Leigh Michl, CEO of Ultimus shares his thoughts on Analysis.Tech research.

• In this episode of the Lowdown on Low-Code, Rob Koplowitz, Ryan Duguid, and John Rymer sit down with Rick Greenwald to discuss the concept of evaluative research in technology purchasing. They explore how evaluative research helps buyers navigate complex decisions, the role of analysts in shaping vendor perceptions, and the implications of crowdsourced feedback. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding individual needs when making purchasing decisions and introduces a new approach to evaluative research being developed at Analysis.Tech, aimed at providing tailored insights and up-to-date information for buyers. Takeaways • Evaluative research is designed to help buyers make complex decisions. • Analysts provide insights but buyers often simplify their findings. • Crowdsourced feedback can be valuable but lacks nuance. • Understanding your needs is crucial for effective decision-making. • There is no universal leader in the market, only leaders for specific needs. • The evaluative research process must adapt to rapid market changes. • Feedback from users is essential for refining evaluative research. • A tailored approach to evaluative research can enhance buyer experience. • The importance of collaboration between vendors and analysts is emphasized. • Future evaluative research will focus on real-time updates and broader vendor inclusion.

Tune in to hear John Rymer and Ryan Duguid explore the main takeaways from our recent research on low-code and vendor lock-in. They explore how businesses can leverage low-code platforms while managing dependency risks, offering fresh perspectives on an age-old debate. Whether you’re a tech leader or a curious listener, this conversation provides a practical look at the state of low-code today and why the benefits of rapid innovation outweigh the concerns of committing to a leading vendor.

Rob and Ryan discuss how AI will enhance low-code, not kill it.

John gives a brief introduction to a maturity model for low-code adoption, a tool we hope will help enterprises calibrate their journeys to digital transformation.
