2. Low-code can "make a C debut" in the digital transformation of enterprises. Why?
3. Low-code digital construction capabilities
I. Introduction
In the past two years, I have found that all my CIO/CTO friends around me are suffering from a "disease" - "digital anxiety".
They often frown and ask me: "Bosses are paying more and more attention to digitalization, which also means that CIOs are under increasing pressure. How to improve software delivery speed? How to reduce development costs? How to help enterprises innovate? How to bring Incremental value? "
Before answering these questions, I usually tell them a story:
A CIO of a high-tech company led the team to develop more than 400 micro-applications on DingTalk's low-code ecosystem, supporting the company's annual business volume of more than 900 million, and more than 2,500 people use the system they developed every day.
You must think that this CIO is a technical expert. He led a technical team of fifty or sixty people to complete the construction of these systems.
But in fact, he is not from a professional background. Before he became the company's CIO, he was the deputy director of the workshop and the head of the production department. There are only 7 people in his team, and they are all from non-major backgrounds like him, and even a few are fresh graduates.
He is the CIO of Fenghua New Energy - Luo Xunheng. With this integrated solution from R&D, production to supply chain and sales, he was selected into People's Daily Online's "Digital Technology Empowering Real Economy Case".
2. Low-code can "make a C debut" in the digital transformation of enterprises. Why?
From the transformation cases, we can see that low-code has performed very well in terms of rapid delivery and reduced development costs , which is one of the reasons why low-code has suddenly exploded in the past two years.
Many industry leaders are also very optimistic about the development prospects of low code. Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, said at the Microsoft China Enlightenment Partner Conference: " By 2025, 70% of new applications deployed for enterprises will use low-code or no-code tools, and the proportion in 2020 is less than 20%. to 25%. Power Platform (Microsoft's application development platform, mainly low-code) has 20 million monthly active users."
What about the development of low-code in China? The number of low-code applications has exceeded 5 million+, and the number of low-code developers has reached 3.8 million+. Combining the opinions of industry leaders and data from the market, it is not difficult to see that Chinese companies have fully entered the low-code era. What is the reason for the rapid rise of low code in a short period of time?
I have summarized 3 points:
First, enterprises have a strong demand for digital tools that can quickly iterate and adapt to business needs. More enterprises have realized the necessity of digitalization and the value of low-code.
Second, the product capabilities of low-code itself are constantly increasing, and the operating experience is getting better and better.
Third, the "low-code ecosystem" around low-code is constantly forming, and the ecological model of platform + manufacturer + service provider magnifies and deepens the value of low-code.
3. Low-code digital construction capabilities
Most people only know that low-code is good, but don't understand where it is "good"?
Taking the JNPF rapid development platform, an excellent low-code construction platform in the group , as an example, its low-code advantages are expanded in detail:

01. Coexistence of multiple projects: quickly build the basic framework
You can easily create new projects, multiple projects coexist on one platform, and you can view all projects at a glance.
02. Visual drag-and-drop layout tool: easy interface design
Provides a large number of business components, covering common functional requirements, such as forms, charts, maps, etc. These components have been carefully designed and optimized, allowing you to easily build applications with rich features and superior performance.
03. Workflow engine: Simplify complex business processes
A powerful workflow engine is built in to help you easily handle complex business processes. Through simple configuration, you can realize automatic task assignment, approval, notification and other functions, greatly improving work efficiency.
04. Large-screen designer: rich statistical chart components make data visualization better
The large screen designer has thousands of statistical graph components to choose from, covering various common data visualization needs. Through the big screen designer, you can easily add various cool data charts to your project, making the data presentation more intuitive and vivid.
05. Self-contained management background: easy project management
It provides you with a fully functional management background, allowing you to easily manage and maintain your projects. Here, you can view the running status of the project, manage users and permissions, configure system parameters, etc., making project operation and maintenance simple and efficient.
06. Custom components: create unique applications
If you are still not enough for existing components, JNPF also supports custom components. You can write custom components according to your own needs, adding unique functions and styles to your application.
07. Custom API: Easily extend functions
Allows you to customize the API, allowing you to easily extend functionality based on project needs. You can write your own API to implement specific business logic, making your project more powerful and flexible. Support users to write SQL statements, or connect to third-party interfaces.
08. Support multiple databases: meet different data storage requirements
It supports a variety of databases, such as MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Dameng, Renda Jincang, etc., to meet your different data storage needs. Whether it is a relational database or a non-relational database, JNPF can easily handle it and make your project more scalable.
09. Simple project deployment: one-click release and launch
JNPF makes project deployment extremely easy. With just one-click operation, your project can be easily published to the server to achieve rapid launch. No longer have to worry about the tedious deployment process, so that your application can be launched faster.
10. Support the source code cooperation of the entire platform: create a win-win situation
It adopts the SpringBoot framework, supports distributed deployment of microservices, attaches great importance to the common development with partners, and supports the source code cooperation of the entire platform. This means that you can obtain the complete source code of the platform, carry out secondary development, and create unique value.
4. Conclusion
Above, we talked about the vigorous development of low-code in China, and how enterprises can use low-code to reduce costs and increase efficiency, and obtain real benefits. Low-code has also fundamentally cured the "digital anxiety" of CIO/CTO From now on, there will be no "mental internal friction" anymore.
Compared with the traditional software development model, low-code is a deep-level software revolution, an irreversible, all-washing, subversive change. The status of low-code in the digital construction of enterprises is also becoming more and more important, and a complete "ecosystem" has been formed, a system of synergy and symbiosis.
The low-code era has come, and every enterprise CIO/CTO is called upon to firmly grasp the dividends of technological change, forge ahead amidst uncertainties, go through cycles, and help enterprises evolve into new species that best adapt to the times.
