Kissflow, a user-friendly low-code platform, has earned recognition as a Sample Vendor for Citizen Developers technology in three significant Gartner® Hype Cycle™ reports for 2024. The reports include:
1. Hype Cycle for the Future of Work, 2024
2. Hype Cycle for Workforce Transformation, 2024
3. Hype Cycle for Digital Workplace Applications, 2024
Gartner’s Hype Cycles visually depict the maturity and adoption of various technologies and applications, highlighting their potential relevance in addressing real business challenges and seizing new opportunities. The term “Citizen Developers” refers to employees outside of the IT department who leverage corporate-sanctioned tools to create or enhance technology capabilities, rather than resorting to shadow IT.
Dinesh Varadharajan, CPO of Kissflow, expressed pride in the company’s dual recognition, stating, “We are honored to be acknowledged as a Sample Vendor for Citizen Developers technology for the second consecutive year in both the Hype Cycle for Workforce Transformation and the Hype Cycle for Digital Workplace Applications reports.”
The Kissflow platform, equipped with a no-code design, a patented rules engine, and a robust governance module, meets all criteria for facilitating genuine citizen development. Varadharajan emphasized, “This recognition underscores our commitment to democratizing application development for business users while empowering IT to govern citizen development.”
