What is a low-code BPM platform?

Low-code development is a way to build software applications faster by reducing the need to write code. For some time now, we have seen an increase in platforms categorised as “low-code/no-code” software. Why are they becoming so popular?
Low-code platforms are designed to empower business users to design, visualise, automate, and optimise processes without depending solely on expensive IT resources. They are gaining popularity because:
Of their flexibility and capability to automate complex processes in a very simple way
Enable businesses to scale faster by building business applications that solve business problems
Reduce the IT spend and empower the business users to enable change
Achieve and showcase quick ROI because of low IT investments and quick returns
Accelerate transformation with faster development cycles which run into weeks and years
