About

The Low Code Solutions service and low code/no code platforms enable UW-Madison administrators, application managers and software development teams to build applications of varying complexities. The goal is to increase business and developer productivity and deliver apps with high-performance low code or no code. The low code or no code platforms will support a wide range of application use cases, from transactional apps for business to consumers (B2C) to business workflows and system integrations.

The UW-Madison’s low code platform, Betty Blocks, is a stand-alone application development platform intended to empower the collaboration of non-IT, business centric staff with professional software developers to build applications of various scale and complexity. The UW-Madison’s no code platform, Kuali Build, is a stand-alone application development platform intended to empower campus administrators (non-IT, business centric staff) to build single form applications with simple or divergent workflows. The scale will be local, department only, campus-wide, and system-wide applications (Betty Blocks only), and the use case complexity will span from simple form automations to business workflows, to transactional apps for business to consumers.

Advisory board – strategic outlook

The Low Code Solutions advisory board includes representatives from across campus to help ensure the success and utility of this service campus wide. These representatives will assist in driving product usage and connecting stakeholders with Betty Blocks and Kuali Build as a possible solutions to their needs. Additionally, they will work hand in hand with the Low Code Solutions service team to ensure that the service is broadly accessible and can meet use cases across campus.
