Why Low Code, Why Now?

Join a growing movement of civil servants and digital leaders who are driving innovation, empowering teams, modernising services, and unlocking productivity through low code platforms.

 

Across the UK government, low code platforms like Microsoft Power Platform are enabling non-technical teams to build digital tools, automate processes, and deploy AI-enhanced solutions faster than ever before. As departments and arm’s-length bodies respond to the administration’s call to adopt AI faster, drive efficiency, and enhance digital skills, many are turning to low code solutions as a key enabler of public service modernisation.

Testament to this uptake, the Cross-Government Low Code Community of Practice (CoP) service manual page was launched in February this year making it one of 25 official government digital and data communities, ‘where members can share knowledge, best practices, and innovative solutions related to…the effective use of low code platforms to solve real world challenges.’

Hitachi Solutions is sponsoring the first community-commissioned event for prospective low code community members; civil servants and digital leaders working in UK government who are keen explore how to leverage low code technologies to accelerate digital transformation, boost productivity, and enhance public sector delivery. This is a great opportunity to shape the development and implementation of a low code strategy across the UK Government and learn from industry peers like Defra, MoJ and ONS.
