ode! from being 'a secretive synapse of a high-
Cvalue prospect to a dense syntax,' evolved into an
era of software-mediated business solutions. As
known worldwide, technology has played a vital role in
easing out human effort, and the world of coding has
successfully scaled itself to top the leader board.
Knowing these marvels, technology leaders have scoured
the globe by introducing software programs that support
business workflows and strengthen the customer-centric
approach in the cutthroat competitive market.
But, ever imagined the hardships encountered by a software
developer, tester, coder, or system administrator?
As one nose dips inside the life of a software developer, one
will step into repetitive code, variables, comments,
language overload, complicated coding timeline, manual
testing, syntax error, cumbersome tasks, lengthy codes, and
many more.
The list goes on if one investigates critically. This poses a
huge impact on software development and workflow
productivity and the gallons of expenditure consumed in the
context of time.
Nurturing Code,
Bolstering Coders!

Solving the age-old misery of the coding community is
Low-code/No-code Platforms!
This novel platform facilitates a visual software
development environment while assisting coders,
developers, testers, administrators, and consultants to drag
and drop application components, connect them together
and create mobile and web apps with a hassle-free
experience. This comforts a developer in software or system
developments and eradicates the tedious task of writing the
code script line by line.
Today, a software developer
need not necessarily
understand the programming
language and the intricacies
involved in software
development. With Low-
code/No-code Platforms, one
can utilize the graphical user
interface, marry components, and
third-party application interfaces while the
application builder rearranges and tests modules that meet
the developer requirements.
With these developments, the repetitive tasks are done and
dusted.
Focusing on enterprise productivity, organizations can
invest more time in conceptual development, providing the
developers and coders with new challenges to hop on.
These technological advancements have assisted enterprises
with productivity timescale and changed the way coders

Low-code platforms are gaining prominence each
day with the advancement in digitization. Gartner
predicts that by 2024, these low code platforms will
account for 65 percent of all application development.
Developers and enterprises are switching to low-code
development platforms for a variety of reasons.
These platforms have significant advantages over traditional
development tools and allow for the rapid production of
rich, enterprise-grade programs. With the increasing
demand for digital solutions, low-code platforms are
gaining traction like never before. The benefits they provide
result in significant cost reductions and assist businesses in
sticking to their budgets.
It is amazing that how low-code development tools can
serve a variety of business domains. Because low-code
platforms are still evolving, there’s a significant chance
you’ll see them improve in the future, offering many
additional advantages over standard development platforms.
Hence, the race of advancement has already started, and
many companies are leading the way with their innovations.
ClickPaaS is one of the prominent names in that list which
offers updated services around the entire life cycle of
application design, development, deployment, and
maintenance.
In the following interview, Cypress Hu, the Founder of
ClickPaaS shares valuable insights into the company’s
journey since inception, the current industry scenario, and
his vision on the future of the company.
Please brief our audience about ClickPaaS, its values,
and how it is positioned as a leading player in the
software development space.
ClickPaaS is a low-code application platform provider
based on domain model designer and is committed to
helping more and more middle and large-sized enterprise
customers, consulting firms, SaaS enterprises build critical
applications and complex core systems in a faster,
easier-to-be-iterated, and lower-cost way.
ClickPaaS empowers partners to rapidly design vertical
industry solutions and to meet business digital demands.
Meanwhile, ClickPaaS built collaboration with United
Nations Industrial Development Organization (Shanghai)
and offered them a commonweal project.
ClickPaaS adopted domain model-driven technology in the
product that is composed of the domain model, data model,
UI/UX, flow management, integration model, business
intelligence, and instance management. In 2021, ClickPaaS
has received a Series B Plus funding led by Sequoia Capital
and co-invested by BAI, SIG, Future Capital, and 5Y
Capital. Also, more than 20 industry prizes were obtained in
last year.
What other solutions does your company offer, and how
are these making an impact on the industry and your
clients?
ClickPaaS has various tier1 clients and offered solutions
and services primarily to public sector, international
logistics, construction, banking, manufacturing, and energy
industries.
Take a customer from the banking industry as an example,
ClickPaaS and our partner PWC developed a risk
management and control system—an internal clients rating
management system—to connect with internal banking
systems, set rating standards, and reduce financing risk.
This system consists mainly of customer master data
management, transaction record management, customer
rating management, rule management, etc., which meets
customized requirements as well as the regulation from the
government and helps realize digital transformation for
banking customers.
Cross-border logistics is also one of our focused industries.
We build an enterprise MSDI digital marketing platform for
our customer and help them establish customer-centered
marketing organizational structure and process, enhance the
collaborative work of all departments, carry out detailed
management of the sales process, realize orderly tracking
and monitoring, and provide a complete set of inquiry and
quotation system.
Share your opinion on how modern technologies have
transformed the low code development solutions niche,
and what more could be expected in the near future?
Microservice, container, cloud-native, and open-source
technology have made low code development solutions
more stable, flexible, agile, and super automatic. And cloud
computing technology has entered the mature stage
providing a solid basic foundation for LCAP development.
Since 5G technology has been deployed in the world, a
large number of new IOT application scenarios will be
blooming. More cutting-edge technology, like AI,
multi-experience, hyper-automation, and data fabric, is
going to be combined with low-code technology as a new
generation composable platform so that low-code
development solutions could offer a better user experience
and realize more complicated scenarios.
As some reports showed, more and more enterprises will
adopt LCAP for their digital transformation in the future
because of its convenience and low cost.
Considering the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on
global economies, what were the challenges that
knocked at your company’s doors and how did you
pivot from those challenges?
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic changed a lot of things
and many enterprises shut down because of that. As an IT
start-up, ClickPaaS gained more opportunities rather than
challenges, though employees have to work from home for
a period. By switching to online work model, ClickPaaS
team built a global pandemic management system for a
state-owned enterprise with worldwide coverage within one
week helping control the virus infection risk successfully.
By the end of 2021, the system has covered 47 country
offices, 64 overseas projects, and 18,000 staffs. In addition,
ClickPaaS offered an enterprise operation management
system for a Shanghai municipal governmental to have an
economic eagle-eye of those large enterprises registered in
Shanghai. Then the government is able to proactively
provide corresponding supporting solutions and help for
those companies in trouble based on the information
collected in the system. So basically, ClickPaaS opened up
more markets during 2020.
What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs
aspiring to venture into the low code development
solutions space?
In my opinion, low code development technology is a very
hot topic right now. Since Forrester proposed the concept of
low-code and no-code in 2014, many companies have
entered this niche market. Salesforce, Microsoft, Oracle,
SAP, Mendix, etc. have gained huge success in the global
market, and ClickPaaS also grasped the opportunity starting
from China market.
Although some authoritative reports pointed demands of
purchasing low-code application platforms will
dramatically increase, this market is becoming more
competitive. In the future, low-code technology is probably
integrated with other emerging technologies.
So, I would suggest if entrepreneurs would like to venture
into this space, they should consider their differentiation
compared to other vendors and consider how they can
utilize emerging technology to improve current low-code
productivity. What’s more, remember to be brave, be
responsible, and not be afraid of failure once you decide to
do that!
How do you envision scaling ClickPaaS’ operations and
offerings in 2022 and beyond?
From the perspective of industry, we will keep focusing on
our targeted vertical industries, provide more professional
industrial solutions and components for our customers, and
improve the ecosystem with our partners.
We have established a new cooperation with some
companies in the 2021 ClickPaaS ecological conference we
call it ClickDream Conference to enable partner to build
dreams, and we welcome more and more organizations to
join our ecosystem in the future.
We are considering a few emerging technologies to make
breakthroughs, enhance user experience, and satisfy more
customer requirements. In 2021, we made an important
improvement in the underlying technology and published a
platform called Grid Pro which could deal with million
transaction rows with zero latency. A data flow automation
platform was published as well. Next year, a professional
design platform with a new UI/UX called Designer Pro is in
the plan, which enables designers to customize the system
interface.From the perspective of marketing, we aim to
build a complete branding system to raise brand awareness
and image globally. Besides the domestic market, we also
plan to enter overseas markets. Although the
competitiveness is intense, there are still lots of global
demands.

Top 10 Low-Code/No-Code Development Pla orms
The Fastest Enterprise Digital Transforma on
Solu ons Provider
To overcome these turbulent times, enterprises must
go live, as fast as possible. Though, earlier, it was
easier said than done. For too long, it seemed that
nothing could be done to transform the customer experience
and employee experience around customer data collection.
That was the trend until came EasySend, founded by the
three financial and tech industry veterans, who experienced
first-hand, the adverse effects of clunky paperwork-based
processes and decided to do something about it. That is how
EasySend was born – a no-code development platform, for
building and optimizing digital customer journeys in
insurance, banking, and financial services.
The company is led by a young thought leader, Mr Tal
Daskal, CEO and Co-Founder. In an interview with
Insights Success, for its ‘Top 10 Low-Code/No-Code’
edition, Mr Daskal shared with us his amazing insights
about the future of no-code digital transformation in
general, and about how EasySend is temerging as a leader,
in particular. Highlights of the interview are given below
for your delight.
Please brief our audience about EasySend, its values,
and how it is positioned as a leading player in the
software development space.
EasySend is a no-code customer experience platform for
building and optimizing digital customer journeys.
EasySend helps enterprises go digital by converting paper,
PDFs, and manual processes into fully-branded customer
journeys for any use case. With the platform, users can
design, build, and launch digital customer processes in
days, and continually optimize with advanced analytics.
The EasySend platform improves the customer experience,
cuts operational costs, and drives revenue growth.
If you could make your five-year digital transformation
plans, only take three months, what would happen?
Your entire business is changed. You can stay ahead of your
competition, innovate, create remarkable customer
experiences, and harness the power of technology to grow
exponentially and generate new revenue streams by
serving customers in new ways.
This is the power of EasySend's no-coding digital
platform. EasySend's impact goes far beyond boosting
customer experience and cost-saving; it changes the entire
business by allowing organizations to leapfrog into the
future.
Elaborate more on the solutions and services that
EasySend offers, and how are these making an impact
on the industry and your clients?

The no-code digital journey market is
primed for explosive growth. EasySend
is best positioned to become the clear
leader in this emerging space.

As far as the impact is concerned, we raised over $71.5M in
just two years in our series A funding. When you look at
other no-code digital journey platforms out there, available
tools are an inverse reflection of high-code environments:
they either allow customization but at the cost of slow,
expensive, complex implementation (still requiring heavy
IT support), or are simple to implement but solve only one
part of the digital journey, lack flexibility and are difficult to
integrate with other systems.
We have instinctively stumbled upon an unfilled gap in the
market. We stand out with a different take on what's
possible: we offer self-service, end-to-end digital journey
capabilities (from the front-end to the back-end), a simple
way to integrate with any platform, tools, or apps, as well as
sophisticated data management tools in a simple to use
platform, creating a holistic, but user-friendly offering.
The need for flexible, lightweight solutions that business
users can own has never been greater. EasySend is a full,
agile, and low-friction solution, fitting right in the gap
between the "functional, but difficult to implement" and
"simple, but limited" tools at the other end of the spectrum.
Please brief us about the featured person(s) journey in
the industry, and how they have contributed towards
the company's success.
I handle all the operations at EasySend. I have a first-hand
expertise in all aspects related to digital transformation in
insurance and banking. I also passionately advocate for the
paradigm shift towards no-code application development in
the financial sector. During the initial stages of my career
while working at one of the largest insurance companies in
Israel, I noticed the extent of the problem that paperwork
and manual processes create in insurance. To combat this,
along with my Co-Founders, Omer Shirazi and Eran
Shirazi, I incepted EasySend in 2016.
COVID-19 led to a massive shift in the way people interact
with businesses online. EasySend helps enterprises
accelerate their five-year digital transformation plans in
just three months, making it simple for them to offer
exceptional online customer experiences.
Share your opinion on how modern technologies have
transformed the low code development solutions niche,
and what more could be expected in the near future?
The digital journeys market is at a tipping point. Every
department—marketing, sales, service and support, HR, and
call centers —is experiencing exponential growth in the
number of digital customer-facing touchpoints.
At the same time, companies can no longer afford to wait
for months on end, before seeing their digital experience
projects come to life, as is the case with code-driven IT
projects.
But launching digital journeys is only one piece of the
puzzle: maintenance is equally (if not more) challenging,
especially in the age of fast-moving digital interactions. The
sheer amount of digital journeys is quickly snowballing into
an unmanageable mess: enterprises today spend a ridiculous
amount of time and resources on maintaining and updating
digital front-ends.
Analytics is the third essential component. It is not enough
to simply launch digital experiences anymore; businesses
should be able to measure their pulse, identify points of
friction and act accordingly. Only by understanding the
end-to-end customer journeys can you boost revenues,
reduce costs, and make the experience better for everyone
using it.
That is where the emerging no-code digital journey
platforms come into play.
The idea is simple: give nontechnical users tools to create
customer-facing digital journeys via Drag & Drop interface
rather than code, allowing organizations to bring
sophisticated digital experiences to life 100x times faster.
We are talking about shortening the time to market from 6-
12 months to only 3 weeks.
No-code platforms allow businesses to launch, update and
monitor their digital touchpoints easily, without having to
dedicate efforts and resources to coding, maintaining, and
analyzing hundreds (or thousands) of digital journeys.
Considering the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on
global economies, what were the challenges faced by
EasySend and how did you pivot from those challenges?
During the COVID19 pandemic, digital capabilities
suddenly became the number one priority. Forward-looking
insurers, who have already invested into developing state-
of-the-art digital customer experiences, are in a relatively
good position.
But what should the less digitally mature organizations do?
According to our research, an average US insurer still
| February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com
18
maintains 91 PDF forms on their website. The so-called
"digital experiences" for many insurance companies amount
to the clunky PDFs, that the customers are required to
download from the insurer's website, fill it in, scan it and
then send it back via email.
As back-office employees are working from home, the
servicing of clunky and manual processes in a timely
manner becomes high but impossible.
Unless you are using a no-code platform.
The time-to-value we could demonstrate is so short that the
expansion we have been seeing was faster than expected.
One of our biggest success stories is the customer who was
able to turn around a 5-year project in just 3 months.
What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs
aspiring to venture into the low code development
solutions space?
The need for flexible, lightweight solutions that business
users can own has never been greater.
The next couple of years are shaping up to be a game-
changer for building customer-facing digital experiences.
Today, only 5% use no-code. In 5 years, this number is
predicted to hover over 65%.
As more companies are looking to deploy no-code
platforms to transform the customer experience, there is a
huge potential to grow. As a result, I expect a wave of
funding in this space over the next few years.
One of the lessons learned during this year of accelerated
growth was that focus is key. Going forward, we will
continue to focus on our vision for no-code digital journeys.
How do you envision scaling your company's operations
and offerings in 2022 and beyond?
On November 16, 2021, EasySend announced a $50.5
million Series B funding round led by Oak HC/FT. Existing
investors Vertex IL, Intel Capital, and Hanaco Venture also
participated in the round. The company also secured $5
million in venture debt from Silicon Valley Bank.
The announcement follows a year of accelerated growth --
the company expanded its US revenues by ten-fold. As it
supported digital transformation for leading insurance,
banks, and credit unions such as Cincinnati Insurance, NJM
Insurance Group, PSCU, Sompo, and Petplan. The funding

