In recent years, driven by both market competition and the macro environment, digitalization has become an important means for companies to enhance their competitiveness and maintain sustainable development. Most companies have realized the importance of digital transformation and entered the market one after another.
As a new method of data-driven business innovation, there are not many successful cases in the industry. For enterprises, digitalization is a process of continuous trial and error. Enterprises should formulate digital transformation plans according to their own characteristics , and should not copy other companies' plans mechanically.
According to relevant survey data, 40% of enterprises have achieved initial results in digital transformation, 24% of enterprises are in the planning and trial stage, and 20% of enterprises are continuing to explore and trial and error. In the end, only 16% of enterprises had successful samples and were in the stage of promotion and deepening.
Under the traditional development model, it takes at least 3-6 months for a complete software project to be implemented, and the IT department is already struggling to deal with the internal core system construction and urgent needs. Powerless. Especially in the exploration process of enterprise innovation business, the demand will change with the business situation at any time, and repeated wheel creation will lead to longer development cycle, IT resource consumption, investment cost and benefit are difficult to predict. In the long run, the impetus for comprehensive digitalization of enterprises is insufficient, resulting in ineffective digital transformation.
Therefore, when an enterprise enters digital practice, in addition to building its own development team, it is particularly important to find a technology or tool that can flexibly match business scenarios, low cost, and high performance.
Let's take building a set of internal personnel management system that covers employee information, recruitment, performance, salary and benefits, training and development, attendance management and other functions to adapt to medium-sized enterprises as an example:
01
Build using the traditional development model
In the first step , the IT team needs to communicate with the HR department to clarify the requirements;
The second step is to determine the modules and functions of the system according to the requirements document, and design the database, system architecture and interface of the system;
The third step is to use HTML, CSS, JavaScript and other technologies for front-end development according to the interface design, and to select an appropriate programming language and framework to complete the back-end development according to the system design;
The fourth step is to test the unit, integration and system;
The fifth step is to deploy the system to the server and connect to the database;
The sixth step is to provide users with training and product launch;
The seventh step is to monitor and regularly maintain the system to ensure safety and stability;
The eighth step is to continuously improve and upgrade the system according to changes in user needs.
The entire construction process is like a big cycle. Every time a link is completed, members of the requirements department, project manager, system architecture, database design, front-end, back-end, UI design, testing, system operation and maintenance, etc. need to cooperate closely and confirm repeatedly to ensure Only when the requirements department and the development team reach a consensus on the system functions and user roles can the project be completed on time and with high quality. This completion process may take 6-12 months, and the manpower and time costs are extremely high.
As a low-code visual development technology , the drag-and-drop construction method can greatly reduce the digital threshold. This development approach allows the business requirements department to lead the development process, freeing up IT resources and capabilities while shortening the lead time.

Use Wanying low-code to build
When the need to build a personnel management system is raised, the demand department can form a development team with the developers, and jointly use the Wanying low-code platform to design and develop the system. Wanying low-code covers the whole life cycle management of software applications from design, development, testing to deployment, operation and maintenance, and the development process is greatly simplified compared with the traditional model:
Visually build the background interface
01
The first step is data modeling.
According to business needs, users can use the entity model tool provided by Wanying Low Code to define the data structure, and build the corresponding data model by creating appropriate entities, such as employee information, attendance, salary, etc.;
02
The second step is business logic arrangement.
Wanying low-code platform provides powerful workflow, action flow and data flow designers, which can help users add business logic to personnel management scenarios, including data verification, workflow, permission control, etc.;
03
The third step is page design.
Utilizing the page editor provided by the Wanying low-code platform, users can easily create and layout various pages of the application. The platform also provides a rich UI component library. Users can add and arrange UI components according to their needs by dragging and dropping, and quickly build an interface that meets the needs of the business side;
Finally, in terms of testing, deployment and operation and maintenance.
Wanying Low Code provides users with testing and debugging tools to verify the functional logic of the application. After completing the development process and testing, the user can deploy the application to its own server. During the deployment process, the user can pass the background Configure parameters such as the operating environment and database connection. In addition, Wanying Low Code also provides application management and monitoring tools, so that users can continuously track the performance of applications to ensure the safe and stable operation of the system.
Wanying low-code provides full-process visual development process management and modular software development methods, making the development process intuitive and easy to understand, truly realizing "what you see is what you get", which can greatly improve the participation of business departments in the software development process , so that business and IT can fully cooperate, so as to achieve precise matching of business needs; at the same time, after the product is launched, it can be adjusted and changed according to business needs, and various modules can be flexibly combined through the unique low-code assembled application architecture to optimize application functions. Make timely adjustments and optimizations.
In the digital age, the delivery shortcomings of the traditional development model will be quickly supplemented by low-code, and the two will gradually complement each other to form a delivery efficiency that matches business development and management mechanism adjustments. As a "booster" for digital transformation, low-code platforms have gradually been proven by the market. In the future, with the support of the hyperautomation platform, the low-code capability quadrant will continue to be expanded and extended to facilitate a broader, deeper, and more agile digital transformation.
