High-productivity platforms employ a visual, model-driven approach that enables a broader range of individuals, including citizen developers, to build and deploy apps. This approach is proven to reduce time to value and lower development costs while offloading overburdened IT development organizations. The tradeoff, though, is often perceived to be a lack of control. But it doesn’t have to be that way. It’s possible to have both high productivity and high control capabilities in a single application development platform.
