Platform governance
Separate environments, data policies and a review step before any application reaches production.
Industry context
Low-code and no-code platforms in education
We set up low-code and no-code platforms so business teams can build applications quickly, inside rules IT can support.
Low-code work is about governed citizen development: environments, data access, review steps and support once an application is in use. We set up the platform and its rules, build the first applications with your teams and train the people who will build the next ones.
Schools and universities plan around the academic calendar, with admissions, exams and term breaks deciding when change is possible, and they answer to regulators such as KHDA in Dubai, ADEK in Abu Dhabi and the Ministry of Education in Saudi Arabia. Academic leaders and campus IT need to agree each change, so we time go-live between terms wherever possible. Applications built by business teams still handle personal and government data, so data residency, the UAE PDPL, the Saudi PDPL and the security controls your regulator expects apply to them as to any other system.
We hand over with runbooks and training, and can stay on under agreed service levels.
Alongside sector regulation, we often map delivery evidence to cross-industry baselines such as the UAE Information Assurance Regulation issued by TDRA, the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls in Saudi Arabia and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which many risk reviewers already use.
What we deliver
Specialists in education and platform engineers, with you from design to stable operation.
First applications
A first set of applications built with business teams on real processes.
Builder enablement
Training, templates and a support model for staff who build applications outside IT.
Education regulators and data
We plan reporting and data handling around the requirements of your regulator, such as KHDA in Dubai, ADEK in Abu Dhabi or the UAE Ministry of Education, or the Saudi Ministry of Education, and the personal data law that applies in each market.
Application lifecycle
Versioning, testing and promotion between environments, so changes made by business teams can be traced.
Integration and data access
Approved connectors to core systems, with data access granted by role rather than by builder.
What to have in place first
A low-code programme is ready to start when IT and the business agree who may build, and there is a backlog of small processes waiting for an application.
- The academic or administrative owner of each process in scope has been named.
- IT and the business have agreed who may build applications and which data they may use.
- A first list of processes to build has been drawn up with business owners.

Share your current systems, compliance themes and timeline. We will return a phased plan, a staffing model and a risk register for your stakeholders to review.
