This document discusses how low-code platforms can accelerate digital transformation by empowering employees to build custom applications. It notes that digital transformation initiatives are on the rise, with many large organizations launching initiatives and expecting digital revenue to increase significantly. The document recommends that enterprises start digital transformation by liberating employees through APIs, engaging them on collaboration platforms, and empowering them to build apps on low-code platforms. It then introduces WaveMaker as a low-code platform that allows business teams rather than just IT teams to rapidly develop mobile and web apps using visual design tools. Key features highlighted include API management, one-click deployment to public or private clouds, and standards-based development.

Apps being built by

unlimited customization
SaaS services directly
bought by business
teams.

7. Buying SaaS services are great, BUT…
• Shadow IT based security problems
• SaaS services offer limited customizations, making the
solutions incomplete most of the times
• Dependency on IT team again for customizations
• No centralized technology adoption
• Diversified services offer limited and complex
integration opportunities
Time for IT to take control and also enable employee innovation
But How?
