Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of engineering project management technology, and in particular to an engineering project management system and method. Background Technology

[0002] Before the advent and widespread attention of no-code solutions, companies typically purchased off-the-shelf software from software service providers for system implementation, occasionally opting for custom-developed software based on their own requirements. However, as companies have grown, the limitations of these two approaches have become increasingly apparent. On the one hand, setting aside the cost of purchasing off-the-shelf software, this method cannot meet some of the company's personalized needs or scenarios. On the other hand, the lengthy process of custom development, from requirements gathering and system development to testing and deployment, coupled with misunderstandings of business needs leading to numerous difficulties in use and maintenance, has resulted in further challenges. As the company's digital transformation has progressed from core businesses to new businesses, and from management to frontline employees, more and deeper demands have emerged. Consequently, software procurement costs have increased, and application development requirements have made it increasingly difficult for the company to balance the contradictions between cost and efficiency, and between generality and personalization, during the system implementation process.

[0003] For developers, no-code / low-code development platforms have virtually no technical barriers. Regardless of programming experience, anyone can quickly develop applications according to their own intentions. Therefore, no-code development platforms provide opportunities for business personnel and individuals without coding skills to develop the applications they want and improve work efficiency.

[0004] In today's rapidly evolving digital age, the field of engineering project management is actively seeking innovation to adapt to complex and ever-changing market demands and the urgent need for efficient management. Against this backdrop, low-code development technology has rapidly emerged as a powerful force in the field of engineering project management.

[0005] Low-code is not just a technology, but a revolutionary way of thinking. At its core, it simplifies and accelerates application development, enabling rapid development through a graphical interface and minimal coding, allowing even those without programming knowledge to easily build powerful applications. In the field of engineering project management, this technology has brought unprecedented convenience and advantages.

[0006] The importance of digital management for engineering projects is becoming increasingly apparent. Traditional project management often faces challenges such as cumbersome processes, information silos, and uneven resource allocation. Digital management, through information technology, automation, and intelligence, not only improves project management efficiency but also demonstrates its power in risk control, resource optimization, and team collaboration. The field of engineering project management urgently needs an innovative solution to address these challenges, and low-code architecture is one such solution.

[0007] Foreign low-code platforms: Foreign low-code platforms, represented by OutSystems, Mendix, and Microsoft Azure, started earlier, have higher technological maturity, and are widely used globally.

[0008] Domestic low-code platforms, while ensuring efficient development, place greater emphasis on data security and system stability. They exhibit excellent integration and compatibility with major domestic IT infrastructure and security products, providing enterprises with more comprehensive and reliable solutions. Having a deeper understanding of domestic market demands and industry characteristics, they can offer more tailored services and support based on actual enterprise needs, helping enterprises quickly achieve digital transformation. These platforms also prioritize support for domestic policies and standards, as well as understanding and adapting to the local market. This enables enterprises to better meet the needs of the domestic market and enhance their market competitiveness.

[0009] By comparing and analyzing domestic and international low-code platforms, enterprises can choose the appropriate platform for application development based on their own needs. During the selection process, various platform metrics should be comprehensively considered, such as technical architecture, functionalities, development efficiency, and ecosystem, to ensure that enterprises obtain the best development experience and business value during their digital transformation. At the same time, enterprises should maintain a prudent attitude when choosing a low-code platform, focusing on its sustainable development and ecosystem building to adapt to ever-changing market demands and technological environments.
