Is Low-Code a Good Approach for Telecom BSS?
Time-to-Market
TRADITIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Uses hand-coding which is slow to launch, slow to change and expensive to support
LOW-CODE DEVELOPMENT
Applications are visually composed, making them far quicker to launch and expand. User interfaces, business processes, logic and data model are customized in a visual environment
Scope
TRADITIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Build all applications at once, and then hire outside consultants to make changes, as requirements change
LOW-CODE DEVELOPMENT
Build one app at a time. Then change when needed, using your own teams. Many platforms even allow you to add your own code
Rapid Application
Development
TRADITIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Not equipped for turning around apps as quickly as the business demands, or making updates and changes
LOW-CODE DEVELOPMENT
Build applications and make updates fast. Configuration is done in a visual environment using drag and drop functionality and visual tools
Integration
TRADITIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Requires lots of time and money spent writing custom APIS to connect legacy systems or C# or Java apps
LOW-CODE DEVELOPMENT
Integration is much simpler and done in a visual environment. Many low-code companies have prebuilt connectors to integrate legacy systems, and allow REST APIs and SOAP Web Services
Process Management
TRADITIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Employees often don’t know how processes work or how to update them. Plus, once app is built, need expensive professional services contract to update processes
LOW-CODE DEVELOPMENT
Many platforms include BPM, making it easy to update processes. Plus, there’s no knowledge loss, when employees leave
Deployment
TRADITIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Deployment is a headache, with multiple steps. Requires development resources
LOW-CODE DEVELOPMENT
Streamlined deployment, often with one touch. Deploy to cloud and on-premise. Some platforms offer advanced version controls.
