CODELESSNESS AS AN OPEN SCIENCE TOOL USED BY THE ORGANIZATIONS OF THE FUTURE

Summary/Abstract: Responding to the currently growing need for digital development in organizations, the idea of codelessness, and precisely low-code, no-code tools (LCNC), has recently experienced a surge in popularity. The introduction of such solutions may also be possible due to commonly shared platforms such as open-source software, which are an integral part of a larger concept - Open Science. Many organizations are unaware of the possible interconnections between LCNC implementation and Open Science in the organization, and there is a cognitive gap in the literature on this topic. For this reason, the main goal of the research is to evaluate Codelessness as an Open Science tool worth implementing by the small organizations. The research tool was a semi-structured interview conducted in 3 different IT-related start-up companies. The analysis of the data collected during the interviews answers the research questions, leading to the conclusion that a link exists between codeless solutions and open science, and that open-source software is the bridge to connect these two concepts. Additionally, among the most important factors influencing the choice of a given codeless solution, interviewees indicated the price of the platform, its maintenance and functionality, and, in third place, its adaptability to other systems in the organization. Continuous innovation, which is valued in a competitive market, and economic benefits such as improved efficiency and time management of employees were identified as the main advantages of codeless solutions.
