Creatio Shares Results from its Global Annual Survey that Explores the State of the Low-code/No-code Market

Creatio has released its highly anticipated and first-ever IT, digital, and business leader survey report titled: “The State of Low-code/No-code 2021.” The report provides senior level decision makers at companies of all sizes a look into how various organizations around the world are facing the digital transformation pressures of today, where exactly they are on that journey, and the role of low-code/no-code as an innovation catalyst. 

The global survey includes responses from 1,000+ IT, digital and business leaders from various industries and more than 90 countries spanning the Americas, EMEA and APAC. The respondents have either adopted or are considering adopting low-code/no-code technologies as part of their digital transformation roadmap. Creatio’s research showed overwhelming support between the success of digital transformation and adoption of low- code/no-code technology. The State of Low-code/No-code Report distills Creatio’s survey results into actionable takeaways for IT and business leaders making strategic and tactical decisions about low-code/no-code technology to drive competitive advantage. 

KEY FINDINGS FROM THE REPORT INCLUDE: 

• Business leaders line up on the promise of low-code/no-code as an enabler of digital transformation, but a lack of experience with low-code platforms is the biggest obstacle to low-code adoption, according to 60% of respondents. 

• The key benefit to low-code adoption is accelerated time-to-market (38%) followed by reduced app development cost (34%) indicating that innovation is prioritized over cost reduction when it comes to driving competitive advantage. 

• Low-code tools are currently being adopted primarily for custom app development inside separate business units such as sales and marketing, service, human resources, or finance. 

• Despite COVID-19 and the global pandemic, 95% of respondents pushed forward with their digital transformation initiatives.
