Key Findings
• None of the solutions investigated were fully NO-CODE
• The reality is no SaaS solution can provide the customized and bespoke solution for all business processes.
• These no code solutions could not be rolled out to individual departments without support from IT Services or a dedicated training programme.
• Microsoft Flow and PowerApps are gaining increasing functionality but FlowForma fills a gap
