As an IT manager, the thought of developing applications without having to learn complex code can be music to your ears. This provides greater agility, speed and capacity. This is the promise of low-code – a revolutionary technology that is changing not only the way software is developed, but also the future of IT management. What about that exactly? What does the future of IT management look like with the emerging low-code? We’ll tell you about that in this blog.
What challenges does an IT manager face?
As an IT manager, you run into a variety of challenges. Consider, for example, ensuring data security and privacy at a time when cyber threats are on the rise. Technology upgrades and implementations also require a lot of time and resources, in addition to often having to work with limited IT budgets.
Attracting, retaining and developing talented IT personnel is also a big job. On top of that, you need to establish business continuity and disaster recovery plans and ensure that IT strategies and activities are aligned with broader business goals. Not to mention, as an IT manager, you also need to keep up with the constant technological changes in the IT world.
Low-code in IT management
So in a world where you are constantly being asked to innovate while also having to solve IT problems at the assembly line, low-code can be your new superpower. Low-code offers the opportunity to develop and accelerate competencies regardless of technical background.
Imagine your team’s ability to respond quickly to change, making your organization more agile. Best of all, it gives you as an IT manager the opportunity to create a way of working where continuous innovation is fostered and tasks are completed on time. This allows your team to focus more on strategic tasks instead of spending time on repetitive tasks.
