“Akola” should be imported to replace foreign programs SharePoint, Bubble, Creatio, Mendix and Salesforce Lightning. With the platform, you can create all components of a web application without programming, using only built-in code-free tools: the application data model, information processing algorithms, and others. To interact with external systems, the service uses an API builder, with which you can configure interaction with other systems operating on the company’s infrastructure.
At the moment, there are no platforms in Russia that allow “simultaneously creating complex data structures, algorithms and interfaces without code,” says Arsen Blagov, general director of RTK IT Plus.
He also highlighted the advantage of IT staff shortages: “Because products are not created by developers, but by administrators and analysts, the costs of creating applications or portals are reduced by an average of 80%.”
In addition, with the help of Akola, the customer can increase the speed of development of new solutions by “five times” because “the platform provides all the necessary intuitive mechanisms,” Blagov added.
RTK IT Plus estimated the target audience of the no-code service at 10 thousand companies, both enterprise-level and representatives of medium and small businesses: financial services, retail, industry and the hospitality sector. The company expects that in 2025 in Russia up to 70% of business applications will use low-code technology, and that in 2028 the volume of this market will reach 30 billion rubles.
Experts interviewed by Forbes said that low-code platforms already exist in the Russian market, even from large providers. At the same time, Akola has a chance to be in demand if it can offer “a suitable alternative with Russian support, the possibility of paying for it in rubles, and at the same time the service will be as native and simple as the same.” Bubble,” says the CEO of the no-code school developed by “Zerocoder” Kirill Pshinnik.
