Are low-code-loving customers leaving legacies in the lurch?
Cloud infrastructure and virtualization have steadily abstracted complexities away, giving rise to low-code and no-code platforms that aim to make app creators out of regular business people.
“The infrastructure is slave to the app; the app is no longer slave to the infrastructure,” said Jeff Frick (@JeffFrick) (pictured, left), hosts of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile live streaming studio.
Frick and co-host Dave Vellante (@dvellante) (pictured, right) analyzed news and events from the ServiceNow Knowledge17 event n Orlando, Florida. (* Disclosure below.)
To match the new model, legacy infrastructure firms are struggling to turn themselves bottoms-up, while software and services companies are having a much easier time, according to Frick.
ServiceNow Inc. is such a company, Vellante said, pointing to the company’s 30 percent year-over-year revenue growth. ServicNow’s market wins owe much to its low-code platform that enables non-developers to innovate on top of it within their companies.
“When you talk to the customers, they’re taking this platform and they’re doing more with it. They’re bringing it to new parts of the business; they’re developing new applications on top of it; they’re using this platform to completely transform the way they work,” Vellante said.
Machines learn to speak human
Machine learning will likely make no-code and low-cloud platforms even more human-friendly, Frick pointed out.
“No longer are people going to have to be forced to talk like machines, but now the machines will have the horsepower, bandwidth and compute to actually start to listen to the people,” he said.
Thus, “There’s going to be a whole other wave of execution and growth in the way apps develop,” Frick stated, noting how ServiceNow’s recent machine learning integrations position the company as a forerunner here.
