Low-code and no-code platforms in government and the public sector

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.

Government entities work to national digital government standards, with Arabic-first services and public accountability for every change. Service owners, policy and planning departments and government IT need each decision recorded in a form that internal audit and the digital government authority can review. 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.

How the work is organised

From design to stable operation, with the evidence programme steering committees, internal audit and the digital government authority ask for.

  • Platform governance

    Separate environments, data policies and a review step before any application reaches production.

  • 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.

  • Digital government frameworks

    We align delivery with the standards of the authority that oversees your entity, such as TDRA and the UAE Information Assurance Regulation, or the Digital Government Authority and the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls in Saudi Arabia, and plan sign-in through UAE PASS or Nafath where services use them.

  • 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.

Checks before you start

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 data that may be shared with other entities has been agreed in writing.
  • 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.

Plan low-code and no-code platforms in government and the public sector

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.
