Business models are dramatically shifting. The way we work has been flipped upside down. There’s the ever-present need to drive new revenue and meet shareholder expectations. We all need to transform the way we do business. We also need multiexperience platforms and apps that redefine how we engage our audiences. And we need to be able automate essential and fundamental business processes and functions. We need our teams to innovate, iterate, and drive the business forward.

Recent upheavals and disruptions have also shown us how digital transformation and empowering more teams to create, collaborate and automate — and spin up fast and simple but also powerful solutions — is key to business continuity as well as adaptation and growth. Low-code platforms empower both business users and professional developers to build powerful and timely solutions that accelerate the speed of innovation in the age of digital transformation. No matter who at the organization is solving problems, all six of these key tenants guide our why and how we develop our product strategy and why we are investing deeply in low code to help you succeed:

With HCL Volt MX, you can engage your users in new ways with virtual reality, augmented reality, and voice chat, and add your choice of virtual elements, artificial intelligence, and natural language-processing engines with ease.

Accelerate Digital Transformation

Unleash innovation — employees can determine their own digital futures. Automating key business-critical processes, whether it’s payroll, e-commerce, workflows, transactions with customers or partners (or anything in between), gives you the tools to let higher-powered IT resources and management focus on digital transformation, the needs of the business, and the future, rather than on the day to day.

Deliver Business-Critical Solutions

Gives you the power to create solutions that powers critical business processes and customer experiences. Just because low code makes it simple to build solutions, it doesn’t mean that it can’t handle complex or business-critical functions.

Get Started Fast

Get Started Fast

Low-code application development allows developers and non-coders the ability to create solutions by using simple visual interfaces. Since you draw forms, workflows and integrate systems visually, development time is shrunk from weeks to days, from days to hours. You can solve problems and deliver solutions up to 10x faster.

Automate Legacy Processes

Automate Legacy Processes

For many solutions to be effective, the role of the low-code platform is to digitize an existing manual process, or re-engineer an existing digital process to make it more efficient.

Unlock Enterprise Systems

Unlock Enterprise Systems

Embedded in every low-code platform are rich integration layers. These can unlock data and processes without large, complex, and costly development efforts. This means connecting with enterprise systems such as SAP, or your HR system in the cloud, or data in an Oracle or Db2 database.

Low code leads to better solutions. It’s easier to start, easier to evolve, and faster to get right.

The Benefits of Adopting Low Code in Your Digital Transformation are Clear

Many more people within an organization can build solutions, enabling stakeholders to self-serve without IT assistance. This unleashes employee innovation – they can bootstrap their own internal digital projects. In turn, this significantly boost corporate agility and generates large savings in the cost of developing applications as well as reducing the risk of project not getting done or not getting done right. Low code leads to better solutions. It’s easier to start, easier to evolve, and faster to get right.
