Whitepaper / Change easily. Helping enterprises. (2026)

1. WHITE PAPER
Change easily!
Helping enterprises stay nimble to gain a
competitive edge in dynamic markets

2. SITUATION
In today’s volatile economy, successful
companies are the ones that quickly adapt to
change. Despite knowing this, companies still
struggle to overcome the technology, data, and
process limitations that threaten to discourage
innovation.
Over the past decade, companies have been
championing agile methodologies as the magic
bullet for accelerating change in code-based
development. Traditional DevOps teams continue
to struggle to keep up with the necessary pace of
change. Even with agile methodologies, change
requests get stuck in backlogs, context gets
lost, or the possibility for a better solution is
diminished, which results in slower rollouts.
Companies are now initiating technology
transitions to move from code-based
development to no-code development platforms.
No-code development enables anyone with
knowledge of the business to participate in the
change process, while making it faster and easier
to perform change. However, even the companies
that are implementing no-code options may still
face barriers when it comes to changes.
PROBLEMS
The problems that continue to exist with
most new, no-code application development
companies on the market are as follows:
1. Changes are blocked by upstream
issues—usually data issues. The no-
code application development process is
hindered by what lies upstream: inflexible,
legacy, data platforms that still require
coded changes and are inaccessible to
business analysts.
2. Changes in data are controlled by IT
gatekeepers, due to concerns about data
security and access. Business analysts
do not have access to upstream data,
and therefore, they do not have a full
understanding of what data is available to
their company or how to effectively use it
for change.
3. Change management processes are ill-
equipped to scale for constant change.
Change processes rely heavily on manual
approvals, signoffs, and synchronous
meetings. They are initially put in place to
mitigate risks posed by ongoing changes
to enterprise platforms. However, to
accelerate change, they need to be
automated.
4. Changes are limited. No-code application
development platforms encourage preset
standard options. These off-the-shelf
options are what makes no code attractive:
The changes are so easy to make that
anyone is able to make them. However, no
code is also restrictive in situations when
the standard option does not work for the
enterprise or for the developer. No-code
platforms need to accommodate both types
of changes: no-code standards AND no-
code customization.
SOLUTION
Companies should further embrace no-code
DevOps to also include no-code changes in
their data warehouse, data processing, and
analytical modeling. And any existing change
processes need to be revisited and automated.

Before investing in a no-code solution,
companies should assess whether the new no-
code platform will enable them to:
1. CHANGE EASILY with non-technical setup of
all data, rules, and models
No-code is not only a movement for business
users that are building or defining a solution;
even a savvy IT developer will appreciate the
speed of “point-and-click” setup compared to
writing code. The menu-driven setup process,
that is a characteristic of no-code application
development, should be incorporated into
other aspects, such as: data warehousing,
processing, modeling, and workflows.
Legacy, upstream systems are replaced with
one unified, no-code, enterprise platform
that has a shared data structure across all
enterprise functions, making changes, like
adding a new data source or data field,
incredibly fast and easy.
Optymyze is unique in that it is the only
offering that combines five distinct operations
into one unified, no-code, enterprise platform:
1. No-code cloud data warehousing
2. No-code data processing platform
3. No-code analytic modeling
4. No-code collaborative planning
5. No-code application development
2. ADOPT CHANGE with democratized data
and user application development
Democratized data gives increased access and
responsibility to citizen developers or business
users, when and where it makes sense,
while still relying on IT to ultimately manage
the controls. Democratized data and user
application development by citizen developers
is achieved when access controls are easy to
specify and easy to enact. IT groups should
look for built-in data security, automatic audit-
tracking, and role-based permissions that are
defined at all levels of granularity and enacted
across the entire platform.
3. SIMPLIFY CHANGE with continuous
integration and autonomous deployment
Companies should plan integrations across
multiple solutions using built-in planning and
collaboration.
In order to achieve an issue-free, continuous
release from concurrent changes, citizen
developers should leverage automation
wherever possible: automated version controls,
automated testing, and automated migration
validations.
As the scale of changes grows, companies
should monitor changes using cloud and
performance analytics to scale successfully and
automatically.
These are key features to look for in an
enterprise solution, that will ensure full
support for constant change driven by fast-
paced citizen developer teams.
4. EMPOWER CHANGE with platform
developer enablement and support
A no-code enterprise solution needs to
offer both no-code standards and no-code
customization options. Ideally, the enterprise
solution should offer support and resources for
developers to customize changes based on the

unique business needs of their organizations. Developers should be able to inspire each other
with a built-in community of support and knowledge sharing. They should be able to coordinate
operations, development, and testing using modern collaboration.
OUTCOMES
When companies implement no-code technologies and use them across the entire enterprise,
they fully realize the competitive advantages of fast and easy change. These companies stand
out in the marketplace by avoiding the technology, data, or process constraints of the past.
By automating and revolutionizing their change processes, they avoid risks that are typical
byproducts of rapid changes. Additionally, strategic changes with low costs and low risks result
in companies staying relevant in a changing world.
