Software for government professionals

Government professionals have to work with enormous amounts of data and have complex workflows. Is there anything low code tools can do to help them?

In the UK there have been well publicised IT disaster stories – particularly with the National Health Service – attempts to build monstrosity IT systems which turned out to be too complex to work.

Perhaps low code tools do have an answer here – particularly because if they are cheap to build then the costs of building the wrong thing are not too high.

Perhaps the only way to do it is bespoke for each individual. Everybody has specific data sources they go to and people they collaborate with, probably mainly with structured routines. This can be included in business process management tools.

Perhaps a small company can help by taking on some of the development risk. Instead of a government person having to get approval for a multimillion pound new software project, going through the approved licensing steps and inevitably only available to very large suppliers, a small company can build something on spec and provide it for a monthly fee.

I am not sure it has ever been done, though!
