The No Code market is rapidly expanding, with an increasing range of offerings and promising prospects. However, this enthusiasm should not overshadow the limitations of these solutions, which mainly include: The limitation of customization, due to the fact that they offer a predefined set of features and components. This constraint limits creativity and confines the user to less complex applications, a niche where iBPMS solutions excel. The complexity of connecting with other applications via APIs, which often requires the intervention of IT teams, even though a library of connectors is available. Security and compliance challenges, since the business often creates interconnected applications with the IT system without adequate management of integrity with the HRIS, employee workflows, or the authorization aspect (IAM), not to mention the separation of duties (SoD), thus opening the door to cyber attacks.     “The ROK platform stands out with its remarkable level of customization for form interfaces, offering a limitless design workshop. It makes it easy to design complex apps and bots with No Code | OCR and AI (rok-solution.com). Similar to PowerPoint, it allows for complete customization of the graphical interface and navigation. The provided store enables customization and branding of the created applications to reflect the company or service’s image. Additionally, because its roots are in iBPMS, ROK facilitates the creation of complex business workflows through simple drag-and-drop, fully delivering on the No Code promise to accelerate digital transformation while optimizing the workflows created on a single platform. For opening applications created with the IT environment, ROK’s modeling interface allows for the integration of third-party APIs without writing a single line of code. The latest version of ROK also includes an AI assistant to facilitate the integration of complex APIs, eliminating the need to spend hours reading their documentation and making the API stores often offered by vendors obsolete. In terms of security, ROK is defined as ‘compliant & secure by design’. It natively integrates the ability to interface with HRIS systems, IAM tools, and electronic directories such as Active Directory (AD). The platform manages, in real time and transparently for the designer, the mapping of access, including those related to the application created. It links with the company’s organizational charts, clearly exposing the new fields of responsibility of the actors and automatically updates the risk mapping of Separation of Duties (SoD). Mr. Lounis, CIO of Support Functions France at the Transdev Group (Client Successes: Optimization and Securing of the Supplier Reference (rok-solution.com)), shares his experience using the ROK platform: “Transdev France uses ROK to manage the lifecycle of its supplier repository, which includes over 40,000 third parties with several hundred requests for creation, modification, deactivation, and reactivation per month. This management is ensured through a secure real-time interface with our ERP and Altares, to guarantee the identity, integrity, and activity status of the third party in the repository. The processes designed in ROK also include Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to dematerialize PDF-format bank account details into a form and facilitate their verification with an interbank control platform.” Looking ahead, ROK will offer a new modeling interface in June 2024 that will further simplify the creation of No Code applications. Currently, ROK allows the creation of No Code applications from scratch (or from a template in the store) through simple drag-and-drop, but also by importing a Word document or an Excel file describing the desired workflow. The integration of AI will revolutionize application creation by suggesting workflows tailored to expressed needs, accepting desired modifications through natural interaction, and instantly publishing a viable application distributed among various stakeholders, always in compliance with permissions. In summary, ROK clearly stands out from its competitors with its unique ability to deeply customize developed applications, orchestrate complex business flows leveraging its roots in iBPMS systems, and finely manage permissions as well as overall security, thanks to its integrated HR module and advanced management of organizational charts. It revolutionizes integration with the IT ecosystem by utilizing artificial intelligence to far exceed the capabilities of traditional API stores, which are now rendered obsolete. The next version of ROK promises to reinvent the creation of No Code applications, taking unprecedented advantage of advancements in AI to offer a limitless, deeply intuitive, and fully secure development experience (here, even the established application stores are relegated to the stone age). Thus, ROK does not merely navigate the frontier between No Code and AI but aims to merge the two to establish a new standard in enterprise application creation. cyberexperts.tech dsi-numerique.fr digit-collab.com numeric-tools.com ia-news.fr actu-dsi.fr disrupt-b2b.fr itb2b-univers.com decideur-it.fr dsisionnel.com ntic-infos.fr solutions-numeriques.com ROK Decoder: Your Questions, Our Answers! The No Code has never been so clear. Why use No Code platforms? No code platforms aim to accelerate digital development by eliminating the need for manual coding and reducing deployment times. They contribute to the democratization of digital creation by empowering business users (citizen developers), thereby fostering innovation and freeing up time for IT teams. Overall, they enable significant cost reductions and offer a consistently positive ROI. What are the limitations of these solutions? Although these platforms offer a variety of pre-designed patterns and components, they are limited in terms of presentation possibilities and customization. Similarly, while offering a range of components and connectors, they encounter feasibility issues when deviating from standard applications (complex apps). Additionally, by nature (due to their widespread use) and by design, they open up vulnerabilities to cybercriminals and present security flaws that are difficult to manage. Customization seems to be a limitation in No Code; what about with ROK? Beyond providing a range of more or less extensive pattern models that no code solutions offer, ROK features a unique design workshop. Its intuitive drag-and-drop graphical interface and extensive graphic palette facilitate the creation of customized applications in a manner similar to PowerPoint, which offers patterns but also allows you to design a completely original slide from scratch. An ingenious rule engine enables the creation of both unique and multiple forms within the same application, thus opening the door to complex
