Audit, control, and compliance activities are based on common principles and fundamentals. However, each public or private organization implements a system specific to its context and characteristics. Hence the importance of being able to rely on software that can be customized easily and quickly. This is what Values Associates offers you with its no code platform.
A current trend in software development, no code enables the digitalization of an organization’s activities without undertaking heavy IT development projects. Using no code software means risk and compliance management activities that are 100% accessible, optimized, customized, and secure.
No code is one of the most significant phenomena of recent years, bringing profound changes to the IT world and software development.
The no code development approach has many advantages:
In our no code solution, everything (or almost everything) can be easily configured:
You can easily automate your data collection activities via online forms and checklists.
Two options are notably available:
With our no code platform, manage an unlimited number of frameworks. Our platform has been designed so that new fields and new frameworks can be added without limit:
As its name suggests, no code allows you to rapidly develop software from a no code platform, via simple and intuitive visual interfaces, without needing to master computer programming. No IT skills are required. No need to know how to code. No code facilitates the design and evolution of digital tools. Non-IT users configure the various features autonomously, just as they can do today in a tool like Excel.
No code is one of the significant developments in the software market. It was driven by the COVID-19 health crisis, the development of remote work in companies, local authorities, and public administrations, and more broadly the digitalization of professional environments. While no code has existed in practice for over a decade, it is now experiencing exponential growth. The Gartner Institute values the market at nearly $27 billion in 2023 and forecasts an average annual increase of 19% through 2026. A figure to compare with the situation in 2017: $3.8 billion.
Three main advantages: autonomy, timelines, and costs.
The first advantage is giving you complete autonomy to build and evolve your software. You can digitalize your work method via an end-to-end tool contextualized to account for the specificities of your environment.
The second is a very significant time saving, enabling the design and launch of a no code business application generally in less than fifteen days. You gain agility and speed.
The third advantage concerns financial issues: overall costs for design, software development, and licenses are generally divided by 10, where previously thousands of euros were often required. As an illustration, the Sapin 2 law compliance management applications we developed with our no code platform alongside our partner Mazars are offered on average at less than €10K excl. tax/year. For 50 subsidiaries or business units, the accounting control procedures application costs €600 excl. tax/year/subsidiary or business unit.
No code is a response to the complexity of developing an in-house application that accounts for all the specificities of your context and function. IT development of dedicated applications mobilizes numerous resources, generally in high demand. From IT project managers to development teams, these employee resources struggle to meet all requests, which are moreover increasingly numerous. This situation is all the more critical as digitalization becomes central.
No code is also a response to the lack of agility of market tools, which cannot be modified and customized as easily and quickly as no code applications.
No code allows you to create a digital tool without IT skills, without calling on a developer, without having to write a line of code. It thus represents a strong lever for experimentation and launching innovative initiatives within the organization. Whatever the function concerned, it opens the door to creating digitalization projects that could never have been considered in the past.
Our no code solution was built with a central objective: to be simple and intuitive. Everything has been designed to be as close as possible to the operating modes of applications you use in your personal environment. You do not need to spend time attending training sessions. Our team supports you in getting started with your no code tool. FAQs and videos are also available to assist you in your use.
The no code solution architecture is fully secure: 2048-bit SSL encryption system, compliance with OWASP recommendations (global reference for web application security), ISO 27001 certified hosting (optional), anti-DDOS attack protection system, automatic alerts, server monitoring, redundant systems, dual daily backups. Hosting servers are located in France. The support team, responsible for technical and functional aspects, is located in our development center in Nevers. Periodic security audits are guaranteed on our developments.
Furthermore, on data protection issues, we guarantee database encryption, access control and authentication, data protection in compliance with GDPR, and securing connections between API interfaces. We deploy all standard SSL encryption, SSO single sign-on authentication, or IP address restriction technologies. For sensitive access, we guarantee widespread use of 2FA two-factor authentication, favoring a technique other than SMS.
An API software interface ensures interactions with your organization’s information system or external tools, including screening or OCR tools. An SSO (single sign-on) authentication connection is offered as an option to make authentication of no code solution users transparent and automatic when they are connected to your organization’s network.
Your data is returned to you in a standard format that can be used without difficulty.
It is possible to import any type of data in CSV format, flat files, database extracts, or integrate them via an API with your information system or external tools.
