Independent Study: 84% of Firms with Highest Enterprise Requirements Use Low-code Development and See Return-on-Investment
April 02 2019 - 9:00AM
Appian (NASDAQ: APPN), a leading low-code application development
platform provider, today announced the availability of a new
commissioned research study conducted by Forrester Consulting on
behalf of Appian that explores how enterprises build and run their
top-priority applications on low-code platforms. Forrester found
that large enterprises are acutely-challenged in transforming
themselves into digital businesses due to constraints in their
ability to develop software applications. As a result, firms with
the highest enterprise requirements are turning to low-code
development platforms that accelerate development, reduce IT
resource strain, and improve collaboration across business lines.
Forrester Principal Analyst John Rymer will join Appian as a
guest speaker for a webinar to explore the research findings and
the enterprise impact of low-code platforms like Appian in depth.
Register for the April 25 1:00pm ET webinar here.
Forrester conducted an online survey of 254 IT and
line-of-business decision makers in the US, the UK, Canada, and
Australia to evaluate expectations for and experiences with
low-code development platforms for enterprise-scale
applications.
Key Findings
- Low-code accelerates development meeting enterprise
need for speed. 84% percent of enterprises have adopted a
low-code development platform or tool. These firms are improving
existing IT capabilities, innovating products and services, and
becoming more agile — all of which power a greater
speed-to-market.
- Low-code platforms can meet the highest enterprise
requirements. Firms with the lowest tolerance for downtime
and data loss, as well as the strongest requirements for continuous
auditing and independent security certification, are the most
likely to run top applications on low-code. Their endorsement of
low-code proves that enterprise-ready low-code solutions are
already available in the market.
- Enterprises will turn to low-code to build complex
business logic. While many firms use custom code to build
applications for complex business logic today, they’re eager to
build on the success that low- code development has brought to
other parts of the business. In the future, enterprises will likely
deploy low-code, rather than custom code, to run these
business-critical applications.
The research confirms that low-code has the power to overcome
the toughest barriers to successful digital transformation. In
fact, the survey showed that 100% of low-code enterprises have
received ROI from their low-code adoption.
The study also outlines six enterprise requirements companies
should consider when evaluating a low-code platform. According to
the report, “By identifying low-code platforms with features that
address the six enterprise requirements, firms can not only build
and deliver critical applications faster and at scale, but also
gain a deeper understanding of the business results of their
digital transformation overall.”
“Low-code platforms are not all the same,” says Malcolm Ross, VP
of Product Marketing at Appian. “Not only do we address the six
enterprise requirements laid out by Forrester but we pride
ourselves on the high business impact our applications deliver.
This is all backed by the Appian Guarantee, which promises creation
and deployment of an enterprise-grade application in just eight
weeks.”
The study provides an in-depth look at the following areas: why
digital transformation requires a new approach to application
development, what makes a development platform enterprise-ready,
how low-code powers enterprise digital transformation and key
recommendations. Download the full thought leadership paper and
