Acquisition of AppSheet by Google Impact on NoCode

“Google says Yes to No-code!!!”

Google purchased AppSheet, an eight year old no-code mobile application building platform. The valuation of the company was raised more than $17 million on a $60 million, according to Pitch Book data. Google announced that it will continue to support all the other platforms, even after the deal is completed.

Why Google acquired AppSheet?

            Google acquired AppSheet to deliver no-code development to Google Cloud. Google gets     a benefit for companies to create mobile apps without writing a single line of a code. It         works by fetching data from a database or form, and utilizing the field or column names            as the base for creating an app.

            It is joined with Google Cloud already by integrating with Google Forms and Google            Sheet. It also works with other tools involving Salesforce, AWS Dynamo DB, and others.           This acquisition will definitely assist companies and organizations empower millions of citizen’s developers. It will allow them to build and extend applications easily without    appointing or hiring a person with professional coding skills.

            There is an excellent scope to leverage and join more deeply with most of Google’s             amazing equity such as G Suite and Android to enhance the functionality, performance, and scale of AppSheet. Looking forward, we expect to combine AppSheet’s gist and           strengths with Google Cloud’s deep industry’s proficiency in verticals like retail, media, and entertainment, and financial services.

            Google looks to this acquisition as an approaching its enhancement philosophy using no-         code platforms along with workflow automation, API management, and application      integration. No-code tools such as AppSheet will not be able to replace a cosmopolitan developing       environment, but they will grant companies otherwise have a mobile app and the ability     to put some decent out there.

            Praveen Seshadri, CEO of AppSheet said, “With the growth of no-code platforms, citizen             development has aroused as the critical way for up-to-date organizations for investing,        innovating, and competing.”

            Google anticipates combining AppSheet’s ability to empower workplace applications like         field inspections, applications for CRM, and personalized services like retail and media. The AppSheet team will integrate with Cloud and endure to run its existing services,        supporting current as well as new customers.

            Google prefers No-code and acquires AppSheet. It goes no-code. Central command at         Google claims that this buying is designed to integrate Google Cloud’s approach to             reimagine the app development space with a platform that assists enterprises to introduce         with no-code development, application integration, workflow automation, and      Application Programming Interface (API) management.

Google’s Acquisition of AppSheet manifest the strength of No-code Movement

            This move of acquisition ultimately serves as further authentication of the applicability of           the no-code movement that has gain momentum in the organizations for some day now.      Amit Zavery, a Google Cloud’s Vice President and Head of Platform said, “This      acquisition needs for fast processes and automation in current competitive world where it            demands more business applications to be created with great speed and efficiency.”

            Platforms like AppSheet endure to meet that requirement, and attract them big IT             companies like Google’s is not astonishing.

            This acquisition and the interest, still, also discard light on a requirement within             companies that is however unmet. The customizable solutions that counterpart and             amplify the packaged applications upon which most missions, critical internal systems           and processes designed are required. The fact that those applications we are using today     including no-code apps however cannot do that has been agonizing problem.

• Google’s acquisition of AppSheet prefers no-code to show that no-code is no longer an ambition. It is true, happening, non-techies can build apps easily. The big five companies in tech invested in building solutions with no-code.
• No-code diminishes the barriers in building apps, especially for non-technical that have little or no understanding of coding. As a result, no-code is preferred by big companies.
• All the developers are excited to use tools and technologies readily available for monetizing innovative ideas, with solutions built without any coding. No-code development platforms are getting the Centre-stage opposite to other platforms slower than no-code.
•  The no-code fever surely hits a new high and following Google’s acquisition of the no-code platform. It will help citizen developers and an excellent potential to reimagine business transformation with innovative applications.

This contains data points that are explaining the nature of the problem, reasons why no-code platforms abstain, and the no-code platforms that can solve them.

1. The Last Mile Problem

A technological gap is created and needed employees to finish lots of manual, mind-numbing working around to complete every process. The reason behind it is the trouble with the apps that organizations use to drive internal processes like ERP, CRM, ticketing systems, etc. They do not constitutionally interact with each other. This problem is called “The Last Mile Problem” in business.

• No-code solutions trying to solve The Last Mile Problem

The increasing awareness along with increased suffering from The Last Mile Problem is driving the requirement to be created custom solutions in an easier and faster way by closely aligning to the business needs. No-code solutions try meeting these needs and demands by putting app-making power in the hands of business teams.

• No-code movement are solutions that build apps as well as automation

Alternatively, we require software solutions that are capable of accommodating and molding themselves around user behavior. We require automation platforms that can meet users where they carry out work without asking to switch or toggle between the systems they are not using. In other words, no-code solutions are needed to go beyond apps to put the people in the first place.

• This will be the succeeding large development in the no-code movement

No-code enables users to create apps to empower them to build automated workflows. This will emerge only proven way to solve the problem.

Many have blamed and criticized “no-code” tools. They even called them trade-offs. Many have doubted about hitting the ceiling of no-code platforms. But the firms and enterprises having engineering teams are going for no-code tools because it grants rapid time-to-market and is comparatively easy to maintain.
