Synopsis and overview of the session
The skills shortage is a reality felt throughout many different industries, but it’s undeniable that for Australians it’s been a rising challenge within the technology sector. The Tech Council of Australia identified that vacancy rates in tech are 60% higher than the national average, with the most severe gaps featured in technical occupations like software programmers and computer network professionals. This is a grim scenario for companies that need to develop and deliver critical applications to achieve their business goals.
Low-code application development flatforms, such as Mendix, can help organisations continue their digital transformation journey despite the shortage in full-fledged IT professionals, empowering developers and business domain experts to build software applications and meet customers’ needs with enhanced ease and speed.
Focus Network in partnership with Mendix invite you to join this exclusive lunch gathering of IT and Digital Leaders, where we will delve deeper into areas such as:
- Proven approaches to accelerate application innovation with limited tech/IT resources
- Typical low-code use cases that are applicable to your industry
- How to integrate low-code application development with legacy systems, without disrupting modernisation initiatives.
