According to Gartner, a citizen developer is<\/span> an employee who creates applications for their own or others&#8217; use, using tools that are not actively prohibited by IT or business units.

Cybersecurity concerns, as well as the cost and training required for employees to maximize the value of these platforms or applications, are also top of all concerns. As with any business investment, executives want to be sure that they are generating a meaningful return. The decision to adopt a new development platform will impact people and processes across the organization \u2013 a restructuring that needs to be duly considered and truly wanted by everyone before it is implemented.     <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\">\n<p><span lang=\"DE-DE\" data-contrast=\"auto\">Once implemented, the results quickly speak for themselves and set in motion a cycle of innovation \u2013 but the initial investment proves to be an obstacle.
