No-code software development enables business professionals with organizational knowledge and operational insight to build applications in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional development.
How Does No-Code Work? No-code eliminates the need to learn code when implementing business logic for your apps. With a visual approach to software development, no-code users leverage intuitive tools with all the complex programming syntax hidden underneath. That’s why the term "no-code" is a bit of a misnomer — coding still exists behind the scenes. No-code platforms utilize code abstraction, leaving users free to create their applications via familiar point-and-click and drag-and-drop technology.
How Are No-Code and Low-Code Related? No-code is the natural evolution of low-code development. Maintaining low code’s goal of rapidly deploying applications, no-code leans further into templated visual models for the benefit of business users without programming experience. Both no-code and low-code platforms typically come with built-in database infrastructure, cloud hosting, security features, compliance standards, user management and other systems that promote speed and accessibility.
No-code enables organizations to increase team productivity by allowing them to rapidly create custom software applications that support their everyday workflows — without dealing with the cost and complexity of manual coding.
Business users operate visual interfaces inside no-code platforms to bridge the technical gap between an idea and a workable application. They can also adapt applications to changing workflow and customer requirements.
No-code supports real-time data by integrating an online database. By eliminating data silos that often occur with legacy systems, businesses promote cross-functional collaboration and data sharing with a single source of truth.
No-code platforms empower users to deploy apps faster, allowing you to create new products or pursue market opportunities. They reduce the burden on your IT team and help your company gain a competitive edge through digital innovation.
Reduce the cost of product rollouts and improve business efficiency. With no-code, line of business users are empowered to create innovative apps, enabling businesses to meet the demand for digitized workflows using existing resources.
Using no-code platforms, business users can immediately build applications without investing in costly in-house IT infrastructure or constantly monitoring uptime. No-code eliminates complex infrastructure setup and configuration.
Proactively mitigate application breakdowns due to outdated code. No-code platforms automatically update applications so they remain functional and compatible with evolving browsers, operating systems and other technologies.
Low-code software development allows proficient coders to build cloud apps faster using a visually intuitive and extensible environment. It accommodates code composition for customized solutions.
How Does Low Code Work? Low-code development enables skilled developers to complete projects in a shorter time frame. Low-code apps are built, updated and maintained in a visual environment – similar to no-code – but with more emphasis on custom extensions and API integrations. Depending on the platform, coding requirements range from proprietary syntax to industry-standard languages.
When Do You Use Low Code? Compared with no-code, low-code platforms allow businesses to be more flexible in fulfilling sophisticated application requirements. Common low-code use cases include complex workflow automation, digitization of proprietary business procedures, modernization of disparate legacy systems and increased compliance with industry regulations such as HIPAA and FERPA.
Low code reduces development time for experienced coders through its flexible visual interface. With low code, IT teams expedite app creation and customization, increasing productivity.
Low code provides efficient and scalable backend code components to help alleviate delays caused by repetitive coding and mundane maintenance tasks. IT teams gain more time to focus on other technical system developments.
Meet industry compliance standards while integrating with third-party services using built-in connectors. Low code also provides tech-savvy users the option to integrate existing business tools via APIs for maximum flexibility.
Using low code, business users are empowered to innovate by creating custom applications tailored to the way they work. At the same time, they stay within IT guardrails, addressing concerns regarding compatibility and security.
By simplifying automation development through visual tools, business users and experienced developers create workflows without complicated code. The business then benefits from automated processes without overloading the IT team.
By fast-tracking custom software development, low-code platforms enhance an organization’s agility. Since low code enables teams to customize their own apps, innovations in day-to-day operations become the norm, not the exception.
By bringing together line-of-business users and the IT department, as well as by allowing for customization and extensibility, low code provides users with the exact application they need to do their job better and faster.
The best no-code and low-code platforms enable users to quickly launch custom applications to make an immediate positive impact on the business. They enable rapid iterations by providing the means to build – and evolve – unique business workflows in a visual design environment. Whether you’re a non-IT citizen developer or an experienced programmer, no-code and low-code greatly accelerate your time to market compared to traditional development and legacy systems. Both no-code and low-code development promote minimal to no hand-coding and require lower upfront investments in setup, training, implementation and maintenance.
Unleash Your Hidden IT Workforce
Businesses lacking an in-house software development team can use no-code platforms to empower their employees to become citizen developers. No-code solutions enable non-programmer roles to step into critical application delivery and allow their organization to quickly develop custom apps.
By allowing citizen developers to take responsibility for delivering applications, no-code solutions free up skilled developers to focus on more advanced projects.

The Tennessee Department of Health (TDH) runs numerous campaigns like health inspections of restaurants, pools and other facilities, the distribution and allocation of thousands of grants, and so much more. In fact, TDH operates in 100 locations in 95 counties and employs over 5,000 nurses, doctors and administrative staff. The volume of citizens and the variety of tasks represent a handful of challenges for the state’s health agency, particularly when it comes to managing information silos. Alfredo Ramirez, TDH director of operations analysis, was brought in specifically to reconcile all information silos across the department. He needed help from IT to address their data management challenges. However, IT resources were already dedicated to fulfilling bigger state projects that directly impacted health services.
Ramirez wanted a solution where they can convert spreadsheets into online databases, as well as migrate existing MS Access databases to a centralized cloud location without much IT overhead. Using Caspio, Ramirez and his team started building an invoice tracking system. Then, they developed an inventory control system that monitors 20,000 assets. The project had been in development with IT for 18 months. With Caspio, the custom application was completed within two months. In the end, the agency achieved its goal of centralizing data and eliminating information silos. TDH also gained visibility into asset, budget and expenditure information at a granular level. More importantly, their team accomplished all of this without having to take critical IT resources off of major healthcare programs that directly benefit the people of Tennessee.
“I’ve always thought that healthcare is recession-proof. And for the first time, I was proven wrong when overnight, 70% of our business was gone,” said Snap Healthcare CEO Gene Howell, describing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to their company. They needed to pivot quickly and come up with a new offering to save the business. Howell envisioned a secure and scalable application that could track COVID-19 rapid test results for both employers and employees. It was clear to him that using existing software and outdated processes wouldn’t allow them to deliver an efficient cloud-based solution.
At the same time, the app’s database had to be HIPAA-compliant to ensure patient data privacy while allowing employers to securely manage their employee health information. With traditional development, the app would have taken an estimated six to nine months to complete. Using Caspio, Snap Healthcare launched the application in 60 days. Today, the Snap Healthcare portal serves as an all-in-one system to manage COVID-19 response programs, streamlining workflows across employers, employees, healthcare professionals and laboratory staff – all within a secure and compliant cloud application.