Modern-day technologies like Machine Learning
(ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Low Code or
No Code (LCNC), Cloud Computing, etc., are
rapidly making their marks in various sectors. These
technologies are redefining the way work and process flow
happen in modern businesses.
Nonetheless, in many cases, these technologies are used
separately to achieve automation in numerous
organizations. Due to this, enterprises have to adopt
different packaged automation tools from different
technology vendors. But what if you could use all these
technologies in one place and, by merging them, achieve
hyperautomation?
EvoluteIQ's e.IQ platform has all the advanced
technologies available to use on a single platform to
achieve your organization's hyperautomation goals. It is an
integrated platform that offers combined capabilities of
low-code or no-code, iBPMS, AI, ML, Analytics, IoT, RPA
Integration, OCR, Blockchain, and data processing.
EvoluteIQ's objective is to be the enablement platform of
choice for all hyperautomation programs worldwide. The
company intends to execute this through the simplicity of
e.IQ technology, which can be used by regular non-
technical citizen users.
In the following interview with Insights Success,
EvoluteIQ's Sameet Gupte (CEO and Co-founder) talked
about the company and its new-age technology solutions
that are redefining organizational automation processes.
Please brief our audience about your company, its
values, and how it is positioned as a leading player in the
software development space.
EvoluteIQ is a Nordea and Confidus Venture Capital backed
technology company headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden,
with a presence in the UK, US, and India serving enterprise
customers across the globe. At the cutting edge of
technology, we aim to simplify end-to-end automation and
accelerate its adoption across the enterprise with our
hyperautomation enablement platform - e.IQ.
Unlike other platforms whose solutions are limited to
specific facets of automation at steep costs, our unified
platform allows enterprises to build automated business
applications in a scalable and cost-effective manner. We
want to make end-to-end business transformation through
hyperautomation affordable with faster delivery and break
the barrier of it being a premium solution.
At the core of our organization, we believe in transparency
and growth as a larger ecosystem and want to enable citizen
developers, business technologists, and specialists to
collaborate effectively in driving digital transformation
initiatives.

Elaborate more on the solutions and services that your
company offers and how are these making an impact on
the industry and your clients?
Our core offering is the e.IQ Hyperautomation Enablement
Platform, which combines the capabilities of process
orchestration, data and event processing, AI/ML, enterprise
connectors, and front-end application development to build
seamless user journeys using a simple, low-code, or no-
code interface. Effectively, we provide a single
hyperautomation enablement suite with integrated
capabilities, all at the price of a few RPA bots.
Our enterprise customers and partners are building
transformative solutions across industries like banking,
insurance, and healthcare and across domains such as
finance and accounting, supply chain, and sales and
marketing. These are mission-critical applications and the
e.IQ platform provides a secure and scalable foundational
layer.
Share your opinion on how modern technologies have
transformed the low code development solutions niche
and what more could be expected in the near future?
Everyone knows that low-code development has established
itself as a frontrunner in the software industry, especially
since the pandemic. Enterprises and organizations have
begun the shift towards low code applications to build
applications faster, stay relevant, have a competitive edge
while continuing to digitally transform their business to
sustain in this evolving space.
The LCAP or low-code application platforms trend is only
expected to grow further in 2022. In fact, Gartner estimates
that "by 2024, low-code application development will be
responsible for more than 70% of application development
activity".
I feel that low code and hyperautomation have proven
themselves as a credible and realistic way for organizations
to develop new digital solutions much faster and stay a step
ahead of their competitors without drowning out in
complexities. As this market slowly converts to an
enterprise automation market, the need of the hour will
soon be and is already an end-to-end hyperautomation
platform. And that is what we solve with the e.IQ platform.
Our platform is the only low-code or no-code platform that
has capabilities of frontend development, data processing,
cognitive capabilities, and enterprise connectors – all in the
same consistent drag and drop interface.
Considering the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on
global economies, what were the challenges faced by
your company, and how did you pivot from those
challenges?
The pandemic hit us at a point when we had not even
completed a year in operation. It was sudden and
unexpected, as most crises are. After the first couple of
months where we adopted the lockdowns and remote
working, we were able to win multi-year subscriptions with

Making well-informed and timely business
decisions is one of the most important factors
for attaining profits. Businesses have become
dependent on the data that is generated by their customers.
Because of the rapidly changing data landscape,
organizations must also keep up with it and adapt to the
current market dynamics in order to stay ahead.
Business decisions need to be frequently updated based on
the present market situation. This is dependent on the data
that is processed by each department, process flows, and
analysis. Automation in businesses has made decision-
making easier.
The benefits of introducing automation into the decision-
making process are numerous. It helps businesses make
efficient and timely use of data while remaining a customer-
centric organization. FlexRule is the next-generation end-

Elaborate more on the solutions and services that your
company offers, and how are these making an impact on
the industry and your clients.
FlexRule provides the full-scale platform for end-to-end
decision management and automation - FlexRule™
Advanced Decision Management Suite. It is a powerful,
unified platform architected for organizations to make
optimized, customer-centric, and situation-aware decisions
by orchestrating, automating, and managing business
decisions using business rules, processes, data, analytics,
and robotics.

With our end-to-end decision management and automation
platform, organizations can offer customized financial
products, insurance policies, or health regimens and make
quality decisions for product configuration, credit approval,
patient diagnosis, and many other applications.
Share your opinion on how modern technologies have
transformed the low code development solutions niche,
and what more could be expected in the near future?
Modern technologies made the low-code paradigm a
practical approach to building many types of Line of
Business (LOB) applications; for internal and external-
facing applications.
As technology becomes more accessible and there is a new
entrant to the low-code app development market every day,
the required investment in building the LOB applications is
reduced significantly today. However, the generic purpose
low-code app builder that can address LOB applications
will not address many typical enterprise challenges,
particularly in regulated environments.
However, as we see in today's disrupted business
landscape, building the apps, whether hard or easy, low-
code or pro-code, will not take away the day-to-day
decision-making activity from the staff, operations, and
domain experts. Consistency and accuracy of operational
decisions are more concerning and degrading because of
supply-chain challenges, staffing, etc.
Therefore, I do anticipate that decision automation tools
with a low-code approach will soon become a necessity
rather than a good-to-have priority for any organization
dealing with any change, either regulatory requirements or
market dynamic in a comparative landscape.
Considering the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on
global economies, what were the challenges faced by
your company, and how did you pivot from those
challenges?
For us, it slowed things down a bit and warranted
transforming the usual way of working. The business-as-
usual approach would not have worked perfectly as we
liked, especially in day-to-day operations and team
collaboration.
We improved our day-to-day operations with streamlined
processes and productive systems that cater to customers
and the internal team. We embraced reality and continue to
deal with it (weaknesses, problems, and mistakes).
We improved team collaboration and full visibility of the
planned projects as per the set goals and priorities,
empowering the team with collaboration tools to deliver
value.

nterprises have been in the midst of a digital
Etransformation process in recent years. The
COVID-19 pandemic dramatically increased the
demand for the complete digitization of business.
Companies nowadays are required to add various
applications and features to their underlying systems
continually to digitally enhance their operations and
customer service.
As we all know, conventional software development
requires time, planning, and understanding of major
programming languages. For this reason, developers have
to start everything from scratch in order to create software
or new upgrades. In addition, complex codes keep citizen
developers from participating in the software development
process.
Considering the various limitations of the traditional
software development process, the IT industry has come up
with a disruptive way of developing enterprise software or
app solutions. It is known as Low-code or No-code
Platforms (LCNC) development.
How Do Low-code/No-code Platforms Work?
Going by the definition, the Low-code concept is a self-
describing one. That is to create a software or app solution
with minimal coding addition. The technology industry has
compressed complex programming lines into methods or
objects that can be easily called by simply typing their
names when coding.
Like Low-code, No-code is also self-explanatory. It's a
further extension of the low-code concept. The only factor
is that one can just drag and drop ready-to-compile tools on
to the screen to create software applications.
The Low-code and No-code (LCNC) services are provided
over the cloud-based platforms. That makes the IT industry
a more democratized one where citizen developers with
little or no understanding of coding can participate in the
software/application-development process.
With the dynamic nature of business and the ability of
LCNC technology, companies are rapidly modernizing
themselves in order to have an edge in the consumer
market.
Below are the reasons why low-code or no-code platforms
are becoming the most disruptive trend of 2022.
Digitization Wave
The COVID-19 pandemic fueled the digitization waves
within organizations to the next level. During that time,
businesses had to provide a work-from-home option for
their employees. That led to the need to have various cloud-
based technologies for companies to carry on their
operations. The cloud-based LCNC platforms proved to be
simple and speedy solutions for companies to get their
business going.

33
Several industry studies suggest that the future of
technology development will be majorly concentrated on
availing the LCNC platform-based services for software
development. According to a research survey by Gartner,
"By 2024, low-code application development will be
responsible for more than 65% of application development
activity.”
Services for Reliable Cloud Integration
As businesses are progressing rapidly in their digital
voyage, they will need to add different and new technology
features into their software. With cloud computing-based
LCNC services, companies can integrate as many software
features as they would like in one place to collectively work
on them.
The technology solutions created on these LCNC platforms
can easily be integrated with the existing databases and
processes of the company. One can migrate them
completely to the cloud when needed.
Also, the process of importing and exporting large data files
is easier and can be done in a few steps. Moreover, with an
internet connection, companies can have secure access to
their software anytime and anywhere, 24x7.
Enhanced Interactivity
Low-code or no-code technology has facilitated companies
to have one central system where multiple software or
application services can be seamlessly integrated. Due to
this, the data flow between the internal departments is
processed and proceeded within a matter of seconds after it
is entered. This enables company executives to look into the
status reports on each lead, opportunity, and client with a
few clicks.
Empowering Citizen Developers
Using low-code or no-code platforms, non-IT professionals
can also start building software systems of their choice. Due
to their familiarity with work and business challenges, they
can instantly start creating a software or application
solution that suits their requirements.
In addition, those with coding and development knowledge
can enhance the abilities of the LCNC software solutions to
make them more valuable. They can also spend more time
strategizing to make the apps more suitable for the
organization's business objective.
Boosting Automation Processes
The automation drive within organizations is at an all-time
high. Credit goes to advanced technologies like Artificial
Intelligence, Machine Learning, Cloud Computing, and
many more.
The LCNC platforms provide the opportunity for
companies to have access to as much of the latest
technology as possible for their client businesses. They
enable them to be more secure, dynamic, and visual. Client
companies can integrate these modern technologies within
their LCNC software or app solution to enhance their
business operations.
Wrapping Up
The capabilities of low-code and no-code platforms are
giving businesses across all sectors a much-needed digital
breakthrough. The digitization wave which got further
acceleration due to COVID, is a sign that we are in the era
of Industrial Revolution 4.0.
For the years 2020 and 2021, it was about discovering and
adapting to these LCNC platforms. Now that the trend is
getting wider recognition from corporate teams, the year
2022 will see a further rise in its acceptance from
worldwide businesses. Overall, the LCNC trend is here to
stay and is enabling companies' digitization processes, a
smooth ride.

