حل تشریحی سوال شماره 22 زبان عمومی و تخصصی (انگلیسی)

The origins of the no-code concept date back to the 1970s: however, it did not garner much popularity back in the day and had to wait until the second decade of the 21st century to shine. Low-code platforms are modern information systems, which combine functionalities offered by document management systems, business process management (BPM) and business process automation (BPA) solutions all without the need for any coding. Before low-code platforins, all of these solutions required the constant involvement of development teams in order to take care of their maintenance and development, as well as to implement the necessary changes. As a result, companies became more and more dependent on the services of programmers and specific development teams, which increased their operating costs due to considerable IT expenses, and at some point it brought about considerable difficulties due to the lack of highly-skilled specialists on the labor market. Other drawbacks included high investment cost and limited possibilities for introducing changes, which, together with the increasingly rapid pace of changes taking place both within the organizations, as well as in their business and legal environment, started becoming critical for more and more companies. As a result of this, IT systems, which were supposed to facilitate the operations of companies and organizations, helping them to efficiently carry out their tasks and operational activities on a daily basis, started to hinder them and slow down the natural pace of business growth due to the high change dynamics. Such a turn of events made it necessary to come up with a solution, to make it possible for the companies to take advantage of the opportunities offered by modern technologies in a more effective and efficient manner, without being constantly dependent on the services of specific development teams. Eventually, users also started paying more attention not only to the speed and effectiveness of delivery of enterprise II solutions, but also to their scalability, flexibility and ease of change, to ensure proper time to business. Eventually, low-code platforms emerged as the best solution, enabling building business applications in a quick and efficient manner, to manage and automate business processes without having to learn how to code. Their popularity is on the rise and they gain more and more users with every year, as they can better support companies in their daily operations and achieving their business objectives.
