Reach out to us here: https://www.wavemaker.com/talk-to-expert/ After more than a decade of experience in the low code space, Deepak Anupalli shortlists the evaluation parameters to be considered while assessing a low code vendor. Whether an enterprise is considering a move to low code or is already partnered with a low code vendor, it is important to take a step back and ask these questions. It is important to understand if low code is delivering the value sought after. The value, that not only results in customer satisfaction but also promotes growth, innovation and serves as a catalyst in achieving business goals.
