Independent Study: 84% of Firms with Highest Enterprise
Requirements Use Low-code Development and See
Return-on-Investment
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
