What Else Is New at Âé¶¹Ô´´ TechEd?
Let’s go into some specifics for each of the areas in our new unified low-code/no-code offering:
- Âé¶¹Ô´´ Business Application Studio has seen a dramatic improvement in development productivity through the low-code/no-code experience now available.
- We’ve also fully integrated the acquisition in the no-code space. Âé¶¹Ô´´ AppGyver is now part of CPEA, available to all our customers as well as planned through the free tier model in the first quarter of 2022.
