Citizen Application Development Platforms

Citizen Application Development Platforms Reviews and Ratings

What are Citizen Application Development Platforms?

Gartner defines the market for citizen application development platforms (CADP) as consisting of products that enable citizen developers to create and maintain simple, noncritical applications. The application capabilities include web and mobile forms, application integrations, workflow automation and data visualization.

CADPs are pivotal for democratizing IT initiatives and establishing shared ownership of application delivery between business and IT. CADPs empower individuals and teams to enhance productivity by enabling the creation of tailored applications without extensive coding expertise. These platforms allow “citizen developers” to build single-use applications that address specific, immediate needs, often with limited life spans. This facilitates rapid problem solving and process optimization, reducing reliance on IT departments.
