Current and future app creation is and will be driven by low-code/no-code development platforms (LCDP). Organizations moving forward with low-code development are doing so because they have investigated and understood the benefits. The list of benefits is substantial, from agility to lower development costs to decreased time to market to increased sales and market share. How does a company choose which LCDP for future app development?
If a company is seeking a new ERP application, they first create a Request for Proposal, sometimes called a Request for Quote. The RFP is filled with information about application content requirements followed by questions focusing on the supplier and the features offered by their unique applications. The questions center on how the provider's solution matches the customer’s requirements; about the proposed new application's cost plus the support and modification costs; the functions and unique features the solution will provide; it asks about the user interface along with whether the new application will allow for the integration of legacy programming code and data; the buyer wants to know what technologies are used and tons more. I have yet to see an RFP for the selection of a LCDP provider.
