“Scaling Automation with Citizen Developers and Pega’s Low-Code Platform”

Abstract

Low-code platforms have revolutionized Business Process Management (BPM) by enabling non-technical users, often referred to as citizen developers, to design and implement automation workflows without extensive programming knowledge. Pega’s low-code platform exemplifies this transformation by providing intuitive tools that democratize BPM across diverse organizational structures. This article explores how citizen developers leverage Pega’s low-code capabilities to accelerate digital transformation initiatives, fostering innovation and significantly reducing development timelines. Through a comprehensive analysis of case studies and empirical data, the study demonstrates that empowering non-technical personnel not only enhances operational efficiency but also promotes a culture of continuous improvement and adaptability. The findings indicate that organizations adopting Pega’s low-code platform experience enhanced collaboration between IT and business units, leading to more agile and responsive business processes. Additionally, the reduction in dependency on specialized developers allows for scalable solutions that can be rapidly adjusted to meet evolving business demands. This democratization of BPM through low-code development is posited as a critical enabler for organizations aiming to stay competitive in the fast-paced digital landscape. The article concludes by discussing the implications for future BPM strategies and the potential for broader adoption of low-code platforms in various industry sectors.
