In the past, conventionalsoftware developers used hand-coding to build and deploy enterpriseapplications, a slow process that couldtake weeks or even months to complete.
But that's not the case anymore. Nope, low-codeplatforms have turbocharged the app development process, with user-friendlyinterfaces that allow even non-tech business users to create fully-functional, enterprise apps in minutes.

In fact,low-codeallowsyouto build enterprise-grade business apps 10x faster than everbefore.
But here'sthe question. In the hyper-connected digital economy, are you prepared to compete and win? Are your back office systemsresponsive enough to keep pace with fast-changing customer expectations? Agileenoughto outmaneuver competitors, and capitalizeon fast-moving business opportunities?
Yes,low code isyour best path to digital transformationsuccess. Effortless customer interactions. Accelerated app development. And smooth,back office operations. But this is a #Funtime Friday post. So, let's break down this low code postwith a funky musical groove.
Back in the day... in the groovy Sixties...a West Coast band, called Tower of Power revolutionized pop music with a brash(as in excellent), horn-section that put a funkygroove in the Rock and Roll beat. One of their biggest hits was a smash hitcalled "What is Hip?"
