Pegasystems announced new Pega Platform templates and services to make it easier for citizen developers to create low-code applications.

By accelerating the adoption of low code across all types of business users, these tools can significantly reduce IT backlogs while limiting risk through effective governance.

Pega’s low-code factory approach empowers citizen developers by combining a no-code development environment with technology-supported governance that automates the enforcement of best practices, while providing IT leaders the tools to foster innovation while ensuring security, scalability, and maintainability.

To further support citizen development, Pega introduced the following new features and services:

- Application templates for simplified, intelligent workflows: Citizen developers need an environment to easily, quickly, and safely build applications. To accelerate time to value, Pega introduced new application templates for Pega App Factory that automate common business processes like information collection, requests and approvals management, personnel onboarding, and task management. With these easy-to-use, no-code-required templates, citizen developers can build intelligent workflows quickly, securely, and without the need for direct intervention by professional developers.

- Low-code Factory Accelerator: Pega Consulting Services will collaborate with clients to build citizen development programs. Available in Q3 2022, the Low-code Factory Accelerator will help establish a sustainable, technology-assisted operating model leveraging Pega’s Low-code Factory approach, including training for practice managers, coaching citizen developers to build applications, and creating roadmaps for reusable integrations and shared components. Organizations will gain a strong foundation for citizen development backed by governance, trust, and security through alignment between business and IT.

Enterprises can use these new features and education courses to work with citizen developers to further their education and kickstart their app development and innovation.
