In many enterprises, the tasks of the Chief Information Officer (CIO) have fundamentally changed with the management and implementation of initiatives around digital transformation. Platforms based on a no-code principle are ideally suited for this purpose, relieving the CIO and his highly qualified IT department and freeing up new resources.
With a no-code solution, a CIO can take care of strategic functions and highly complex problems with his often overburdened IT department. In this two-part series, we explore the top 6 arguments in favor of no-code.

In a nutshell: What is no-code?
- On a no-code platform, processes are simplified to such an extent that neither developers nor data scientists are required, but the platform can be used by any employee with PC skills
- With no-code solutions, employees can validate business processes themselves or customize applications and workflows without any programming knowledge
- Only configure instead of programming: With no-code, it’s more about the “what” and less about the “how”
- No-code is not the same as low-code: Although the two terms are sometimes used as synonyms, in practice they are very different
- No-code is interesting for CIOs, among other things, because it frees up the IT department and can be used for complex tasks
What changes for companies with no-code?
A no-code solution benefits the CIO and the IT department on the one hand, but also many other employees and ultimately the entire company:
- The CIO can devote his full attention to planning and implementing the digital transformation
- The IT department can support the CIO with its expertise in specific and complex tasks
- Employees without programming skills do not constantly burden the IT department with trivialities
Parashift’s no-code solution transfers the power of document automation to the business user or the employee without programming skills. This plays into the CIO’s (and the company’s) cards tremendously.
Arguments #1 and #2 for a no-code solution
The first two arguments in favor of no-code solutions like Parashift’s in an enterprise are as follows:
Argument #1: Attractive for CIO, IT, and employees
The often overburdened IT department has less nitpicking to do, while employees without programming skills have access to solutions that were previously inaccessible. No-code is attractive to the CIO and IT department as well as employees alike.
Argument #2: State-of-the-art and easy-to-use user interface
The user interface of Parashift’s no-code solution is state-of-the-art, sophisticated and so easy to use that all users are familiar with the platform within minutes.
Part 2 follows with no-code arguments #3, #4, #5 and #6!
