For most organizations, lines of business and IT teams face challenges that can be described in one of two ways. Either IT tries its best but just can't meet all the business' needs fast enough, or the solutions that IT delivers lack nuance and intuitiveness because they were built by people removed from the day-to-day reality of the processes themselves.

The best low-code platforms bridge this gap and provide a win-win scenario for all parties:
- Citizen developers move from unmanaged tools like Excel to managed low-code platforms
- IT teams gain visibility into solutions built by citizen developers and governance controls
- Citizen developers leverage their expertise of deep domain knowledge to create hyper-contextual applications.
