For us, it's very helpful for low-code development. Different leaders and employees are able to go in and create their own apps and connect their work activities. It has been really helpful for that. We don't have to constantly go out into the software for developing a new solution or workflow. It gives the employees a little bit more freedom to own the work that they're doing.
