---- The following is the original ----

Regardless of  AI、 Process automation （RPA） Or application development , recently , There is a trend of low coding in many technologies . As technology advances , Low code applications have gradually become  AI  Platform 「 Standard technology 」.

In recent days, , Market research institute  Gartner  Cai Huifen, vice president of research, shared with us about the recent Chinese market  AI  Insight into technology application trends . For low code development platforms , After going deep into the scene, there will be a lack of flexibility , Building products 「 Differentiation 」 It is crucial to support different forms of developers .

China's enterprise low code application platform has been in the stage of rapid development recently , In addition to domestic players , Some international competitors have also gradually landed in the domestic market . at present , This market has been very fragmented .

Domestic local technology providers are good at providing customized technology to help enterprise customers . Compared with global competitors , The main advantages of domestic start-ups are relatively complete product projects and successful practical application cases .

These successful cases are attracting the attention of other companies  IT  department 、 Professional developers carry out intelligent transformation practice for their own applications .

At present , Most of the domestic service providers have put forward the policy for non computer professionals 「 Low code application platform 」. This situation meets the needs of many local customers . but  Gartner  Think ,

Technology providers still need to develop deeper tools , Support professional developers to build 「 Customized application 」

.

「 So-called 『 There is no code 、 Zero code 』, Is to make specific applications very in-depth , This also means a lack of flexibility . When pursuing product differentiation , We should try our best to support the needs of different developers .」 Cai Huifen said .

Gartner  Also suggest

Service providers implement a more localized strategy , And cultivate ecosystem through common business value to expand product competitiveness .

Gartner  The current low code enterprise services are divided into four types ：

• Low code platform application manufacturers ,
  Support professional and non professional developers , On behalf of the company there are  Mendix、OutSystems  etc. .

• Zero code manufacturer ,
  stay  Gartner  go by the name of  citizen development  platform , Focus on non professional developers , The representative of the company is  FanRuan Software、
  Mingdao
  、Huobanyun  etc. .

• Application vendor ,
  Existing  CRM、ERP  Continue to expand capabilities on the basis of other solutions , Such as  Salesforce, Kingdee 、 UFIDA, etc .

• Cloud platform vendors ,
  Like Ali 、 tencent 、 Baidu 、 HUAWEI, etc. . Among them, Alibaba and Tencent are aimed at existing platforms , Help enterprises develop application tools through zero code . Baidu 、 Huawei 、 Microsoft is more for professional developers to provide automatically generated applications .

「 When we understand the trend of market competition , We must know the uniqueness of China . ad locum , Local applications and ecosystems are very fragmented , only  CRM  There are more than  40  Above home .

Domestic customers pay great attention to multi cloud and  On-Premises  Support for . Many large enterprises are unwilling to use the public cloud directly , It is hoped that the deployment can be completed through self construction . Due to domestic  IT  maturity , As a result, the types and needs of customers are also very diverse .

Because of the special nature of the market , We can see that different types of business suppliers will cooperate with each other ,」 Cai Huifen said .

at present , From the breadth of products 、 depth 、 In terms of completeness , Domestic low code products are not yet in the mature stage . Therefore, the analysis organization is still unable to evaluate the profit effect of changing the business , But according to the original core business of the business supplier , The new technology provides a more complete , Applicable products for core business , It means ： The business model of technology suppliers is changing .

「 Domestic users are receiving more and more  SaaS  Solution , The ability to build applications directly in the cloud , Pay directly by . On the other end , Specially provide 『 Low code 』 Service providers of application platforms , We are also developing complete solutions for some vertical industries and application scenarios , So that customers can directly apply .」 Cai Huifen said .

Gartner  Suggest

The technology provided by software service providers can be targeted at developers of various professional levels , To support more customers and businesses .

Besides , Due to different customers' requirements, business processes can be quickly applied in industry scenarios , Universal platform manufacturers also need to strengthen their professional capabilities in specific business scenarios . Due to the application of many third-party enterprises in China , Third party integration platforms and service providers need to be strengthened  API  Practice .

At present , Some companies in traditional industries have different degrees of digitization , The popularity of low code products still needs to strengthen cooperation with external partners to establish an ecological environment .

Cai Huifen said ：「 A lot of times , We need to cut into some important scenarios and industry categories , Accumulate through time , Achieve success stories , Then gradually expand to relevant cases .」