with Low Code
Digital transformation has gone to the next level
when computers and smartphone devices are
playing vital role in human life. Daily
organizational workflow got digitized at a fast pace. With
this advancements into the business world, the need of
digital application was rising but the number of developers
were not available to do that work. So, the platforms are
made to create the applications where a company person
can abstract and customized with automated steps as per the
requirements. This made organizations to do their daily
work very efficient and less time consuming.
Newgen Software is Low Code Automation Platform that
is globally recognized to create business applications that
manages process, content, and communication with the
customers of their clients. Not everyone knows how to code
that is why this platform makes it simple for the
organizations. They have IT professionals and developers
available in their team who constantly upgrading the
platform to make it more friendly, even for the person who
does not know how coding works.
Recently we took an interview of Anurag Shah, Head of
Product and Solutions at Newgen Software to know more
about the organization and his participation in it.
Read the following conversation:
Please brief our audience about Newgen Software, its
values, and how it is positioned as a leading player in the
software development space.
Newgen Software is a result of the vision of Mr. Diwakar
Nigam, our Chairman and Managing Director. He wanted to
build a world-class software product company. And today,
Newgen is a leader in contextual content services, low code
intelligent process automation, and omnichannel customer

communication technologies - transforming the way
enterprises service their customers, enable their employees,
and collaborate with their partners. We have combined all
three platforms to offer the most comprehensive and
complete digital transformation platform for enterprises –
NewgenONE.
NewgenONE is a result of 30 years of passion and
entrepreneurship, especially in document management and
process automation, keeping customer success as the
topmost priority. It is a unique offering that started with
humble beginnings in India to establish itself as a leading
platform for Fortune 2000 enterprises globally. Its natively

ecosystem spans across more than 350 partners worldwide,
including leading consulting companies (likes of Deloitte,
PWC, and EY), global system integrators (likes of Infosys,
TCS, and Wipro), and value-added resellers.
Elaborate more on the solutions and services that
Newgen Software offers, and how are these making an
impact on the industry and your clients?
Enterprises need to manage their processes, content, and
communications – as they develop business applications –
solving for end-to-end customer journeys. Some of these
business applications are simple, ad hoc, and with limited
customer interactions. While there are other business
applications that are mission-critical, complex, content-
driven, and involve sophisticated, omnichannel customer
interactions. Our cloud based NewgenONE Digital
Transformation Platform with low code capability is for
automating the latter set of business needs. The platform
"unlocks simple" in business operations, making it easier
for all stakeholders to participate, utilize information, make
decisions, and service its customers (internal and external).
The platform has been consistently recognized by leading
industry analysts for its low code, content management, and
customer communication capabilities. NewgenONE
empowers professional IT developers with speed and
agility. It allows enterprises to develop and deploy
customer-facing applications with a consistent user
experience across multiple channels. Furthermore, it
facilitates seamless integration with various back end and
third-party systems and applications.
Anurag, tell us about your journey in the industry, and
how you have contributed towards Newgen Software's
success.
I joined Newgen right after post-graduation in 1999, and
my journey started in the product management group
(PMG), working on workflow and document management-
based solutions for banks and financial services customers.
As part of PMG, I was intrinsically involved in the
development of the first version of Newgen's low code
product iBPS (erstwhile BPM - OmniFlow) and managed
the initial few implementations of Newgen BPM and ECM
products for BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) and
insurance customers for their mission-critical enterprise-
wide use cases.
Starting early 2000, I started taking a more extensive and
leading role in delivery and helped implement Newgen
products, especially BPM & ECM, in the banking, financial
services, and insurance verticals. Towards the end of the
decade, I was heading delivery for the US, Caribbean, and
West India.
From 2010 onwards, I was entrusted to lead the products
and solutions division to expand Newgen's footprint and
grow business in North America, South/Central America,
including the Caribbean, LATAM, and Brazil. I helped set
up the products and solutions practice intertwined with
delivery methodologies in Newgen US. Soon, the results
started pouring in with a couple of back-to-back
breakthroughs in the US community banking and credit
union segment.
Towards the end of the last decade, Newgen strategized
GSI (Global System Integrator) partnership-led sales
motion in the US, and I led the initiative. Today I head the
products and solutions division and GSI relations for
Americas and continue to be an active contributor in
product development. I also actively collaborate with
marketing for analyst engagements and more.
Top 10 Low-Code/No-code Development Pla orms
Share your opinion on how modern technologies have
transformed the low code development solutions niche,
and what more could be expected in the near future?
Several leading-edge technologies are being stitched into
the low code development suite. However, true digital
transformation is achieved only when these modern
technologies are used in the context of the business,
keeping customers and employees in mind. Here is a classic
example of how a low code platform is being
complemented by new-age technologies to deliver a
seamless customer experience:
Consider a home equity loan solution that is built on a low
code platform. It includes content services, NLP, AI/ML
Cognit, and RPA. And then, it integrates with several
internal and external systems to collate the information and
unify it before presenting it to knowledge workers. These
systems include bureaus for credit report, agencies for
appraisal reports, core banking for customer information, to
name a few. All these technologies work in tandem to
deliver a seamless customer experience.
Considering the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on
global economies, what were the challenges faced by
Newgen Software's doors, and how did you pivot from
those challenges?
Like any other business, we too had to respond to the
unprecedented situation quickly. We implemented business
continuity measures and extended our development network
via VPN connectivity, enabling our employees to work
remotely. This helped us maintain our operational
resilience. And we also offered our solutions on the cloud,
which made deployment possible within hours and in line
with the regulatory requirements of every geography.
Having mentioned the challenges, the pandemic also
presented tremendous opportunities for us as it accelerated
the need for digital transformation across industries
globally.
We were able to anticipate the business and the market
changes, and we quickly responded by shifting our
employees and customers to a remote working
environment. There was no business disruption, and the
quality of our services remained top-notch. Our
NewgenONE platform was a great enabler in ensuring that
our customers were able to transition to the new normal of a
digital working environment without any hiccups.
What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs
aspiring to venture into the low code development
solutions space?
There are two aspects of low code solutions—citizen
developer and professional developer-based solutions.
While citizen developers utilize low code for departmental
and simple to medium complex information processes,
professional developers combine several tools and
technologies to deliver mission-critical and complex
business automation solutions.
For low code enthusiasts, I urge them to look at it from the
perspective of revitalizing the business case for content and
collaborative services, as your business imperatives change
in today's uncertain times.
Keep the business case fresh as priorities continue to
change and the maturity level of low code platforms keep
rising.
Align the business case to the top corporate priorities to
help obviate failure Get executive support – it leads to
sponsorship Show quick wins Set performance metrics
aligned with the corporate priorities you identified, and
decide how to recognize the desired outcomes Address
change management and user adoption issue iteratively. It is
not a one-time project Gather and use data and feedback to
plan for continuous improvement.
How do you envision scaling Newgen Software's
operations and offerings in 2022 and beyond?
NewgenONE, our low code-based digital transformation
platform, continues to enable enterprises globally with rapid
and agile development and deployment of complex
business applications. The platform will continue to inherit
current and future enhancements of its underlying platforms
for content services, process automation, and customer
engagement. In 2022 we will focus on improving the
developer experience, strengthening functionality with
AI/ML and RPA, enhancing the deployment and application
governance experience, improving integration between
Newgen's products and third-party systems, and building a
consistent, new-age UI/UX across all products. To make
our solutions future-proof, we will continue to further
enhance our solutions with new-age technologies like AI,
ML, process analytics, intelligent content services,
contextual automation of business processes, mobility, and
digital sensing.

one are the days when creating complex apps
required employing multiple developers, spending
huge capital, and then waiting for days. With the
introduction of low-code or no-code platforms, building
applications has become simplified and quicker.
What's more easier and quicker is OneBlink's Low-code
app development Suite (LcS) that enables business users
to create sophisticated applications to support their business
processes without the need for the IT department to get
involved.
OneBlink has been developing mobile apps in Australia for
15 years and has earned the trust of businesses as well as
several state and local government regulatory agencies. It
caters to many industry segments, including Transport &
Logistics, Local/State Government, Construction,
Education, Financial Services, Utilities and Healthcare.
We at Insights Success caught up with Alan Williams, the
CTO, and Darren Besgrove, the CEO of OneBlink, to
learn more about the company and its top-notch offerings.
Below are the highlights of the interview:
Please brief our audience about OneBlink its values, and
how it is positioned as a leading player in the software
development space.
OneBlink is a 15-year veteran of the Australian mobile app
development sector and now enjoys a trusted position
among enterprises and many state and local government
regulatory entities. OneBlink originally began life as
BlinkMobile and evolved from intelligent SMS solutions to
providing rapid mobile development tools for SI's,
developers, and IT teams.
The company changed its name to OneBlink 5 years ago
following the evolution of its powerful no/low-code
offering and is now regarded as the leading Australian
owned and operated No/Low-code Development Platform.
Elaborate more on the solutions and services that your
company offers and how are these making an impact on
the industry and your clients?
The OneBlink Low-code Suite (or LCS) increases the
velocity of an organization's digital transformation and
allows them to respond more quickly and reliably to
changing social, health, or legislative demands on their
business processes. OneBlink's low-code platform is unique
in its capability to equally serve the needs of citizen
developers, in-house IT teams, and external SI's, removing
the need for these groups to duplicate or port work to other
toolsets.
Gartner estimates that by 2025, 75% of organizations will
run at least four low-code tools for IT app and citizen
development. The impact that OneBlink is making is that
our customers can reduce or completely remove their need
for other low-code toolsets. The OneBlink combination of
no-code, low-code, and pro-code capabilities in the one
product reduces our customers' subscription costs, the time
and expense of new product evaluations and procurement,
plus reduces their support and training overheads. It also
means different levels of users within organizations can
more effectively collaborate on projects - as business users
can build their V1 solutions and pass them within the same
platform to internal or external IT teams to further enhance
them into mission-critical solutions.
Share your opinion on how modern technologies have
transformed the low code development solutions niche
and what more could be expected soon?
There are many aspects to the no/low-code sector. Some
tools and vendors focus on supporting the needs of
professional developers, while others look more exclusively
at business-level users or citizen developers. OneBlink is
somewhat unique in that we effectively support the differing
needs of both sets of users.
The other distinction is those low-code vendors that act
purely as 'pass through' solutions, i.e., their technology is
designed to interface into existing (often legacy) systems of
record, versus those that provide for data storage as
retrieval, so they can be used to build complete stand-alone
solutions.
LcS (Low-code Suite) empowers an
organisations' business users to
conduct their own development via
No/Low-code Tools, while also
providing services that increase the
productivity of IT Teams as
they undertake custom development.

Soon we are seeing the requirement to incorporate AI –
both to further speed up the low-code development
experience but also within apps and workflows themselves
to supersede some of what is done currently with
conditional logic and data/regular expression verifications.
Considering the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on
global economies, what were the challenges faced by
your company and how did you pivot from those
challenges?
OneBlink has survived the COVID-19 pandemic relatively
unscathed. Yes, there were problems in terms of rent being
paid on office premises that we couldn't use during
lockdowns. But our development teams were well versed in
working from home as we encouraged this flexibility many
years ago.
We did find it hard to secure new customers during this
period as many were distracted by the disruptions of the
pandemic, but again as a SaaS vendor, our existing
customers dramatically expanded their use of our software
in new and interesting ways, increasing their usage and
their average spend. The pivot now is more about adapting
to a new way of hybrid working that suits our people and
customers.
What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs
aspiring to venture into the low code development
solutions space?
While some predicted a few years back that the sector
would experience significant consolidation, the number of
new players continues to grow. If you were to venture into
the space now, my advice would be like entering any other
software sector, understand what you're good at, identify
the pain points that people are willing to pay to address, and
find your niche.
How do you envision scaling your company's operations
and offerings in 2022 and beyond?
A key aspect of our strategy to continue scaling is our
recent strategy to partner with other ISVs who don't have
their low code capability and stand to be marginalized as
rd
their customers look to other 3 party vendors to provide
this capability.
Under our low-code ISV Partner/White Label program,
these ISVs can offer their customers a mature and robust
platform under their brand at a fraction of the time and cost
it would take to develop themselves (assuming they even
had the capability). Further, we ensure their White Label
version of our software runs in its dedicated cloud
infrastructure, and we take on the engineering effort to
ensure that their product version is unique, with dedicated
connectors into their products and meaningful
customizations in line with their customer needs.
This model is already operating with a North American ISV
and another global SaaS vendor, and we expect to expand
this service to more partners over the next few years.

