How Low-code platforms prepare companies for Industry 4.0
Virtual Conference sponsored by Siemens
September 9, 2021
11:00 AM (ET)
Intro Event:
In a commissioned study of IoT decision makers conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Siemens, 46% of respondents reported that partners developing vertical industry applications would be the most helpful to their organizations. At 43%, OEMs who incorporate edge technologies into their devices was the second top response.
Companies need cost-effective ways to quickly build industry-vertical IoT applications and leverage built-in connectivity with edge devices.
The success rate of an enterprise-scale digital project is very slim, with 70 percent of projects either facing serious challenges or failing altogether. It’s all about collaboration. Or a lack thereof. Business collaboration can become much easier using low-code applications. Low code/ no-code solutions have the potential to reduce the development time by 90% (1)
The average company avoided hiring two IT developers using low code tools. This reaped about $4.4 million in increased business value over three years from the applications designed. (Forrester)
70% of low code users who had no experience at all before using low code platforms learned low code in 1 month or less. (Mendix)
The Mendix and MindSphere integration addresses the needs as well as the challenge of a dramatic shortage of development talent. By expanding the pool of human capital available in an enterprise to support the development process, and radically accelerating that process through the low-code platform, companies can achieve a faster, greater return on their IoT investment.
Key Topics Covered
