Low-code, no-code (LCNC) development platforms are turning the traditional view of software programming on its head. Instead of requiring coding specialists and months or years of lag time, LCNC tools offer drag-and-drop interfaces and guardrails to enforce security and service management policies. The result: state and local government can speed software development, relieve the workloads of trained programmers and reduce manual internal processes. This brief discusses how to successfully incorporate LCNC platforms into government operations by developing a clear understanding of potential LCNC use cases and partnering with an LCNC vendor with expertise and transformation services.