one of the unique platforms that will enable both full-stack
application development and mobile application develop-
ment with no-code.
Elaborate more on the solutions and services that your
company offers and how they impact the industry and
your clients.
As a Global ISV to principal ERP vendors like Microsoft
and Acumatica, we have built standard mobile solutions
integrated to MS D365 BC and Acumatica, respectively,
that can be bought off the shelf and deployed right into the
customer instance.
The standard mobile applications to different verticals and
user personas are like below:
a. Field Sales (MS D365 BC)

e. Warehouse App (MS D365 BC)
f. Delivery App (MS D365 BC)
g. Merchandising App (MS D365 BC)
Share your opinion on how modern technologies have
transformed the low-code development solutions niche
and what more could be expected in the near future.
“The Future of Coding is No Coding” – The CEO of Github
had rightly mentioned this growing trend when enterprise
application development is leaning favourably at Low-
code/No-code (LCNC) application development strategy.
To support this Gartner® has predicted that more than 65%
of enterprise application development by 2023 will be on
LCNC development platforms.
Mobile app development trends for 2022 have constantly
updated from the optimum usage of Artificial Intelligence
(AI), Wearable Devices, Augmented Reality (AR), and on-
demand apps to designate teams and develop productive
mobile application solutions.
Considering the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on
global economies, what were the challenges faced by
your company, and how did you pivot from those
challenges?
In retrospect, the pandemic has created an urgency for
companies to adopt digital transformation with a ‘mobile-
first’ strategy.
Using the No-code mobile application development
platforms enhances the ability of the developer to build
design-thinking mobile apps that enhance the user experi-
ence to a large extent, unlike the Mobile ERP Apps
provided by major ERP vendors, which end up dumping the
entire ERP screens onto a mobile device and confusing the
user, who would rather prefer to see a mobile screen
pertaining to his operations based on his persona.
The mobile application with the offline capabilities
developed with eMOBIQ® for our customers allows the
required data to be downloaded onto the mobile device
when there is internet connectivity and allows the user to

Now Everyone Can Build Apps
continue to work in an offline mode by referring to all the
data records on the mobile device. Once the Internet
connectivity is restored, the data with all the attachments
and reports is synced back to the backend seamlessly.
In summary, we have used the pandemic as an opportunity
spinner and have ridden the wave with more mobile
projects for us and the development partners.
What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs
aspiring to venture into the low code development
solutions space?
As a budding entrepreneur, this is the most opportune
moment to use the current trends and growing demands
based on the following advantages:
a. Work Lean – Use existing resources to develop cross-
platform mobile applications
b. Low Learning Curves – Rather than having two different
specialized programming skillsets (Android and iOS) to
develop applications, with a low learning curve
developing Enterprise Mobile Applications will enable
the entrepreneur to build faster and go to market faster.
c. Save Costs on Infra and Maintenance – With the
platform offered as a cloud-based SAAS model, costs
any upgrades on the device operating system (OS) is free
for a lifetime.
How do you envision scaling your company’s operations
and offerings in 2022 and beyond?
With the growing needs of enterprise applications
development leaning heavily towards the LCNC application
development strategy, we are gearing up to scale up the
platform capability as a development accelerator both as a
Full Stack Developer Tool with No-code and with the
existing Mobile Application Developer Tooling capability
with No Code.
Since a major bulk of software application development
requirements are in the North American region, we are now
focusing on enabling distributorships in North America and
Europe to leverage the capability of churning out simple-to-
complex enterprise business mobile applications using a
No-code Development platform.
Along with the professional services and solutions that
Orangekloud offers to the partners, we are hoping to
increase our brand to North American and European
markets in 2022. Plans are also underway to build a bigger
team based out of the USA in 2022, based on the growing

The
Emergence of
Low-code/No-code
Technology
These days, technology seamlessly merges with
every sector of the business world. This integration
enables companies to simplify their work
operations and speedily serve their customers. With time,
business requirements upgrade; technology too and have to
level up with the scale.
Today, businesses need to have their own Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) software, various applications,
websites, and much more. This means that the necessity for
technology upgrades has become proportionate to the
dynamic market demands that businesses have to provide.
Shortcomings of the Conventional Technology
Development Process
For technology to match up with the space of market
demands, it has to have the ability to speedily create the
solutions. However, going by the traditional coding method,
achieving a fast technological product is next to impossible.
Due to the complexities that are involved in planning and
coding the technology solution, it may take months to
develop a technology product.
Furthermore, even if the developers keep writing lengthy
code to build new tech products, their capabilities are
centered on hovering over the process repeatedly. This
usually results in their exhaustion. In addition, the time lost
cannot be recovered. It is imperative that developers use
their skills to strategize rather than repeat the same
processes every time.
Additionally, one has to be efficient in one or many
programming languages to start developing technology.
Because of this, the average citizen or enthusiast cannot
actively participate in the software or app-making process
unless they are well versed in programming/coding.
The Low-code/No-code Solution
It is known that technology can be a solution to numerous
business problems. As it turns out, it can be a solution to its
own challenges too. Big and small tech companies globally
have found a way to compress the programming process
significantly. The solutions that these companies establish
need less coding knowledge or no coding knowledge at all
for one to begin developing. The platforms that provide
such solutions are known as Low Code or No Code
(LCNC) platforms.
As the tech experts put it, "the Low-code No-code is a
visual and hassle-free approach to software development.
Basically, it creates enterprise-level applications using
visuals and basic skills without proficient programming
knowledge or skills."
The LCNC platforms allow business software or
application development in such a way that one does not
have to follow all the conventional software development
methodologies. Using these modern software development
platforms, one can start creating the technological solution
within a matter of minutes. Also, the software can be
deployed in the shortest time window.

51
Moreover, the LCNC platforms are quickly becoming a
booming trend in technology and business enterprises. As
reported by the research of the KPMG platform, low-code
is the future of application development and automation.
They can easily integrate with the company's existing
information system to allow businesses to create
sophisticated enterprise-class applications by incorporating
complex business logic.
Below are a few but major benefits of the LCNC technology.
Offering Rapid Technology Solutions
Businesses are becoming stronger each day with the help of
technology. So much so that it is now nearly impossible to
imagine a company without technology at its core. But, it is
also true that businesses need to be dynamic these days
based on market sentiments.
In such a scenario, they need to keep innovating new ways
to improve the existing system and simultaneously come up
with new solutions. The LCNC platforms efficiently fulfil
this requirement as they assist businesses by speedily
developing technology. This can be done much faster and
more effortlessly than conventional software development
methods.
An Effective Solution for Automation
A whole lot of organizations worldwide are looking to
introduce automation in their business operations. This will
allow them the opportunity to automate repetitive tasks
efficiently.
With the help of LCNC solutions, companies can build a
whole range of software or other technological features that
can add different repetitive tasks within their purposes. The
speed offered by the LCNC technology can enable an
enterprise to get as many solutions deployed for the
automation process as they would require.
A Cost-effective Solution
Nowadays, the competition within businesses has risen
extensively. Be it a small or big organization, one has to
ensure that it is delivering the best possible products and
services to its customers. For big businesses, it is easier to
rely on the resources available to build technology solutions
that best suit their needs to fulfill internal and external
demands.
However, for smaller businesses or new startups, time and
money are important resources that cannot be afforded to be
lost. The LCNC technology platforms provide a great deal
of assistance for such organizations. With just a small
budget allocation, they can employ the services of LCNC
platforms and start developing with little or no assistance
needed.
Participation of Citizen Developers
Building software or apps using LCNC technology
platforms has become much easier. Any educated person
with little or no coding knowledge can start developing the
software they need. The technological concepts on these
platforms are made as easy as possible for anyone to grasp.
A person can start the development process by dragging and
dropping the needed buttons, processes, flowcharts, and
many other options to design a business solution.
In addition to this, software developers can spend more
time planning and strategizing in order to develop the best
possible solutions using low-code technology.
The Concluding Words
All things considered, one can say that LCNC is becoming
the next emerging technology trend in the business world.
The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered many businesses to
digitize their businesses rapidly. To accomplish this
objective, instead of relying on lengthy conventional
software development and deployment processes,
businesses are finding LCNC platforms to be the easiest and
most cost-effective solution. Furthermore, it has also given
software developers more time to spend on software
planning processes to come up with the best possible
technology solutions.

Nearly every organization in today's time is
constantly facing the requirement to upgrade its
operations based on dynamic market demands and
feedback. Most of these operations are performed using
software applications. The traditional approach of building
apps based on market requirements takes too much time, as
well as it is difficult to make them more agile when the
market changes.
This issue can affect the profit numbers of the organization
and also its ability to face the competition more effectively.
Low-code or no-code cloud-based platforms are making
their marks in the IT industry due to their efficiency in
rapidly adapting to clients' requirements.
Pillir is a low-code or no-code, cloud-based platform that
enables companies to build customized apps 20 times faster
than traditional methods. It leverages the power of SAP's
digital core from any device, with or without connectivity.
It enables organizations at any stage of their SAP journeys
to innovate quickly and easily, with little-to-no
programming requirements, rapidly moving custom
development to the edge.
We interviewed Pillir's and
CEO Founder – Vaidya Aiyer,
to get detailed insights about the platform's usefulness for
organizations to become more efficient.
Below are the excerpts from the interview:
Please brief our audience about your company, its
values, and how it is positioned as a leading player in the
software development space.
Pillir offers a suite of applications based on its-award
winning low-code platform that allows companies to
operate better, to conduct business more efficiently, and to
respond faster to market needs by modernizing the software
applications that their employees use to conduct business,
making those applications accessible through the cloud
and/or via mobile devices.
We offer a way for enterprises, especially larger
organizations who use ERP (enterprise resource planning)
software, to quickly manage their operations and supply
chains. These include functions such as warehouse
management, inventory management, procurement, and
asset management.
This is most valuable for asset-intensive companies that
maintain large warehouses and store and transport inventory
or supplies. That includes companies in industries such as
manufacturing, retail, logistics, automotive, energy, utilities,
mining, and oil and gas.
We particularly work with companies that maintain SAP
environments. On top of the out-of-the-box, tailor-made
applications, we provide our customers with a low-code
platform that enables them to build any business function
they need. We enable companies to 'software-ize' their
unique, competitive business processes in hours or days,
with little-to-no development and maintenance effort. This
is opposed to companies having to adapt their unique
processes to conform to out-of-the-box software
applications from existing ERP solutions, which could
cause them to lose their competitive edge.
The new software-based processes increase efficiency and
give these companies immediate visibility into their unique
operations. Our vision and the value we provide is to allow
companies to modernize their supply chains more quickly,
more easily, with less risk, and for less cost. This way they
can focus on more efficient operations and respond faster to
market needs, allowing them to focus on their core
business.

Elaborate more on the solutions and services that your
company offers, and how are these making an impact on
the industry and your clients?
In the current market, these larger enterprise environments
are facing rising costs in their supply chain and a shortage
of IT talent, yet they are looking to modernize and increase
efficiency. Their legacy IT environments address their
unique and differentiated business processes but are often
overly complex.
They have also typically been updated, patched, and
customized over many years, making it difficult for
companies to then convert them to cloud-based versions.
Once moved to the cloud, companies are able to have
greater mobility, and visibility of their data and processes,
especially regarding various supply chain functions like
inventory, logistics, and warehousing.
Pillir provides supply chain solutions built on a cloud-
native low-code/no-code platform. Enterprises can quickly
deploy those pre-built applications and integrate them into
their existing ERP/IT applications environment, as well as
tweak them quickly to accommodate the company's unique
business processes, all without having to write a single line
of code using our low-code/no-code platform. In addition,
we provide a unique capability to automatically transform
their legacy ERP/SAP customizations into cloud-native
applications on our no-code platform.
This enables these companies to retain their unique, custom
business processes and leverage the IP from legacy
applications instead of dumping them and either restarting
or, worse, losing their competitive edge by standardizing
their unique processes. This has also increased efficiency by
allowing them to use any device (desktop, tablet, mobile
phone, or hardened handheld devices) anywhere regardless
of the status of connectivity in their locations, as well as
utilize new and improved processes and mechanisms
(adding scanners, images, or new locations, etc. to their
systems).
Customers gain different business benefits from these new
processes. For instance, we have a customer that alleviates
certain safety hazards in industrial settings, where workers
previously had to physically transport data through busy
warehouses. With their new, modernized applications,
employees no longer have to walk through areas where
heavy equipment such as forklifts are in use in order to
check inventory data.
Operators in the warehouse can now scan, view, and change
that information from their forklifts without having to get
down and walk through the aisles. That not only decreases
safety risks but improves productivity. Another customer
reduced the amount of manual labor involved in materials
management by 30%. Yet another reduced data entry for
field teams by more than 95%. And a fourth client
shortened payroll processing from three days utilizing five
people to two hours utilizing only a single person.
Please brief us about your journey in the industry, and
how you have contributed towards the company's
success.
In terms of my personal journey, I have been devoted
specifically to the custom development of business
applications in SAP environments for a very long time. I
began programming in the early '90s, specializing in
integrations back when that area was first emerging. But my
industry focus was always manufacturing and supply
chains.
Custom development at that time was–and still is today–a
very tedious process, especially when it comes to ERP. It is
expensive and requires many people, who are often hard to
find. I developed Pillir to solve such problems, to expedite
innovation in the world of ERP through the use of a low-
code platform. When we solved the problem for ourselves,
we realized that many other companies were having the
same issues, and we knew we could address that for other
enterprises.
We, therefore, became a start-up in the rapid application
development market, so we could help organizations build
new applications and innovate their business applications
more quickly and easily using less personnel. That is what
we bring to the table. We reduce the complexity of
innovation in ERP environments.
Share your opinion on how modern technologies have
transformed the low code development solutions niche
and what more could be expected in the near future?
Low-code or rapid application development has been with
us a very long time, although we may not realize it. I can
argue that Microsoft Excel is among the early, successful
pioneers of low code. Technology has come a long way to
automate much of what programmers do in traditional
application development.
Elements like cloud, mobility, big data, machine learning,
and various open-source initiatives have helped drive the
automation of application development towards low-code
and no-code platforms. Low-code and no-code now
encompass complex enterprise application development;
integrations to multiple enterprise applications; and even

