When the global vaccine rollout began in December 2020, many organizations, public and private, projected a safe return to the office by late 2021.

Low-code is becoming an increasingly common tool for developers. IDC predicts that the global population of low-code developers will grow at three times the rate of the general developer population over the next four years.

Over the past decade, a technology revolution has led to the growth of smart manufacturing. This trend was enabled by the increased availability of cloud computing resources, rapid mobile device proliferation, and the adoption of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices.
