About

Is Low-Code offering the  panacea to all software development challenges?  Low-Code claims to enable coding on a small scale with lower budgets, in a fast and flexible way, in co-creation mode between business and IT. Introducing low code would allow keeping the core systems clean by developing custom interfaces and functionalities apart, thus bringing in the agility and the room for innovation the organisation is looking for. It would dramatically reduce the complexity of software development, speed up the process of building applications and help your IT team to better respond to fast evolving business or user needs.

Gert will elaborate on the role of low code development within the bank’s IT-strategy in which core banking systems (even on mainframe) have to interact with fastly evolving applications for the use of the agencies or even (mobile) end user applications.