the transformation of legacy applications into modern, no-
code-based applications.
Low-code/no-code is now making a generational leap
forward with what we call "transform-code." For example,
no matter how easy low-code/no-code may be, large
enterprises have tons of legacy applications, making it near
impossible to document all that tribal knowledge. Those
complex legacy applications need to be redeveloped using a
low-code/no-code platform.
A "transform-code"-based platform takes LC/NC one step
further. It decompiles and understands the ins and outs of
legacy applications and transforms them into new, modern
applications through advanced automation, accelerating
modernization.
These powerful platforms will help deliver modern
capabilities on various form factors such as the web, kiosks,
mobile, ruggedized devices, and more, so workers have all
the data and market intelligence of their unique business
right in their pockets.
Considering the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on
global economies, what were the challenges faced by
your company's doors, and how did you pivot from
those challenges?
There has been a developer shortage in the market for many
years now. Once the pandemic hit, a labor shortage set in
across-the-board. Companies do not have the people
available to deliver modernized business processes, putting
a dent in digital transformation.
Pillir has stepped in to provide pre-built solutions that
address different business needs like inventory and
warehouse management, including different suites and
application packages that are customized to each business'
unique needs.
What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs
aspiring to venture into the low code development
solutions space?
Low-code/no-code is to application development what
cloud is to infrastructure. A few years ago, businesses had
to procure and maintain infrastructure in order to conduct
business. Cloud turned that upside-down. Dependence on
infrastructure personnel is gone. Employees simply log in
with a cloud provider and provision the infrastructure they
need in minutes. Similarly, LC/NC platforms are
democratizing and removing the dependency on expensive
application programmers.
Businesses will always have a need for custom business
processes. But soon, just like what happened with cloud
infrastructures, developers will be able to log into their
favorite LC/NC platform, pick a business process,
customize it to their unique needs, integrate it with other
applications in their corporate IT fabric, and deploy within
hours or days.
That also means when the time comes to change or tweak
that business application (e.g., an unforeseen event like the
pandemic), these companies will be able to change their
processes and streamline their operations to address market
conditions faster than ever. My advice to budding
entrepreneurs is to take advantage and ride this wave sooner
rather than later.
How do you envision scaling your company's operations
and offerings in 2022 and beyond?
Pillir has one of the most advanced low-code/no-code
platforms in the industry, especially for ERP-based and
asset-heavy industries. We are taking it a step further by
launching applications on our award-winning low-code/no-
code platform to streamline and modernize supply chains
globally.
This year and beyond, we will launch hundreds of
applications that enable companies to leverage their
competitive, unique business processes by simply picking
these applications and integrating/customizing to their
unique needs without writing a single line of code.
We are starting with the launch of a new suite of
applications for goods movement across sites and
warehouses. This suite will have 16 individuals but
integrated, pre-built applications that address the full range
of functions involved in goods movement in a warehouse
setting, including inventory and warehouse management
tasks.
This makes it easier for customers who are struggling with
the time requirements of innovation or just have a shortage
of talent to learn and implement low-code platforms. We
will be expanding with new suites and products going
forward to address a more comprehensive range of business
tasks that enterprises must undertake in ERP
environments.

  • 12. Low-code platforms are gaining prominence each day with the advancement in digitization. Gartner predicts that by 2024, these low code platforms will account for 65 percent of all application development. Developers and enterprises are switching to low-code development platforms for a variety of reasons. These platforms have significant advantages over traditional development tools and allow for the rapid production of rich, enterprise-grade programs. With the increasing demand for digital solutions, low-code platforms are gaining traction like never before. The benefits they provide result in significant cost reductions and assist businesses in sticking to their budgets. It is amazing that how low-code development tools can serve a variety of business domains. Because low-code platforms are still evolving, there’s a significant chance you’ll see them improve in the future, offering many additional advantages over standard development platforms. Hence, the race of advancement has already started, and many companies are leading the way with their innovations. ClickPaaS is one of the prominent names in that list which offers updated services around the entire life cycle of application design, development, deployment, and maintenance. In the following interview, Cypress Hu, the Founder of ClickPaaS shares valuable insights into the company’s journey since inception, the current industry scenario, and his vision on the future of the company. Please brief our audience about ClickPaaS, its values, and how it is positioned as a leading player in the software development space. ClickPaaS is a low-code application platform provider based on domain model designer and is committed to helping more and more middle and large-sized enterprise customers, consulting firms, SaaS enterprises build critical applications and complex core systems in a faster, easier-to-be-iterated, and lower-cost way. ClickPaaS empowers partners to rapidly design vertical industry solutions and to meet business digital demands.
  • 13. Meanwhile, ClickPaaS built collaboration with United Nations Industrial Development Organization (Shanghai) and offered them a commonweal project. ClickPaaS adopted domain model-driven technology in the product that is composed of the domain model, data model, UI/UX, flow management, integration model, business intelligence, and instance management. In 2021, ClickPaaS has received a Series B Plus funding led by Sequoia Capital and co-invested by BAI, SIG, Future Capital, and 5Y Capital. Also, more than 20 industry prizes were obtained in last year. What other solutions does your company offer, and how are these making an impact on the industry and your clients? ClickPaaS has various tier1 clients and offered solutions and services primarily to public sector, international logistics, construction, banking, manufacturing, and energy industries. Take a customer from the banking industry as an example, ClickPaaS and our partner PWC developed a risk management and control system—an internal clients rating management system—to connect with internal banking systems, set rating standards, and reduce financing risk. This system consists mainly of customer master data management, transaction record management, customer rating management, rule management, etc., which meets customized requirements as well as the regulation from the government and helps realize digital transformation for banking customers. Cross-border logistics is also one of our focused industries. We build an enterprise MSDI digital marketing platform for our customer and help them establish customer-centered marketing organizational structure and process, enhance the collaborative work of all departments, carry out detailed

Share your opinion on how modern technologies have transformed the low code development solutions niche, and what more could be expected in the near future? Microservice, container, cloud-native, and open-source technology have made low code development solutions more stable, flexible, agile, and super automatic. And cloud computing technology has entered the mature stage providing a solid basic foundation for LCAP development. Since 5G technology has been deployed in the world, a large number of new IOT application scenarios will be blooming. More cutting-edge technology, like AI, multi-experience, hyper-automation, and data fabric, is going to be combined with low-code technology as a new generation composable platform so that low-code development solutions could offer a better user experience and realize more complicated scenarios. As some reports showed, more and more enterprises will adopt LCAP for their digital transformation in the future because of its convenience and low cost.
  • 15. Considering the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on global economies, what were the challenges that knocked at your company’s doors and how did you pivot from those challenges? In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic changed a lot of things and many enterprises shut down because of that. As an IT start-up, ClickPaaS gained more opportunities rather than challenges, though employees have to work from home for a period. By switching to online work model, ClickPaaS team built a global pandemic management system for a state-owned enterprise with worldwide coverage within one week helping control the virus infection risk successfully. By the end of 2021, the system has covered 47 country offices, 64 overseas projects, and 18,000 staffs. In addition, ClickPaaS offered an enterprise operation management system for a Shanghai municipal governmental to have an economic eagle-eye of those large enterprises registered in Shanghai. Then the government is able to proactively provide corresponding supporting solutions and help for those companies in trouble based on the information collected in the system. So basically, ClickPaaS opened up more markets during 2020. What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs aspiring to venture into the low code development solutions space? In my opinion, low code development technology is a very hot topic right now. Since Forrester proposed the concept of low-code and no-code in 2014, many companies have entered this niche market. Salesforce, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, Mendix, etc. have gained huge success in the global market, and ClickPaaS also grasped the opportunity starting from China market. Although some authoritative reports pointed demands of purchasing low-code application platforms will dramatically increase, this market is becoming more competitive. In the future, low-code technology is probably integrated with other emerging technologies. So, I would suggest if entrepreneurs would like to venture into this space, they should consider their differentiation compared to other vendors and consider how they can utilize emerging technology to improve current low-code productivity. What’s more, remember to be brave, be responsible, and not be afraid of failure once you decide to do that! How do you envision scaling ClickPaaS’ operations and offerings in 2022 and beyond? From the perspective of industry, we will keep focusing on our targeted vertical industries, provide more professional industrial solutions and components for our customers, and improve the ecosystem with our partners. We have established a new cooperation with some companies in the 2021 ClickPaaS ecological conference we call it ClickDream Conference to enable partner to build dreams, and we welcome more and more organizations to join our ecosystem in the future. We are considering a few emerging technologies to make breakthroughs, enhance user experience, and satisfy more customer requirements. In 2021, we made an important improvement in the underlying technology and published a platform called Grid Pro which could deal with million transaction rows with zero latency. A data flow automation platform was published as well. Next year, a professional design platform with a new UI/UX called Designer Pro is in the plan, which enables designers to customize the system interface.From the perspective of marketing, we aim to build a complete branding system to raise brand awareness and image globally. Besides the domestic market, we also plan to enter overseas markets. Although the competitiveness is intense, there are still lots of global demands. Redefining Excellence Redefining Excellence

  • 19. The Fastest Enterprise Digital Transforma on Solu ons Provider To overcome these turbulent times, enterprises must go live, as fast as possible. Though, earlier, it was easier said than done. For too long, it seemed that nothing could be done to transform the customer experience and employee experience around customer data collection. That was the trend until came EasySend, founded by the three financial and tech industry veterans, who experienced first-hand, the adverse effects of clunky paperwork-based processes and decided to do something about it. That is how EasySend was born – a no-code development platform, for building and optimizing digital customer journeys in insurance, banking, and financial services. The company is led by a young thought leader, Mr Tal Daskal, CEO and Co-Founder. In an interview with Insights Success, for its ‘Top 10 Low-Code/No-Code’ edition, Mr Daskal shared with us his amazing insights about the future of no-code digital transformation in general, and about how EasySend is temerging as a leader, in particular. Highlights of the interview are given below for your delight. Please brief our audience about EasySend, its values, and how it is positioned as a leading player in the software development space. EasySend is a no-code customer experience platform for building and optimizing digital customer journeys. EasySend helps enterprises go digital by converting paper, PDFs, and manual processes into fully-branded customer journeys for any use case. With the platform, users can design, build, and launch digital customer processes in days, and continually optimize with advanced analytics. The EasySend platform improves the customer experience, cuts operational costs, and drives revenue growth. If you could make your five-year digital transformation plans, only take three months, what would happen? Your entire business is changed. You can stay ahead of your competition, innovate, create remarkable customer experiences, and harness the power of technology to grow exponentially and generate new revenue streams by serving customers in new ways. This is the power of EasySend's no-coding digital platform. EasySend's impact goes far beyond boosting customer experience and cost-saving; it changes the entire business by allowing organizations to leapfrog into the future. Elaborate more on the solutions and services that EasySend offers, and how are these making an impact on the industry and your clients? Our services include, • No-code platform-smart tools, custom roles, custom themes • AI Builder-turn your PDF into digital consumer journeys • Integration- Automate data collection with integrations • Analytics- Optimize every step with analytics • Co-Browsing- Create that in-person experience • EasySign- Signed, sealed, delivered—online!

