How?

IT needs to develop solutions that provide accessibility to the right data at the right time and meet the needs of engineers and manufacturers.

Moving away from the traditional software development approach, IT needs to work with domain experts — involving them in the development process.

Product

Production

Performance

A lack of accessibility to data and legacy manual processes impact innovation.
Siloed functions result in a lack of transparency and collaboration across key teams.

Why traditional development doesn't work

No real-time feedback from tools, technology, data or people

No personalization or adaptability

Slow development process

Delay in time to value

What does work?

Adopt new ways to develop applications

Focus on collaboration among people, data and tools

Use a flexible, open ecosystem to access the right data across the organization

Low-code application development can help you connect your silos so your company can accelerate innovation.

What is low-code development?

STEVEN: IT Developer

  • Communicates with others through a requirements document.

    Lots of time waiting for latest version

    Potential errors if using wrong version

  • Must finish other work before focusing on business problems.

    Little time for innovation

WITH LOW-CODE

Steven has extra support in his work.
  • He works with a broader team outside of software development to build solutions.
  • He has more time to focus on innovative projects that support the business.
He can build applications faster.
  • He leverages drag-and-drop and reusable capabilities.
  • He doesn't have to write code if he doesn't need to.
He has easier communication with users and teams.
  • The feedback loop is more instant.
  • Everyone has access to the same version of applications.

MICHELLE: Engineer

GOALS

  • Ensure products are at the high level of quality customers demand
  • Increase speed, efficiency in product design, production and performance

Challenges

  • Data is siloed from team to team or locked in legacy systems
  • Needs new capabilities faster in order to keep up with growing complexity of technology

WITH LOW-CODE

Michelle extends her toolbox.
  • Get solutions that solve her unique business problems faster.
  • Integrate solutions with all of her systems, giving her full flexibility and adaptability.
  • Reach designers, manufacturers, supply chain and customers with a single solution.
Michelle connects her complex landscape.
  • Access siloed sources of information.
  • Bridge the physical and digital worlds of the product, shop floor or production line.
Michelle increases efficiency across the teams.
  • Free up time to innovate by automating redundant, manual tasks.
  • Improve design, production or performance with real-time insights.

What will you achieve?

As your organization leverages these low-code capabilities, you'll break down the barriers holding back your innovation.

Collaboration

IT will reduce its backlog.

  • More bandwidth to solve business challenges
  • More time to innovate
  • More focus on projects to drive the business forward

Domain experts will help build solutions and don't need to learn new programming languages.

  • Engineering
  • Manufacturing
  • Quality

Solutions will easily include information from across the whole organization.

  • Greater efficiency
  • New visibility unlocked
  • Faster delivery

As a result...

Collaboration between IT and domain experts is easier, and you can finally remove the silos blocking your innovation.

  • Solutions have the right data
  • Your organization can quickly:
    • Address maintenance issues
    • Enable supplier collaboration
    • Confirm quality assurance
    • Optimize inventory inspections

Take the first step in
reimagining innovation.

To build the best applications, you need collaboration that goes beyond working with other parts of your organization.

Low-code application development helps you leverage everything you need:

People and their skill sets

Real-time data

Tools

Technology

So you can achieve:

Integration

Integrate into, with and through your existing products.


Flexibility

Tap into an open ecosystem so teams, partners and supply chain can work together.
