Companies can try to reduce it, or even avoid it, but there will be a certain number of dependencies within your operation. This could be processes, ingredients, inventory, or departments and employees. The reason why companies make an effort to avoid dependencies of any kind within their business. This is due to the issues associated with dependencies. In this post, we will be looking at a specific dependency that is prevalent in several businesses operating in the current business environment: IT dependency.
Depending on the size of your company, an IT dependency can be in the form of an IT department or employee. Before going further, you may be wondering, what is IT dependency? IT dependency refers to a reliance on IT processes to conduct other business functions. For example, requiring an IT employee to assign digital work orders to remote, or external employees. From the example, we can see why companies want to avoid IT dependency.
With an understanding of what IT dependency is we can begin to understand the problems that will arise with this form of dependency. One of the major issues associated with IT dependency is the lack of efficiency. When several business processes hinge on your IT employee, or department, operating efficiently than your other departments can’t be operating at their full potential. Obstructing other departments, or employees, from operating at their full potential will result in the company stagnating, with extreme cases resulting in company closure.
The solution to IT dependency
Understanding the seriousness of the consequences of IT dependency has resulted in companies looking for solutions. One of the key systems that continuously comes up when looking to reduce a company’s reliance on their IT department is a no-code platform. But how exactly does a no-code platform reduce a company’s dependency on IT departments? Let’s look at the benefits this system provides.
- Firstly, a no-code platform, as the name suggests, does not require any coding to create applications. The application process all occurs through a step by step, drag, and drop process. This means that all users can create applications within the business. A key benefit if your company wants to digitally transform processes without relying on IT employers or developers.
- No-code platforms are not only easy to use for all employees, but they can also integrate with your current legacy ERP system. This means that even if your company has a system in place, a no-code system can still be installed to supplement your current ERP system.
- No-code platforms are operable on web and mobile platforms. This means that your employees can use their smartphones to access and upload information. This will allow departments to become more efficient and not rely on IT employees when executing their duties.
- No-code platforms are cost-effective, in small and medium companies, having a dedicated IT department can be costly. With several no-code platforms becoming more cost-effective, companies can save money and empower employees with a no-code platform.
Conclusion
Rather than having to rely on departments resulting in inefficiency, your company can now implement a no-code platform and gain the benefits provided, such as increased empowerment and productivity.
