Baselining Low Code Automation For Your Enterprise
Deepak Subbarao -
Digital Transformation Lead,
Zurich Insurance Group
A regulation is based in law- compliance must occur. A standard is based in simplicity by unity- if it’s done collectively by the composite, it will be easier for all included. Best practice is elusive with no governing body suggesting it, how can any practitioner be sure of its truth. And so best practice usually is bespoke. For x kind of enterprise, or y kind of team- best practice is alpha. When offered such customization, the only means with which to find custom best practice is through baselining.

Bridging the gap: How Developer Shortfalls Are Revolutionizing Automation
Manish Rai -
Head of Product Marketing,
Appian Corporation
The demand for automation is outpacing delivery and will continue to do so. Analyst firm IDC predicts that by 2024, “45% of staff in organizations with 1,000+ people will have some development or automation duty, making them the fastest growing employee type.” The combination of low-code automation and a fundamental shift in how people think about processes is revolutionizing how organizations deliver automation.
Attendees will learn how to:
- Build a broad low-code automation toolkit to handle any end-to-end business process
- Move beyond task automation to deliver automation applications
- Institute the right organization, governance model, and process for automation

Bringing Business & IT Together With Low-code
Tejas Gadhia -
Technology Evangelist,
Zoho
Drew Maginnis - Director of Operations, Field IT, QualTek
For most enterprises, business and IT are misaligned. Business teams need applications, but IT, despite trying their best, just can't meet those needs quickly enough. Due to the lack of resources and traditional tools that require more development time. This creates a backlog of business-critical applications to be developed, and with new technologies emerging every day, it's even tougher for IT to deliver the best solution for the problem at hand.
The session realizes that:
- Low-code platforms are 10X faster than traditional application development because of their highly-abstracted nature.
- IT teams can focus on complex requirements while retaining control over business teams and the apps they build.
- Since low-code enables building apps visually, business users can bring clarity of vision to all stakeholders involved, right from the beginning.

Matthias Steffens - Director, Finance Operations, Zume
Financial organizations are increasingly building their own software solutions, rather than buying off-the-shelf or outsourcing to development shops. And for good reason: The cost, time, complexity and risk barriers to producing custom business software have fallen dramatically. In this panel discussion Zume, Inc. and Pipefy will discuss current trends in FinOps and how citizen developers are designing and deploying their own custom finance workflow processes on no-code/low-code platforms. Zume, Inc. will also share their own FinOps evolution from chaos to calm, as they took their own no-code approach to solving problems in their finance organization.
