
4. API integrates external data to solve the problem of data islands
The API provides an easy way for users with programming ability to integrate Jiandao Cloud data with other external data.
With the API, the newly added/updated data of the third party can be written into Jiandao Cloud through the form interface and data interface, and the data of Jiandao Cloud can also be queried in the third-party system, which is convenient for enterprises to process the data of multi-party systems.
For example, in order system management, order data needs to be saved locally on a regular basis. At this time, you can use the query multiple data interfaces in the API interface to obtain order data within a certain period of time by writing code and save it locally. .
etc......
To sum up, low-code has three major advantages in continuously optimizing the development model and development pattern in the field of enterprise informatization :
Ease of use: The low-code usage threshold is very low, and users can quickly build personalized management applications that meet their needs like building blocks without a code foundation.
cut costs:
(1) Time cost: using a low-code platform to build applications, the traditional development model often takes a month to complete the construction, and the low-code platform may be completed in a few hours, which greatly saves the time and cost of enterprise application development
(2) Labor cost: Ordinary salesmen in the enterprise can operate applications through simple learning, reducing the need for professional R&D personnel, thereby reducing labor costs
(3) Money cost: When the needs of the enterprise change, through the configuration of the low-code platform, the application can be quickly modified according to the demand, which greatly reduces the risk and cost of secondary development compared with the traditional development mode.
Improve efficiency:
(1) Delivery efficiency: Since the low-code platform application construction speed is fast, and less code means fewer bugs, using a low-code platform avoids bugs when writing code and improves application delivery efficiency;
(2) Collaboration efficiency: business personnel can know which applications can be built on the platform through simple learning, avoid "unreasonable" solutions when providing design solutions for R&D personnel, and improve the efficiency of communication and collaboration between departments
Low code will definitely become a major trend in future system development.
that's all.
