Platform governance
Separate environments, data policies and a review step before any application reaches production.
Industry context
Low-code and no-code platforms in manufacturing
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.
Manufacturers depend on plant uptime and safety interlocks, with suppliers spread across several countries. Plant engineers, quality teams and IT/OT owners need changes planned around production schedules and maintenance shutdowns. 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.
After stabilisation we hand over to your teams or keep running the service with you.
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 plant management and quality and safety committees ask for.
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.
Industrial and security standards
Where plant systems are involved we design to OT security practice such as IEC 62443 and to national controls such as the UAE Information Assurance Regulation or NCA OTCC in Saudi Arabia, and keep quality records in the form your ISO 9001 or sector auditors review.
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 current state of plant and supplier data has been reviewed, even if it is incomplete.
- 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.
