Since technology became an important part of the companies, there has been a kind of "war" between the IT team and the rest of the teams, since they speak different languages, and each one sees things differently. Each department or person from different areas understand the processes of a company differently, they see it from the perspective of their knowledge and interests. However, the gap between IT and the Rest is bigger than the one between Product and Marketing or Marketing and Sales. This has diminished technological innovation, since the construction of applications to improve the performance of the company in general, is hampered by the lack of understanding between all parties involved.

That the IT Team develops solutions with the rest of the teams is a reality, not a fantasy.

The problem lies, as we mentioned at the beginning, in the language, the IT team is used to speak through code and the result of it, the rest of the teams are more visual and less of great amounts of text, it is as if you put to speak a Japanese with a German, there are no common elements between both languages, it will be difficult to understand them, they end up being understood a little with sign language, which is what happens in the company, so in the end the result of the development leaves IT satisfied but not who is going to use the application.

Web development has been mutating, and some solutions are entirely visual, but offer little flexibility and integration, programmers do not like working with these platforms because they see little value, the rest of the teams try to use them, but quickly find that they do not allow them to build everything they need.

That is why the best solution is the hybrid model of a Low Code platform, which combines both code and visual languages. The overall application landscape is built with visual elements that both developers and other staff can understand and manipulate. This way communication flows and the tools needed are built.

Building through visual elements facilitates learning, because a person outside the code does not have to face endless lines that do not understand, but with visual objects is easy to understand the workflow of an application, and can also give improvements or solutions to errors by understanding the logic of operation. Since

building visually allows us to detect where the errors are and correct them without affecting the code completely.

With Low Code, you develop as if you were stacking blocks, each block can be completely customized, and non-IT teams can easily learn how to modify each section of the application and contribute to making the developer's work easier.

The ultimate goal of Low Code is that anyone can create applications; standardizing a language, that everyone can understand.

This Visual Language eliminates the barriers between different teams so that communication is improved and the construction of applications is impregnated with the visions of each party. Thus, the innovation that is built will respond to the needs of the company and what the users of the same need to develop in their daily work.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