The no-code digital journey market is primed for explosive growth. EasySend is best positioned to become the clear leader in this emerging space. | February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com 17
  • 20. As far as the impact is concerned, we raised over $71.5M in just two years in our series A funding. When you look at other no-code digital journey platforms out there, available tools are an inverse reflection of high-code environments: they either allow customization but at the cost of slow, expensive, complex implementation (still requiring heavy IT support), or are simple to implement but solve only one part of the digital journey, lack flexibility and are difficult to integrate with other systems. We have instinctively stumbled upon an unfilled gap in the market. We stand out with a different take on what's possible: we offer self-service, end-to-end digital journey capabilities (from the front-end to the back-end), a simple way to integrate with any platform, tools, or apps, as well as sophisticated data management tools in a simple to use platform, creating a holistic, but user-friendly offering. The need for flexible, lightweight solutions that business users can own has never been greater. EasySend is a full, agile, and low-friction solution, fitting right in the gap between the "functional, but difficult to implement" and "simple, but limited" tools at the other end of the spectrum. Please brief us about the featured person(s) journey in the industry, and how they have contributed towards the company's success. I handle all the operations at EasySend. I have a first-hand expertise in all aspects related to digital transformation in insurance and banking. I also passionately advocate for the paradigm shift towards no-code application development in the financial sector. During the initial stages of my career while working at one of the largest insurance companies in Israel, I noticed the extent of the problem that paperwork and manual processes create in insurance. To combat this, along with my Co-Founders, Omer Shirazi and Eran Shirazi, I incepted EasySend in 2016. COVID-19 led to a massive shift in the way people interact with businesses online. EasySend helps enterprises accelerate their five-year digital transformation plans in just three months, making it simple for them to offer exceptional online customer experiences. Share your opinion on how modern technologies have transformed the low code development solutions niche, and what more could be expected in the near future? The digital journeys market is at a tipping point. Every department—marketing, sales, service and support, HR, and call centers —is experiencing exponential growth in the number of digital customer-facing touchpoints. At the same time, companies can no longer afford to wait for months on end, before seeing their digital experience projects come to life, as is the case with code-driven IT projects. But launching digital journeys is only one piece of the puzzle: maintenance is equally (if not more) challenging, especially in the age of fast-moving digital interactions. The sheer amount of digital journeys is quickly snowballing into an unmanageable mess: enterprises today spend a ridiculous amount of time and resources on maintaining and updating digital front-ends. Analytics is the third essential component. It is not enough to simply launch digital experiences anymore; businesses should be able to measure their pulse, identify points of friction and act accordingly. Only by understanding the end-to-end customer journeys can you boost revenues, reduce costs, and make the experience better for everyone using it. That is where the emerging no-code digital journey platforms come into play. The idea is simple: give nontechnical users tools to create customer-facing digital journeys via Drag & Drop interface rather than code, allowing organizations to bring sophisticated digital experiences to life 100x times faster. We are talking about shortening the time to market from 6- 12 months to only 3 weeks. No-code platforms allow businesses to launch, update and monitor their digital touchpoints easily, without having to dedicate efforts and resources to coding, maintaining, and analyzing hundreds (or thousands) of digital journeys. Considering the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on global economies, what were the challenges faced by EasySend and how did you pivot from those challenges? During the COVID19 pandemic, digital capabilities suddenly became the number one priority. Forward-looking insurers, who have already invested into developing state- of-the-art digital customer experiences, are in a relatively good position. But what should the less digitally mature organizations do? According to our research, an average US insurer still | February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com 18
  • 21. maintains 91 PDF forms on their website. The so-called "digital experiences" for many insurance companies amount to the clunky PDFs, that the customers are required to download from the insurer's website, fill it in, scan it and then send it back via email. As back-office employees are working from home, the servicing of clunky and manual processes in a timely manner becomes high but impossible. Unless you are using a no-code platform. The time-to-value we could demonstrate is so short that the expansion we have been seeing was faster than expected. One of our biggest success stories is the customer who was able to turn around a 5-year project in just 3 months. What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs aspiring to venture into the low code development solutions space? The need for flexible, lightweight solutions that business users can own has never been greater. The next couple of years are shaping up to be a game- changer for building customer-facing digital experiences. Today, only 5% use no-code. In 5 years, this number is predicted to hover over 65%. As more companies are looking to deploy no-code platforms to transform the customer experience, there is a huge potential to grow. As a result, I expect a wave of funding in this space over the next few years. One of the lessons learned during this year of accelerated growth was that focus is key. Going forward, we will continue to focus on our vision for no-code digital journeys. How do you envision scaling your company's operations and offerings in 2022 and beyond? On November 16, 2021, EasySend announced a $50.5 million Series B funding round led by Oak HC/FT. Existing investors Vertex IL, Intel Capital, and Hanaco Venture also participated in the round. The company also secured $5 million in venture debt from Silicon Valley Bank. The announcement follows a year of accelerated growth -- the company expanded its US revenues by ten-fold. As it supported digital transformation for leading insurance, banks, and credit unions such as Cincinnati Insurance, NJM Insurance Group, PSCU, Sompo, and Petplan. The funding Testimonials Chad Dull, Claims Director, PetPlan It was amazing. We went from verbal discussions to live with our first process in less than three weeks. It was so easy. It was so fast. It was actually the fastest partnership integration project I've ever worked on, and I've been in this industry and call center management support for about 20+ years. Florian Rohkamm, Chief Distribution Officer, Real Garant by Zurich Ever since we started working with EasySend, we have noticed an improvement in our sales onboarding process. EasySend is reliable, transparent, and completely digital, which is exactly what we need in the current times. Scott Hagberg, Application & Automation Architect, VGM Group Inc. When we went to production, we realized that we had moved past the major point. We built our processes software around PDFs and now we're building processes and then defining the PDF. We're no longer tied to the questionnaire, so we can branch out. We've got five, six, seven different enhancements going, and three months later, live in production. will accelerate EasySend's growth in the US and other geographic regions, as well as support expansion into new verticals and product use cases. | February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com 19

EvoluteIQ Modern-day technologies like Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Low Code or No Code (LCNC), Cloud Computing, etc., are rapidly making their marks in various sectors. These technologies are redefining the way work and process flow happen in modern businesses. Nonetheless, in many cases, these technologies are used separately to achieve automation in numerous organizations. Due to this, enterprises have to adopt different packaged automation tools from different technology vendors. But what if you could use all these technologies in one place and, by merging them, achieve hyperautomation? EvoluteIQ's e.IQ platform has all the advanced technologies available to use on a single platform to achieve your organization's hyperautomation goals. It is an integrated platform that offers combined capabilities of low-code or no-code, iBPMS, AI, ML, Analytics, IoT, RPA Integration, OCR, Blockchain, and data processing. EvoluteIQ's objective is to be the enablement platform of choice for all hyperautomation programs worldwide. The company intends to execute this through the simplicity of e.IQ technology, which can be used by regular non- technical citizen users. In the following interview with Insights Success, EvoluteIQ's Sameet Gupte (CEO and Co-founder) talked about the company and its new-age technology solutions that are redefining organizational automation processes. Please brief our audience about your company, its values, and how it is positioned as a leading player in the software development space. EvoluteIQ is a Nordea and Confidus Venture Capital backed technology company headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, with a presence in the UK, US, and India serving enterprise customers across the globe. At the cutting edge of technology, we aim to simplify end-to-end automation and accelerate its adoption across the enterprise with our hyperautomation enablement platform - e.IQ. Unlike other platforms whose solutions are limited to specific facets of automation at steep costs, our unified platform allows enterprises to build automated business applications in a scalable and cost-effective manner. We want to make end-to-end business transformation through hyperautomation affordable with faster delivery and break the barrier of it being a premium solution. At the core of our organization, we believe in transparency and growth as a larger ecosystem and want to enable citizen developers, business technologists, and specialists to collaborate effectively in driving digital transformation initiatives. | February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com 22

  • 26. Elaborate more on the solutions and services that your company offers and how are these making an impact on the industry and your clients? Our core offering is the e.IQ Hyperautomation Enablement Platform, which combines the capabilities of process orchestration, data and event processing, AI/ML, enterprise connectors, and front-end application development to build seamless user journeys using a simple, low-code, or no- code interface. Effectively, we provide a single hyperautomation enablement suite with integrated capabilities, all at the price of a few RPA bots. Our enterprise customers and partners are building transformative solutions across industries like banking, insurance, and healthcare and across domains such as finance and accounting, supply chain, and sales and marketing. These are mission-critical applications and the e.IQ platform provides a secure and scalable foundational layer. Share your opinion on how modern technologies have transformed the low code development solutions niche and what more could be expected in the near future? Everyone knows that low-code development has established itself as a frontrunner in the software industry, especially since the pandemic. Enterprises and organizations have begun the shift towards low code applications to build applications faster, stay relevant, have a competitive edge while continuing to digitally transform their business to sustain in this evolving space. The LCAP or low-code application platforms trend is only expected to grow further in 2022. In fact, Gartner estimates that "by 2024, low-code application development will be responsible for more than 70% of application development activity". I feel that low code and hyperautomation have proven themselves as a credible and realistic way for organizations to develop new digital solutions much faster and stay a step ahead of their competitors without drowning out in complexities. As this market slowly converts to an enterprise automation market, the need of the hour will soon be and is already an end-to-end hyperautomation platform. And that is what we solve with the e.IQ platform. Our platform is the only low-code or no-code platform that has capabilities of frontend development, data processing, cognitive capabilities, and enterprise connectors – all in the same consistent drag and drop interface. Considering the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on global economies, what were the challenges faced by your company, and how did you pivot from those challenges? The pandemic hit us at a point when we had not even completed a year in operation. It was sudden and unexpected, as most crises are. After the first couple of months where we adopted the lockdowns and remote working, we were able to win multi-year subscriptions with enterprise customers in 2020 and more than quadruple that in 2021. Awards and Recognition Ÿ EvoluteIQ has been recognized in the 2021 Gartner® market guide for Business Process Automation tools. Ÿ EvoluteIQ has been featured in the HFS Hot Vendor Analyst Report for Q3 2021. Ÿ EvoluteIQ is the only LC/NC automation platform company amongst the eight that were selected from over 700 rms to be part of the PwC 2022 Scale FinTech program. | February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com 24
  • 27. We were able to demonstrate the simplicity and accelerated deployment capability of the e.IQ platform, which enabled our customers to realize their business KPIs much faster and at a significantly lower cost. This allowed them to adopt e.IQ faster and scale new processes on the platform at a much more rapid pace than they had done before. Today, the work we are doing at EvoluteIQ is more relevant than ever in this digital-first world. The technology we provide is increasingly becoming an integral part of people's lives, and the way I see it will continue to do so in the future, too, because hyperautomation will be an integral part of any enterprise in this post COVID world. What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs aspiring to venture into the low code development solutions space? It is a very crowded and also evolving space with many Low Code platforms in the market. If you are planning to venture into this solutions space, then LCAP is just "table stakes." You will need to do more in terms of technology features and have a clear differentiator that will demonstrate business results quickly. How do you envision scaling your company's operations and offerings in 2022 and beyond? The year 2022 is set to be much more exciting and rewarding for us at EvoluteIQ as we continue to work together on multiple initiatives to deliver the best technology. The world is moving towards Enterprise Automation, and we believe we already have pole position given the integrated feature-rich platform we have. Our focus through 2022 and beyond will be to maintain that leadership and scale our go-to-market efforts.

  • 31. Making well-informed and timely business decisions is one of the most important factors for attaining profits. Businesses have become dependent on the data that is generated by their customers. Because of the rapidly changing data landscape, organizations must also keep up with it and adapt to the current market dynamics in order to stay ahead. Business decisions need to be frequently updated based on the present market situation. This is dependent on the data that is processed by each department, process flows, and analysis. Automation in businesses has made decision- making easier. The benefits of introducing automation into the decision- making process are numerous. It helps businesses make efficient and timely use of data while remaining a customer- centric organization. FlexRule is the next-generation end- to-end decision management and automation platform. It provides first-rate decision management and automation services that allow organizations to make enhanced, situation-aware, and customer-centric decisions. We interviewed FlexRule's Arash Aghlara, the Founder and CEO, and Goli Tajadod, Co-founder and VP of Customer Success, to get a deeper understanding of how their platform is changing the way decisions are made in organizations. Below are the excerpts from the interview: Please brief our audience about your company, its values, and how it is positioned as a leading player in the software development space.

FlexRule provides the full-scale platform for end-to-end decision management and automation - FlexRule™ Advanced Decision Management Suite. It is a powerful, unified platform architected for organizations to make optimized, customer-centric, and situation-aware decisions by orchestrating, automating, and managing business decisions using business rules, processes, data, analytics, and robotics. With the platform's low-code and intuitive user interface, business, technology, and operation leaders can quickly utilize decision-making technologies and make quality decisions! With customers ranging from start-ups to large enterprises to government agencies, FlexRule has delivered game- changing business results across many industries such as finance, lending, banking, accounting services, insurance, healthcare, energy, and supply chain and logistics. With our end-to-end decision management and automation platform, organizations can offer customized financial products, insurance policies, or health regimens and make quality decisions for product configuration, credit approval, patient diagnosis, and many other applications. Share your opinion on how modern technologies have transformed the low code development solutions niche, and what more could be expected in the near future? Modern technologies made the low-code paradigm a practical approach to building many types of Line of Business (LOB) applications; for internal and external- facing applications. As technology becomes more accessible and there is a new entrant to the low-code app development market every day, the required investment in building the LOB applications is reduced significantly today. However, the generic purpose low-code app builder that can address LOB applications will not address many typical enterprise challenges, particularly in regulated environments. However, as we see in today's disrupted business landscape, building the apps, whether hard or easy, low- code or pro-code, will not take away the day-to-day decision-making activity from the staff, operations, and domain experts. Consistency and accuracy of operational decisions are more concerning and degrading because of supply-chain challenges, staffing, etc. Therefore, I do anticipate that decision automation tools with a low-code approach will soon become a necessity rather than a good-to-have priority for any organization dealing with any change, either regulatory requirements or market dynamic in a comparative landscape. Considering the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on global economies, what were the challenges faced by your company, and how did you pivot from those challenges? For us, it slowed things down a bit and warranted transforming the usual way of working. The business-as- usual approach would not have worked perfectly as we liked, especially in day-to-day operations and team collaboration. We improved our day-to-day operations with streamlined processes and productive systems that cater to customers and the internal team. We embraced reality and continue to deal with it (weaknesses, problems, and mistakes). We improved team collaboration and full visibility of the planned projects as per the set goals and priorities, empowering the team with collaboration tools to deliver value. | February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com 30

  • 34. nterprises have been in the midst of a digital Etransformation process in recent years. The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically increased the demand for the complete digitization of business. Companies nowadays are required to add various applications and features to their underlying systems continually to digitally enhance their operations and customer service. As we all know, conventional software development requires time, planning, and understanding of major programming languages. For this reason, developers have to start everything from scratch in order to create software or new upgrades. In addition, complex codes keep citizen developers from participating in the software development process. Considering the various limitations of the traditional software development process, the IT industry has come up with a disruptive way of developing enterprise software or app solutions. It is known as Low-code or No-code Platforms (LCNC) development. How Do Low-code/No-code Platforms Work? Going by the definition, the Low-code concept is a self- describing one. That is to create a software or app solution with minimal coding addition. The technology industry has compressed complex programming lines into methods or objects that can be easily called by simply typing their names when coding. Like Low-code, No-code is also self-explanatory. It's a further extension of the low-code concept. The only factor is that one can just drag and drop ready-to-compile tools on to the screen to create software applications. The Low-code and No-code (LCNC) services are provided over the cloud-based platforms. That makes the IT industry a more democratized one where citizen developers with little or no understanding of coding can participate in the software/application-development process. With the dynamic nature of business and the ability of LCNC technology, companies are rapidly modernizing themselves in order to have an edge in the consumer market. Below are the reasons why low-code or no-code platforms are becoming the most disruptive trend of 2022. Digitization Wave The COVID-19 pandemic fueled the digitization waves within organizations to the next level. During that time, businesses had to provide a work-from-home option for their employees. That led to the need to have various cloud- based technologies for companies to carry on their operations. The cloud-based LCNC platforms proved to be simple and speedy solutions for companies to get their business going. | February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com 32 WHY Low-code/No-code PLATFORMS are the Most Trend DISRUPTIVE of 2022?

