      Creating software without extensive programming knowledge - this is possible with low-code applications and platforms. These new tools offer companies great opportunities. Profitability increases because processes can be made significantly more efficient and agile.

      But where can companies start in practice? And which factors are particularly important for the success of low-code utilisation? Answers are provided in the white paper "Low-code is a cultural transformation", which KPMG produced together with the market research institute HfS.

      On low-code platforms, users assemble software elements using a modular principle. They combine prefabricated modules. In other words, they configure rather than programme. Chief Information Officers should view low-code as a strategic approach that offers significant leverage for increasing efficiency and speeding up internal processes.

      However, in order to realise the potential, it is important to create an innovation-friendly environment internally: The more co-operatively the low-code options are tested in teams, the more successful the cross-team and cross-departmental exchange of knowledge and, ultimately, the better the final process results.

      Mindset, governance, collaboration: what is particularly important with low-code

      In the white paper, our experts shed light on the decisive factors of platform implementation and collaboration - from the mindset of the people involved and the necessary governance to the design options for modernised centres of excellence. The effects of low-code applications on costs and IT security, among other things, are shown in detail.

      Practical findings are also an integral part of the report. Three managers classify current low-code implementation measures in their organisations and thus offer readers guidance. According to Robert Kesterton, Head of Business Optimisation at the British consumer cooperative Co-op (110,000 employees, €15 billion turnover), for example, the experiences of a Centre of Excellence will set automation processes in motion throughout the company in future. The aim: increased efficiency and resilience.
