Surviving the Global IT shortage
How Beesion uses smart, non-developers to build telecom applications with its Low-Code Platform
SITUATION:
GROWING DEMAND FOR LOW-CODE, THANKS TO GLOBAL IT SHORTAGE
Beesion Technologies, LLC is an innovative technology company that pioneered a suite of 30 low-code software applications for the telecommunications industry. The suite isn’t built using traditional software development. Instead, it relies on a unique set of modules – with pre-built functionality – that are combined, expanded, and reused to create software applications.
Applications are then customized and integrated in runtime, using visual tools and “in memory” configuration, requiring little to no custom code. In fact, the software suite may be the first low-code Business Support System. It’s used in more than 20 countries.
Beesion’s Low-Code Telecom Software
Up to 95% of every application is pre-built with existing modules, and customized primarily with run-time
configuration. About 5% of the customization requires coding.
SOLUTION:
CREATE THE YOUNG PROFESSIONALS PROGRAM WITH SMART, YOUNG ENGINEERS
The company realized that its low-code telecom software didn’t require the traditional software developer, with a background in coding. Instead, it could find talented young professionals from different disciplines – electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, business administration, and others – and teach them the principles of Beesion’s low-code technology, called Swarm. Thus, the Young Professionals Program was born.
Beesion identified the types of skills that most lead to success, and began recruiting graduates – 23-29 years of age – had exceptional analysis abilities and a strong background in technical or business disciplines. Many are pursuing post-graduate degrees.
The company also recruited engineers from multiple Latin American countries to increase the diversity of ideas.

RESULTS:
A STRONG WORKFORCE THAT LOVES THEIR JOBS, AND CAN CONFIGURE SOFTWARE
Since the program started in February, it has trained 26 Young Professionals in Argentina and Spain, that now work on the same level as junior development engineers for the company.

feel they have been trained well, and can configure applications for Beesion’s low-code telecom software.
Their different cultures also contribute to a very dynamic, multicultural environment.
A young professional, Víctor Sáinz, joined the program in Spain, and is now working on a point-of-sale application demo, and a pre-paid recharging demo. Prior to Beesion, he had no coding or software development experience. His education was in business administration, and had several internships in Italy and Spain.
