The CIO’s Advantage: Faster Innovation with AI and Low Code

AI-powered low-code platforms are helping CIOs overcome resource constraints and developer backlogs by enabling faster, more inclusive innovation across the enterprise.

• Low-code tools empower both professional developers and business users to build enterprise-grade applications, automate workflows and extend existing systems—reducing development time and increasing efficiency.
• Generative AI enhances low code by enabling users to create intelligent agents through natural language, integrate with 1,500+ data connectors and build solutions grounded in existing enterprise data.
• Microsoft Copilot Studio and Power Platform provide secure, scalable, enterprise-ready governance—mitigating shadow IT risks while supporting large-scale innovation and measurable business impact.

By combining AI, low-code development and strong governance, organisations can scale innovation confidently while maintaining security and compliance. Copilot Studio allows users of all skill levels to build and deploy intelligent agents that automate processes, enhance decision-making and improve user experiences. As part of Microsoft Power Platform, it creates a unified ecosystem where apps, automations, analytics and AI agents work together seamlessly. With a clear strategy—starting with high-impact use cases and scaling progressively—CIOs can bridge the gap between business demand and IT capacity, driving sustainable digital transformation and long-term competitive advantage.
