Here\u2019s one of the many predictions for 2022: Digital transformation driven by the shift to hybrid and remote work will continue to accelerate. <\/p>\n
COVID-19 served as a wake-up call for companies dragging their feet on digitization. Organizations of all sizes were forced to accelerate their adoption of digital platforms in order to remain operationally efficient. <\/p>\n
As we transition from pandemic-triggered transformation to the next wave of digitization, some exciting developments are anticipated in two areas of technology that will enable operational agility: no-code platforms<\/a> and hyperautomation.<\/p>\n Typically, hybrid work<\/a> involves working from the comfort of home and working at the office. Because of the rise of hybrid work, \u201cwork\u201d is no longer location-centric but experience-centric. This represents a fundamental shift in how organizations approach the workplace in the existing scenario.<\/p>\n As per Gartner<\/a>, the reliance on remote development during the pandemic will continue to expedite no-code\/low-code adoption.<\/p>\n Creating an engaging experience in people\u2019s work processes is critical for efficiency, retention, and employee satisfaction. No-code development will be essential in this experience-driven era of work. Employees\u2019 natural desire for low-friction experiences will encourage more of them to create and use no-code apps that will simplify and streamline their work lives. <\/p>\n It will free up highly skilled engineers and focus on innovation programs with greater strategic significance. This will create a pool of IT specialists who can take up high-value projects instead of building basic workflow applications. Using no-code platforms, employees can be creative with technology and develop their own custom applications. This can help CEOs in establishing a workforce that can think on its feet and deliver independently, and as a result, sparking a culture of innovation across the organization.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not surprising that no-code automation has become an essential part of the CIO agenda. No-code platforms put process innovation tools in the hands of those who are closest to the problems \u2013 the business users. As a result, productivity has increased, and digital transformation accelerated. <\/p>\n In 2022, the use of these tools will increase and become more structured. As more businesses recognize the value of no-code development, they will establish formalized citizen developer programs that provide their employees with tools to experiment and deliver value. Citizen development<\/a> requires coverage on strategic, tactical, and operational levels in order to support enterprise innovation. It is essential to create fusion teams and clearly demarcated roles and responsibilities of not just citizen developers but also technical people.<\/p>\n To oversee whether the strategic goals are being met, there should be a citizen development champion in the team who can influence or give directions to both citizen developers and IT teams. Someone from the top leadership (CEO or CIO) is suitable for this role. He or she can also work as an icebreaker between business users and IT personnel if the situation demands it. <\/p>\n Simultaneously, we\u2019ll see IT leaders implement no-code development safeguards, such as platform-level security and access controls. As a result, no-code apps will combine enterprise-level scalability with enterprise-level security and compliance. <\/p>\n While many organizations are still testing the waters with process automation, visionary companies are getting well-versed with the new reality called \u201chyperautomation.\u201d <\/p>\nThe Rise of Hybrid Work will drive No-Code Adoption<\/h2>\n
Organizations will increase investments in formal citizen development programs<\/h2>\n
Hyperautomation will make further inroads into the mainstream<\/h2>\n