  • 36. Several industry studies suggest that the future of technology development will be majorly concentrated on availing the LCNC platform-based services for software development. According to a research survey by Gartner, "By 2024, low-code application development will be responsible for more than 65% of application development activity.” Services for Reliable Cloud Integration As businesses are progressing rapidly in their digital voyage, they will need to add different and new technology features into their software. With cloud computing-based LCNC services, companies can integrate as many software features as they would like in one place to collectively work on them. The technology solutions created on these LCNC platforms can easily be integrated with the existing databases and processes of the company. One can migrate them completely to the cloud when needed. Also, the process of importing and exporting large data files is easier and can be done in a few steps. Moreover, with an internet connection, companies can have secure access to their software anytime and anywhere, 24x7. Enhanced Interactivity Low-code or no-code technology has facilitated companies to have one central system where multiple software or application services can be seamlessly integrated. Due to this, the data flow between the internal departments is processed and proceeded within a matter of seconds after it is entered. This enables company executives to look into the status reports on each lead, opportunity, and client with a few clicks. Empowering Citizen Developers Using low-code or no-code platforms, non-IT professionals can also start building software systems of their choice. Due to their familiarity with work and business challenges, they can instantly start creating a software or application solution that suits their requirements. In addition, those with coding and development knowledge can enhance the abilities of the LCNC software solutions to make them more valuable. They can also spend more time strategizing to make the apps more suitable for the organization's business objective. Boosting Automation Processes The automation drive within organizations is at an all-time high. Credit goes to advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Cloud Computing, and many more. The LCNC platforms provide the opportunity for companies to have access to as much of the latest technology as possible for their client businesses. They enable them to be more secure, dynamic, and visual. Client companies can integrate these modern technologies within their LCNC software or app solution to enhance their business operations. Wrapping Up The capabilities of low-code and no-code platforms are giving businesses across all sectors a much-needed digital breakthrough. The digitization wave which got further acceleration due to COVID, is a sign that we are in the era of Industrial Revolution 4.0. For the years 2020 and 2021, it was about discovering and adapting to these LCNC platforms. Now that the trend is getting wider recognition from corporate teams, the year 2022 will see a further rise in its acceptance from worldwide businesses. Overall, the LCNC trend is here to stay and is enabling companies' digitization processes, a smooth ride. - Vishal Golekar | February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com 34

Towards the end of the decade, I was heading delivery for the US, Caribbean, and West India. From 2010 onwards, I was entrusted to lead the products and solutions division to expand Newgen's footprint and grow business in North America, South/Central America, including the Caribbean, LATAM, and Brazil. I helped set up the products and solutions practice intertwined with delivery methodologies in Newgen US. Soon, the results started pouring in with a couple of back-to-back breakthroughs in the US community banking and credit union segment. Towards the end of the last decade, Newgen strategized GSI (Global System Integrator) partnership-led sales motion in the US, and I led the initiative. Today I head the products and solutions division and GSI relations for Americas and continue to be an active contributor in product development. I also actively collaborate with marketing for analyst engagements and more. Top 10 Low-Code/No-code Development Pla orms
  • 40. Share your opinion on how modern technologies have transformed the low code development solutions niche, and what more could be expected in the near future? Several leading-edge technologies are being stitched into the low code development suite. However, true digital transformation is achieved only when these modern technologies are used in the context of the business, keeping customers and employees in mind. Here is a classic example of how a low code platform is being complemented by new-age technologies to deliver a seamless customer experience: Consider a home equity loan solution that is built on a low code platform. It includes content services, NLP, AI/ML Cognit, and RPA. And then, it integrates with several internal and external systems to collate the information and unify it before presenting it to knowledge workers. These systems include bureaus for credit report, agencies for appraisal reports, core banking for customer information, to name a few. All these technologies work in tandem to deliver a seamless customer experience. Considering the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on global economies, what were the challenges faced by Newgen Software's doors, and how did you pivot from those challenges? Like any other business, we too had to respond to the unprecedented situation quickly. We implemented business continuity measures and extended our development network via VPN connectivity, enabling our employees to work remotely. This helped us maintain our operational resilience. And we also offered our solutions on the cloud, which made deployment possible within hours and in line with the regulatory requirements of every geography. Having mentioned the challenges, the pandemic also presented tremendous opportunities for us as it accelerated the need for digital transformation across industries globally. We were able to anticipate the business and the market changes, and we quickly responded by shifting our employees and customers to a remote working environment. There was no business disruption, and the quality of our services remained top-notch. Our NewgenONE platform was a great enabler in ensuring that our customers were able to transition to the new normal of a digital working environment without any hiccups. What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs aspiring to venture into the low code development solutions space? There are two aspects of low code solutions—citizen developer and professional developer-based solutions. While citizen developers utilize low code for departmental and simple to medium complex information processes, professional developers combine several tools and technologies to deliver mission-critical and complex business automation solutions. For low code enthusiasts, I urge them to look at it from the perspective of revitalizing the business case for content and collaborative services, as your business imperatives change in today's uncertain times. Keep the business case fresh as priorities continue to change and the maturity level of low code platforms keep rising. Align the business case to the top corporate priorities to help obviate failure Get executive support – it leads to sponsorship Show quick wins Set performance metrics aligned with the corporate priorities you identified, and decide how to recognize the desired outcomes Address change management and user adoption issue iteratively. It is not a one-time project Gather and use data and feedback to plan for continuous improvement. How do you envision scaling Newgen Software's operations and offerings in 2022 and beyond? NewgenONE, our low code-based digital transformation platform, continues to enable enterprises globally with rapid and agile development and deployment of complex business applications. The platform will continue to inherit current and future enhancements of its underlying platforms for content services, process automation, and customer engagement. In 2022 we will focus on improving the developer experience, strengthening functionality with AI/ML and RPA, enhancing the deployment and application governance experience, improving integration between Newgen's products and third-party systems, and building a consistent, new-age UI/UX across all products. To make our solutions future-proof, we will continue to further enhance our solutions with new-age technologies like AI, ML, process analytics, intelligent content services, contextual automation of business processes, mobility, and digital sensing.

  • 43. G one are the days when creating complex apps required employing multiple developers, spending huge capital, and then waiting for days. With the introduction of low-code or no-code platforms, building applications has become simplified and quicker. What's more easier and quicker is OneBlink's Low-code app development Suite (LcS) that enables business users to create sophisticated applications to support their business processes without the need for the IT department to get involved. OneBlink has been developing mobile apps in Australia for 15 years and has earned the trust of businesses as well as several state and local government regulatory agencies. It caters to many industry segments, including Transport & Logistics, Local/State Government, Construction, Education, Financial Services, Utilities and Healthcare. We at Insights Success caught up with Alan Williams, the CTO, and Darren Besgrove, the CEO of OneBlink, to learn more about the company and its top-notch offerings. Below are the highlights of the interview: Please brief our audience about OneBlink its values, and how it is positioned as a leading player in the software development space. OneBlink is a 15-year veteran of the Australian mobile app development sector and now enjoys a trusted position among enterprises and many state and local government regulatory entities. OneBlink originally began life as BlinkMobile and evolved from intelligent SMS solutions to providing rapid mobile development tools for SI's, developers, and IT teams. The company changed its name to OneBlink 5 years ago following the evolution of its powerful no/low-code offering and is now regarded as the leading Australian owned and operated No/Low-code Development Platform. Elaborate more on the solutions and services that your company offers and how are these making an impact on the industry and your clients? The OneBlink Low-code Suite (or LCS) increases the velocity of an organization's digital transformation and allows them to respond more quickly and reliably to changing social, health, or legislative demands on their business processes. OneBlink's low-code platform is unique in its capability to equally serve the needs of citizen developers, in-house IT teams, and external SI's, removing the need for these groups to duplicate or port work to other toolsets. Gartner estimates that by 2025, 75% of organizations will run at least four low-code tools for IT app and citizen development. The impact that OneBlink is making is that our customers can reduce or completely remove their need for other low-code toolsets. The OneBlink combination of no-code, low-code, and pro-code capabilities in the one product reduces our customers' subscription costs, the time and expense of new product evaluations and procurement, plus reduces their support and training overheads. It also means different levels of users within organizations can more effectively collaborate on projects - as business users can build their V1 solutions and pass them within the same platform to internal or external IT teams to further enhance them into mission-critical solutions. Share your opinion on how modern technologies have transformed the low code development solutions niche and what more could be expected soon? There are many aspects to the no/low-code sector. Some tools and vendors focus on supporting the needs of professional developers, while others look more exclusively at business-level users or citizen developers. OneBlink is somewhat unique in that we effectively support the differing needs of both sets of users. The other distinction is those low-code vendors that act purely as 'pass through' solutions, i.e., their technology is designed to interface into existing (often legacy) systems of record, versus those that provide for data storage as retrieval, so they can be used to build complete stand-alone solutions. LcS (Low-code Suite) empowers an organisations' business users to conduct their own development via No/Low-code Tools, while also providing services that increase the productivity of IT Teams as they undertake custom development.

  • 44. Soon we are seeing the requirement to incorporate AI – both to further speed up the low-code development experience but also within apps and workflows themselves to supersede some of what is done currently with conditional logic and data/regular expression verifications. Considering the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on global economies, what were the challenges faced by your company and how did you pivot from those challenges? OneBlink has survived the COVID-19 pandemic relatively unscathed. Yes, there were problems in terms of rent being paid on office premises that we couldn't use during lockdowns. But our development teams were well versed in working from home as we encouraged this flexibility many years ago. We did find it hard to secure new customers during this period as many were distracted by the disruptions of the pandemic, but again as a SaaS vendor, our existing customers dramatically expanded their use of our software in new and interesting ways, increasing their usage and their average spend. The pivot now is more about adapting to a new way of hybrid working that suits our people and customers. What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs aspiring to venture into the low code development solutions space? While some predicted a few years back that the sector would experience significant consolidation, the number of new players continues to grow. If you were to venture into the space now, my advice would be like entering any other software sector, understand what you're good at, identify the pain points that people are willing to pay to address, and find your niche. How do you envision scaling your company's operations and offerings in 2022 and beyond? A key aspect of our strategy to continue scaling is our recent strategy to partner with other ISVs who don't have their low code capability and stand to be marginalized as rd their customers look to other 3 party vendors to provide this capability. Under our low-code ISV Partner/White Label program, these ISVs can offer their customers a mature and robust platform under their brand at a fraction of the time and cost it would take to develop themselves (assuming they even had the capability). Further, we ensure their White Label version of our software runs in its dedicated cloud infrastructure, and we take on the engineering effort to ensure that their product version is unique, with dedicated connectors into their products and meaningful customizations in line with their customer needs. This model is already operating with a North American ISV and another global SaaS vendor, and we expect to expand this service to more partners over the next few years. A Prominent Name OneBlink has not sought out awards for its core technology but instead has focused on the accreditations needed to cement its position with larger customers and prospects. This includes OneBlink achieving AWS accreditations and competencies for MOBILE, GOVERNMENT, recognition as an AWS Public Sector Partner, and inclusion in the AWS Marketplace. Other Awards in the last year recognize the global scaling initiatives discussed in the question above, with the company being a finalist in the NSW Premiers Export Awards and a featured company in the NSW Government International Trade Statement. OneBlink was also a recent finalist in The RegTech Association’s 2021 Exporter of the Year Award. Beyond many local government agencies, our key reference customers are NSW Primary Industries, NSW Forestry Corp, and SafeWork NSW. What Clients Have to Say? “OneBlink was a great solution to our requirements, their support team is well versed in their product and extremely helpful which made the move to OneBlink a very smooth process.” - Benjamin Evans, Greater Shepparton City Council “The biggest gains are occurring when we carry out audits. Today, staff can conduct audits more efficiently, so while we're undertaking more audits and inspections, we're also able to spend more time with our customers.” - Debbie Brookfield, NSW Biosecurity and Food Safety. | February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com 42

