As business analysts we often hear the business complain about the IT department and their solutions. The IT department, for example, is often found to be unresponsive enough, whereas their solutions often don't capture the actual complexity of a problem. On the other hand, we hear the IT department complain about a continuously increasing workload. Using the capabilities of Model Driven Engineering, the realization of software using modeling tools alone, we enable both parties to focus on their own domain, decreasing the gap between them.​ In this topic we will discuss how case management, business process management and decision management can be applied effectively in low code platforms to enable the business to define and maintain their business logic and how to enthuse the IT department about such platforms.
