Quick Take:<\/strong> New survey data shows that IT teams are increasingly overwhelmed by in-house demands. As a generation of digital natives from non-technical backgrounds becomes accustomed to low-code tools, however, IT leaders are warming up to the idea of allowing them to become the creators of new apps and experiences. The result could usher in a new era of innovation, speed, and collaboration in application development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salesforce has long believed<\/a> that tapping into the power of designers, business analysts, and other business users is a key step toward breaking the growing logjam of IT backlogs. The rise of low-code development<\/a> \u2014  represented by drag and drop tools, pre-packaged code, and reusable components \u2014 is now making it possible. With these tools, a wide diversity of creators can build the apps and experiences they need to do their jobs, and meet customer expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To better understand this landscape, Salesforce surveyed IT leaders in the United States with responsibility for application development to gauge how the pandemic has impacted demand for new apps and experiences. Salesforce also sought to find out whether these IT leaders viewed low-code development tools \u2014 and critically, their use by non-IT creators \u2014 as a solution to offset IT demand moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic upped the digital ante for businesses \u2014 and IT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Previous research<\/a> of consumers and business buyers found that expectations for digital experiences soared as end users migrated more and more of their personal and professional lives online during the pandemic. While the pace of digital change has increased since 2020, it also represents a trend that has been in process for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IT leaders are seeing the ramifications of these trends in both the demand for and impact of their work.<\/p>\n\n\n