  • 52. The Emergence of Low-code/No-code Technology These days, technology seamlessly merges with every sector of the business world. This integration enables companies to simplify their work operations and speedily serve their customers. With time, business requirements upgrade; technology too and have to level up with the scale. Today, businesses need to have their own Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, various applications, websites, and much more. This means that the necessity for technology upgrades has become proportionate to the dynamic market demands that businesses have to provide. Shortcomings of the Conventional Technology Development Process For technology to match up with the space of market demands, it has to have the ability to speedily create the solutions. However, going by the traditional coding method, achieving a fast technological product is next to impossible. Due to the complexities that are involved in planning and coding the technology solution, it may take months to develop a technology product. Furthermore, even if the developers keep writing lengthy code to build new tech products, their capabilities are centered on hovering over the process repeatedly. This usually results in their exhaustion. In addition, the time lost cannot be recovered. It is imperative that developers use their skills to strategize rather than repeat the same processes every time. Additionally, one has to be efficient in one or many programming languages to start developing technology. Because of this, the average citizen or enthusiast cannot actively participate in the software or app-making process unless they are well versed in programming/coding. The Low-code/No-code Solution It is known that technology can be a solution to numerous business problems. As it turns out, it can be a solution to its own challenges too. Big and small tech companies globally have found a way to compress the programming process significantly. The solutions that these companies establish need less coding knowledge or no coding knowledge at all for one to begin developing. The platforms that provide such solutions are known as Low Code or No Code (LCNC) platforms. As the tech experts put it, "the Low-code No-code is a visual and hassle-free approach to software development. Basically, it creates enterprise-level applications using visuals and basic skills without proficient programming knowledge or skills." The LCNC platforms allow business software or application development in such a way that one does not have to follow all the conventional software development methodologies. Using these modern software development platforms, one can start creating the technological solution within a matter of minutes. Also, the software can be deployed in the shortest time window. | February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com 50

  • 54. Moreover, the LCNC platforms are quickly becoming a booming trend in technology and business enterprises. As reported by the research of the KPMG platform, low-code is the future of application development and automation. They can easily integrate with the company's existing information system to allow businesses to create sophisticated enterprise-class applications by incorporating complex business logic. Below are a few but major benefits of the LCNC technology. Offering Rapid Technology Solutions Businesses are becoming stronger each day with the help of technology. So much so that it is now nearly impossible to imagine a company without technology at its core. But, it is also true that businesses need to be dynamic these days based on market sentiments. In such a scenario, they need to keep innovating new ways to improve the existing system and simultaneously come up with new solutions. The LCNC platforms efficiently fulfil this requirement as they assist businesses by speedily developing technology. This can be done much faster and more effortlessly than conventional software development methods. An Effective Solution for Automation A whole lot of organizations worldwide are looking to introduce automation in their business operations. This will allow them the opportunity to automate repetitive tasks efficiently. With the help of LCNC solutions, companies can build a whole range of software or other technological features that can add different repetitive tasks within their purposes. The speed offered by the LCNC technology can enable an enterprise to get as many solutions deployed for the automation process as they would require. A Cost-effective Solution Nowadays, the competition within businesses has risen extensively. Be it a small or big organization, one has to ensure that it is delivering the best possible products and services to its customers. For big businesses, it is easier to rely on the resources available to build technology solutions that best suit their needs to fulfill internal and external demands. However, for smaller businesses or new startups, time and money are important resources that cannot be afforded to be lost. The LCNC technology platforms provide a great deal of assistance for such organizations. With just a small budget allocation, they can employ the services of LCNC platforms and start developing with little or no assistance needed. Participation of Citizen Developers Building software or apps using LCNC technology platforms has become much easier. Any educated person with little or no coding knowledge can start developing the software they need. The technological concepts on these platforms are made as easy as possible for anyone to grasp. A person can start the development process by dragging and dropping the needed buttons, processes, flowcharts, and many other options to design a business solution. In addition to this, software developers can spend more time planning and strategizing in order to develop the best possible solutions using low-code technology. The Concluding Words All things considered, one can say that LCNC is becoming the next emerging technology trend in the business world. The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered many businesses to digitize their businesses rapidly. To accomplish this objective, instead of relying on lengthy conventional software development and deployment processes, businesses are finding LCNC platforms to be the easiest and most cost-effective solution. Furthermore, it has also given software developers more time to spend on software planning processes to come up with the best possible technology solutions. - Vishal Golekar | February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com 52

  • 56. Nearly every organization in today's time is constantly facing the requirement to upgrade its operations based on dynamic market demands and feedback. Most of these operations are performed using software applications. The traditional approach of building apps based on market requirements takes too much time, as well as it is difficult to make them more agile when the market changes. This issue can affect the profit numbers of the organization and also its ability to face the competition more effectively. Low-code or no-code cloud-based platforms are making their marks in the IT industry due to their efficiency in rapidly adapting to clients' requirements. Pillir is a low-code or no-code, cloud-based platform that enables companies to build customized apps 20 times faster than traditional methods. It leverages the power of SAP's digital core from any device, with or without connectivity. It enables organizations at any stage of their SAP journeys to innovate quickly and easily, with little-to-no programming requirements, rapidly moving custom development to the edge. We interviewed Pillir's and CEO Founder – Vaidya Aiyer, to get detailed insights about the platform's usefulness for organizations to become more efficient. Below are the excerpts from the interview: Please brief our audience about your company, its values, and how it is positioned as a leading player in the software development space. Pillir offers a suite of applications based on its-award winning low-code platform that allows companies to operate better, to conduct business more efficiently, and to respond faster to market needs by modernizing the software applications that their employees use to conduct business, making those applications accessible through the cloud and/or via mobile devices. We offer a way for enterprises, especially larger organizations who use ERP (enterprise resource planning) software, to quickly manage their operations and supply chains. These include functions such as warehouse management, inventory management, procurement, and asset management. This is most valuable for asset-intensive companies that maintain large warehouses and store and transport inventory or supplies. That includes companies in industries such as manufacturing, retail, logistics, automotive, energy, utilities, mining, and oil and gas. We particularly work with companies that maintain SAP environments. On top of the out-of-the-box, tailor-made applications, we provide our customers with a low-code platform that enables them to build any business function they need. We enable companies to 'software-ize' their unique, competitive business processes in hours or days, with little-to-no development and maintenance effort. This is opposed to companies having to adapt their unique processes to conform to out-of-the-box software applications from existing ERP solutions, which could cause them to lose their competitive edge. The new software-based processes increase efficiency and give these companies immediate visibility into their unique operations. Our vision and the value we provide is to allow companies to modernize their supply chains more quickly, more easily, with less risk, and for less cost. This way they can focus on more efficient operations and respond faster to market needs, allowing them to focus on their core business.

  • 58. Elaborate more on the solutions and services that your company offers, and how are these making an impact on the industry and your clients? In the current market, these larger enterprise environments are facing rising costs in their supply chain and a shortage of IT talent, yet they are looking to modernize and increase efficiency. Their legacy IT environments address their unique and differentiated business processes but are often overly complex. They have also typically been updated, patched, and customized over many years, making it difficult for companies to then convert them to cloud-based versions. Once moved to the cloud, companies are able to have greater mobility, and visibility of their data and processes, especially regarding various supply chain functions like inventory, logistics, and warehousing. Pillir provides supply chain solutions built on a cloud- native low-code/no-code platform. Enterprises can quickly deploy those pre-built applications and integrate them into their existing ERP/IT applications environment, as well as tweak them quickly to accommodate the company's unique business processes, all without having to write a single line of code using our low-code/no-code platform. In addition, we provide a unique capability to automatically transform their legacy ERP/SAP customizations into cloud-native applications on our no-code platform. This enables these companies to retain their unique, custom business processes and leverage the IP from legacy applications instead of dumping them and either restarting or, worse, losing their competitive edge by standardizing their unique processes. This has also increased efficiency by allowing them to use any device (desktop, tablet, mobile phone, or hardened handheld devices) anywhere regardless of the status of connectivity in their locations, as well as utilize new and improved processes and mechanisms (adding scanners, images, or new locations, etc. to their systems). Customers gain different business benefits from these new processes. For instance, we have a customer that alleviates certain safety hazards in industrial settings, where workers previously had to physically transport data through busy warehouses. With their new, modernized applications, employees no longer have to walk through areas where heavy equipment such as forklifts are in use in order to check inventory data. Operators in the warehouse can now scan, view, and change that information from their forklifts without having to get down and walk through the aisles. That not only decreases safety risks but improves productivity. Another customer reduced the amount of manual labor involved in materials management by 30%. Yet another reduced data entry for field teams by more than 95%. And a fourth client shortened payroll processing from three days utilizing five people to two hours utilizing only a single person. Please brief us about your journey in the industry, and how you have contributed towards the company's success. In terms of my personal journey, I have been devoted specifically to the custom development of business applications in SAP environments for a very long time. I began programming in the early '90s, specializing in integrations back when that area was first emerging. But my industry focus was always manufacturing and supply chains. Custom development at that time was–and still is today–a very tedious process, especially when it comes to ERP. It is expensive and requires many people, who are often hard to find. I developed Pillir to solve such problems, to expedite innovation in the world of ERP through the use of a low- code platform. When we solved the problem for ourselves, we realized that many other companies were having the same issues, and we knew we could address that for other enterprises. We, therefore, became a start-up in the rapid application development market, so we could help organizations build new applications and innovate their business applications more quickly and easily using less personnel. That is what we bring to the table. We reduce the complexity of innovation in ERP environments. Share your opinion on how modern technologies have transformed the low code development solutions niche and what more could be expected in the near future? Low-code or rapid application development has been with us a very long time, although we may not realize it. I can argue that Microsoft Excel is among the early, successful pioneers of low code. Technology has come a long way to automate much of what programmers do in traditional application development. Elements like cloud, mobility, big data, machine learning, and various open-source initiatives have helped drive the automation of application development towards low-code and no-code platforms. Low-code and no-code now encompass complex enterprise application development; integrations to multiple enterprise applications; and even | February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com 56

For example, no matter how easy low-code/no-code may be, large enterprises have tons of legacy applications, making it near impossible to document all that tribal knowledge. Those complex legacy applications need to be redeveloped using a low-code/no-code platform. A "transform-code"-based platform takes LC/NC one step further. It decompiles and understands the ins and outs of legacy applications and transforms them into new, modern applications through advanced automation, accelerating modernization. These powerful platforms will help deliver modern capabilities on various form factors such as the web, kiosks, mobile, ruggedized devices, and more, so workers have all the data and market intelligence of their unique business right in their pockets. Considering the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on global economies, what were the challenges faced by your company's doors, and how did you pivot from those challenges? There has been a developer shortage in the market for many years now. Once the pandemic hit, a labor shortage set in across-the-board. Companies do not have the people available to deliver modernized business processes, putting a dent in digital transformation. Pillir has stepped in to provide pre-built solutions that address different business needs like inventory and warehouse management, including different suites and application packages that are customized to each business' unique needs. What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs aspiring to venture into the low code development solutions space? Low-code/no-code is to application development what cloud is to infrastructure. A few years ago, businesses had to procure and maintain infrastructure in order to conduct business. Cloud turned that upside-down. Dependence on infrastructure personnel is gone. Employees simply log in with a cloud provider and provision the infrastructure they need in minutes. Similarly, LC/NC platforms are democratizing and removing the dependency on expensive application programmers. Businesses will always have a need for custom business processes. But soon, just like what happened with cloud infrastructures, developers will be able to log into their favorite LC/NC platform, pick a business process, customize it to their unique needs, integrate it with other applications in their corporate IT fabric, and deploy within hours or days. That also means when the time comes to change or tweak that business application (e.g., an unforeseen event like the pandemic), these companies will be able to change their processes and streamline their operations to address market conditions faster than ever. My advice to budding entrepreneurs is to take advantage and ride this wave sooner rather than later. How do you envision scaling your company's operations and offerings in 2022 and beyond? Pillir has one of the most advanced low-code/no-code platforms in the industry, especially for ERP-based and asset-heavy industries. We are taking it a step further by launching applications on our award-winning low-code/no- code platform to streamline and modernize supply chains globally. This year and beyond, we will launch hundreds of applications that enable companies to leverage their competitive, unique business processes by simply picking these applications and integrating/customizing to their unique needs without writing a single line of code. We are starting with the launch of a new suite of applications for goods movement across sites and warehouses. This suite will have 16 individuals but integrated, pre-built applications that address the full range of functions involved in goods movement in a warehouse setting, including inventory and warehouse management tasks. This makes it easier for customers who are struggling with the time requirements of innovation or just have a shortage of talent to learn and implement low-code platforms. We will be expanding with new suites and products going forward to address a more comprehensive range of business tasks that enterprises must undertake in ERP environments. | February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com 57
