PwC’s Digital Maker: A response to Digital Enterprise challenges

The rise of digitisation has transformed the world of work – increasing workforce mobility but also creating a major business problem: greater agility to response and execute business changes.     

PwC’s Digital Maker is a low-code platform that empowers non-technical developers to ramp up their organisation’s Future of Work transformation initiatives to delivery and simplifies workflow process resulting in greater productivity. Three critical challenges, such as flexibility in deciding when to deploy applications while balancing various external factors such as the demand for agility, and the organisation's dynamic requirements for developing applications, are resolved with the use of PwC’s low-code platform. It secures data, saves time by 82% and is 6 times faster in delivering results.

PwC built Digital Maker to solve business problems with technology.
