INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS:
Avrohom:
Low-code No-code is a new term in today's software development world, and everyone is talking about it as if it's the next greatest thing. What is low-code no-code and why is it so helpful?
Himanshu:
As an industry, we are at an inflection point where we must prepare our businesses to adapt their code as rapidly as our customers shift their needs. Especially after the pandemic, everybody wants to go to the digital transformation and make changes happen, without realizing that the fundamentals have shifted. We need more problem finders than we have the solvers in the equation, right now. And, hence the need today is to go ahead and get the right need for this transformation, and that's exactly where these low-code no-code platforms come in. These platforms come in because they can visually aid the application development. They can bring a lot of acceleration with the pre-packaged templates, the pre-packaged workflows, the hyper-automation, and the integrations. And then, they can really increase the speed.
[03:07] Where does Infosys come to play, and how do you help your clients?
[04:27] I really liked the part about governance and cybersecurity. As you know, everyone is very conscious of their security needs, given the daily occurrences of data breaches at companies of all shapes and sizes. Can you elaborate on the cybersecurity aspects?
[09:21] What are 3 areas where we can leverage low-code no-code to move the needle in the software development industry?
[11:37] Himanshu, how can people connect with you?
[12:33] Do you have any parting words of wisdom that you’d like to share with the audience?
