How Accurate Are the Claims of Outsystems on the ROI of Low Code?

Low-code is likely to become a standard across many organizations. “Every business user at a company is generally given the same set of productivity tools: Email, Chat, Word Processor, Spreadsheet, and a Presentation tool,” said Tejas Gadhia, who is the Head Evangelist for Zoho Creator and the Zoho Developer Platform. “Low-code tools will sit alongside these applications for every employee of an organization as they will be considered a core productivity tool.” Zoho Creator, which was launched in 2006, is one of the top low-code tools on the market. It has over 1 million users and 3 million applications built.
If anything, low-code will probably be essential for being competitive in the years ahead. “Every day in the news, it seems, we hear about another company that is either being disrupted or going out of business completely as they weren’t able to adapt quickly enough,” said Paulo. “Organizations simply cannot spend years trying to get their IT shops in order so that they can compete. Low-code provides a real and proven way for organizations to develop new digital solutions much faster and leapfrog their competitors.”
