“The tech sector is booming in Latin America” – Interview with Philip Hoegee, Global Head of Cloud Services at Connectis.

“The tech sector is booming in Latin America.  I see many companies going through unstoppable digital transformation in the region and we have decided to take this great opportunity at Web Summit Rio to introduce the No-Code Cloud platform” says Philip Hoegee, Global Head of Cloud Services at Connectis.

Connectis will be attending the Web Summit Rio, in Rio de Janeiro, which is being held for the first time in Latin America, and which will become a networking hub that will bring together investors, developers, communicators and entrepreneurs from all industries.

At the event, Connectis will present its Cloud platform as a services “No-Code Cloud”, which promises to be one of the main trends for 2023, according to the report on cloud-based services, published by Gartner in December 2022.

We have spoken with Philip Hoegee, to deepen the NCC and the advantages the platform offers.

What is No-Code Cloud?

NCC is the combination of two of the most important technological developments in recent years: the cloud and no-code solutions. It is intended for organizations that need to create enterprise-wide workflow automations, build new and enhance existing applications, and integrate with legacy and third-party systems.

The digital world is changing so quickly that it forces organizations to create and modernize their applications. The daily challenge is to update legacy software and thus incorporate new technologies, the evolution of programming languages, frameworks, and infrastructures.

What are the benefits of NCC?

Until now, the transformations depended on software developers creating tools to satisfy the needs -always in evolution- of the different areas of an organization. With NCC, the leaders of a multitude of industries can participate in the development of new digital solutions.

Just to mention some advantages:

– Allows you to speed up application development and workflow automation up to 10 times more than traditional technologies.

– Integrates seamlessly with legacy and third-party systems.

– Allows a flexible development adjusted to the specificities of the business.

– And it reduces the resources needed for development since by accelerating the process, companies can see the cost and return much faster.

What is the alliance between Connectis and WEM about?

Cloud is at the center of any digital transformation strategy today and according to Gartner research, by 2027, Cloud computing will not only be a technological approach for delivering applications but will also serve as the key driver of business innovation, including AI, IoT and quantum computing, for instance.

Having understood the value of rapid cloud-native digital transformation to business globally, Connectis and WEM decided on a strategic partnership and jointly develop a unique platform offering that transform the way businesses operate, enabling organizations to achieve unparalleled business outcomes in a secure fashion.

We have combined the intuitive WEM Enterprise No-Code development platform with the guarantee and expertise of Connectis’ secure-by-design cloud approach and principles to create a powerful and scalable platform as a service (PaaS) to accelerate companies’ digital transformation without writing a single line of code.

At Connectis we have a lot of experience with strategic partners. The alliance with WEM is an add on to stablished partnerships we already have, such as Dell, Microsoft, Cisco, NEC, IBM, HPE, VMware, Colt, Palo Alto, and others.

Why have you decided to present No Code Cloud at Web Summit Rio?

Web Summit Rio is one of the largest technology events in world, and the stage for innovation announcements, where experts and leaders from all industries meet to discuss and learn about technology trends that will be developed in the next coming years.

Our customers around the globe are already reporting incredible results, reduced overhead costs, increased efficiencies and customer experience with the NCC platform. The tech sector is booming in Latin America.  I see many companies going through unstoppable digital transformation in the region and we have decided to take this great opportunity at Web Summit Rio to introduce the No-Code Cloud platform, concludes Philip Hoegee.
