Today, digital transformation is how you stay in the game.And yet, in conversations with peers, clients, and teams, one challenge keeps surfacing: “We have the ideas, but we can’t move fast enough.”Traditional development cycles often get bogged down by limited IT bandwidth, shifting priorities, or budget bottlenecks. I’ve seen it happen more times than I can count.
That’s exactly why I believe Low-Code/No-Code (LCNC) is becoming a strategic lever for businesses to bridge the gap between vision and execution.
From Idea to App—Faster Than Ever Before
LCNC platforms are empowering a whole new generation of builders. From developers to business users, even those with no technical background, people are now solving real business problems through intuitive, visual tools.
According to Gartner, by 2026, 80% of technology products and services will be built by people outside of IT.

At Path Infotech, I’ve seen firsthand how business users once dependent on long IT queues are now building prototypes, automating workflows, and launching apps in days, not months. Now that’s a seismic shift!
Where It’s Making a Real Difference
Here are a few scenarios where LCNC is really driving change:
- Automating manual processes – Approvals, reports, workflows—all simplified without heavy development.
- Modernizing legacy systems – Without replacing them entirely, LCNC helps us build modern experiences on top of older infrastructure.
- Driving agile experimentation – Want to test a new process? Build it. Test it. Iterate. All within days.
- Reducing cost and resource dependency – Smaller dev teams can achieve more, and business users feel empowered.
In fact, Forrester reports that LCNC development can be up to 10x faster than traditional methods. That speed is critical in today’s landscape.
Who Stands to Gain the Most from LCNC?
The rise of Low-Code/No-Code platforms is redefining how entire functions and industries operate. Whether you’re in operations, marketing, or customer service, LCNC is unlocking new potential.
Here are a few roles and industries where LCNC is already creating a tangible impact:
- Business Analysts & Operations Teams They’re designing workflows and building tools they once requested from IT for faster automation of reports, approvals, and dashboards.
- Manufacturing & Supply Chain Teams are building custom apps to track inventory, maintenance requests, or order flows, improving visibility and reducing downtime.
- Customer Support LCNC helps support teams create ticketing dashboards, feedback forms, or knowledge bases tailored to their processes.
- Healthcare, Education, and Public Sector With tight budgets and a need for agility, these sectors are using LCNC to digitize forms, automate scheduling, and connect siloed systems.
But It’s Not One-Size-Fits-All
Let me be clear, LCNC brings significant value, but it’s not without its limitations.
It doesn’t replace traditional development, especially for complex, enterprise-level systems. And without governance, it can lead to shadow IT chaos.
But when you approach it with the right strategy, structure, and alignment, LCNC becomes a game-changer.
My final thoughts
I truly believe we’re entering a new era, where the power to build, improve, and solve problems doesn’t just sit with IT. It belongs to everyone.
If you’re a CIO, product head, or business leader wondering how to move faster without compromising quality, this is the conversation we need to be having.
Let’s connect, collaborate, and share ideas.
