What is low-code automation?

Low-code automation is a software development approach that uses visual interfaces and pre-built components to enable the rapid creation and deployment of applications and workflows. It allows users with little or no coding experience to build applications and automate business processes quickly and easily.

Low-code automation helps simplify the software application development process, allowing users to focus on business logic and governance rather than the underlying code. This approach can help organizations reduce development time, increase productivity, and improve collaboration between business and IT teams.

Why is low-code automation important?
