Low-code/No-Code Integrations and ServiceNow

As low-code and no-code solutions grow in popularity, low-code and no-code integrations are being implemented to support them.

The Growing Need for Low-code and No-Code Solutions

Modern, data-driven business has put greater pressure on organizations to be agile and responsive to market disruption. 

As such, traditional software development processes requiring internal or partner development resources are now being flanked by no-code and low-code solutions. 

It’s a natural progression of an increasingly tech-savvy workforce, as companies recognize the benefits of democratizing IT functions.

With low-code and no-code solutions, organizations can save money on development costs and reduce time-to-market for new software releases and implementation. 

Gartner predicts that by 2024 80% of technology products and services will be built by those without traditional development experience. 

What is Low-code and No-code Development?

Low-code and no-code development is an innovative approach organizations can employ to build robust software apps without in-depth coding knowledge or resources.

Instead of relying on traditional, command-line interfaces (CLI), low-code and no-code solutions leverage a graphical user interface (GUI) to design and develop applications via drag-and-drop input. 

Intuitive and user-friendly GUIs have a much lower barrier to entry than traditional CLIs, and so adoption has been widespread. Low-code and no-code solutions have extended this principle into development applications themselves.

Supported by a GUI, low-code development involves minimal manual coding from the user, with no-code involving none at all. 

The low-code/no-code approach empowers non-tech professionals to build apps. It also saves time for expert developers since the GUI handles much of the time-consuming development aspects.

Popular enterprise applications like ServiceNow provide low-code/no-code solutions, offering organizations a more flexible option for application development, less reliant on expertise. 

Benefits of Low-code and No-code Solutions

Low-code/no-code solutions offer numerous benefits to enterprises:

1. Speed

Thanks to intuitive GUIs, simple integration tools, and one-click delivery features, low-code and no-code development accelerates the development process, ensuring faster time-to-markets.

2. Agility

Shortening the development to deployment time helps organizations become more agile. Developers can use their time more productively to take advantage of emerging market opportunities. They can develop and launch new products aligned with the current trends and customer demands.

3. Cost efficiency 

Hiring tech experts and training recruits add to a company’s expenses. Low-code/no-code solutions eliminate the need for maintaining a massive pool of developers. Non-tech staff can use the pre-built functionalities of low-code platforms to design and deploy apps. This inevitably reduces costs, promising higher ROIs.

4. No need for additional resources

Low-code/no-code solutions reduce manual coding and development time. So, developers can focus on innovating new products quicker and addressing customer demands promptly. Organizations with limited development resources can integrate low-code/no-code platforms into their development stack to gain a competitive edge. You don’t need additional tools or dedicated tech teams for development. 

5. An increased scope for collaboration

Low code makes collaboration across departments and skill sets much easier by bringing citizen developers into the loop. Everyone on the platform can see which tasks are ongoing and who is performing which activities.

No-code Integrations for ServiceNow

Many organizations reap the benefits of ServiceNow’s low-code platform for faster app development. Usually, enterprises use the platform since they lack the necessary development resources or budget to do specific development operations.

Over time, they also integrate other tools and apps into the ServiceNow platform. That’s when they need a powerful no-code integration solution that perfectly complements ServiceNow’s low-code nature. 

Perspectium is an excellent no-code solution and service for ServiceNow integrations. A true Integration-as-a-Service, Perspectium integrations are implemented, managed and maintained by Perspectium’s experts. This sets them apart from Integration Platforms-as-a-Service (iPaaS), where organizations buy pre-built integration platforms, but often need internal development resources to implement and maintain them.

As a ServiceNow-native application, Perspectium is as user-friendly as ServiceNow itself, as Perspectium applications operate from within the ServiceNow platform users are already familiar with.

And unlike most other ServiceNow integrations on the market, Perspectium can move massive data volumes in bulk, without causing performance degradation to ServiceNow.
