Low-code platforms are revolutionizing the way organizations develop applications by allowing non-technical users to create custom solutions, Liferay, developer of the most flexible digital experience platform on the market, presents the benefits of low-code, in its participation in 10th America Digital Latin America Congress 2025.

Until recently, organizations relied heavily on IT staff to develop systems for their customers and service teams. With the arrival of Low-code and No-code platforms, based on drag-and-drop visual tools, non-technical business users can now optimize processes quickly and efficiently, without the need for direct support from IT teams.  

According to Gartner, it is estimated that by 2025, “70% of new applications developed by organizations will use low-code or no-code technologies, a big jump compared to less than 25% that already did so in 2020.” Additionally, 26% of managers think that investing in low-code capabilities is one of the most strategic decisions in terms of automation, a notable increase from 10% in 2020. 

Matheus Monteiro, Solutions Architect at Liferay, presents the low-code trends that will define the future of digital experiences during the 10th America Digital Latin America Congress of AI, Business & Tech 2025, to be held on April 2 and 3. 

Liferay is the most flexible digital experience platform on the market and has low-code functionalities to support large companies in their customer portal, intranet, ecommerce and business website projects.

Monteiro will be presenting the conference Redefining strategies with Low-Code: less code, more collaboration and better results in the IA & Digital Transformation Forum of the congress, in which the executive will show why low-code platforms are the new frontier to generate business value. You will also be able to visit booth A29 on the exhibition floor, where you will learn more about low-code solutions.

Among the benefits of low-code are:

1. Save time and resources: According to a Forrester report, companies that use low-code or no-code platforms have reported savings of up to 70% in development costs. By reducing the need for large teams of developers or outsourcing, companies not only reduce their operating costs, but also streamline the development process.
2. Driving innovation: Low-code enables rapid prototyping and proof-of-concept creation, making it easier to validate ideas, gather feedback, and fine-tune designs before committing resources to full-scale development.

3. Process automation: In the search for efficiency, automating repetitive manual tasks is essential. With low code platforms, non-technical users can design and implement automations that improve the efficiency of business processes and operations.

4. Empower business teams: Teams such as Marketing, Human Resources, Sales and Customer Service can create their own applications without depending on the IT area. While traditional development requires long lead times as well as specialized skills and knowledge, low-code capabilities speed the process through visual interfaces and intuitive workflows. These “configuration” tools allow non-technical users the ability to create a custom application, tailoring different aspects with pre-coded modules, forms, objects, workflows, and design patterns.

5. Risk reduction: During the development stage, low-code solutions can also help mitigate risks by providing a controlled environment with pre-tested components and standardized processes. Not only does this decrease the likelihood of human coding errors, but the right solution can also reduce the risk of data breaches by ensuring more secure and accurate development.

Low-code is not just a trend, but a strategic pillar of digital transformation. Thanks to intuitive tools and drag and drop functionalities, innovation is not only in the hands of IT teams, but can be led by every department in the company. “Citizen developers”, that is, professionals who do not have technical knowledge, have the ability today to create and customize digital solutions, addressing specific needs autonomously and reducing their dependence on the IT department. 

This approach facilitates access to complex processes, involving the entire organization in the path of digital transformation. Democratizing IT processes doesn’t just mean distributing tools, but creating an inclusive company culture where every voice can drive innovation and accelerate change.
