Historically, Rapid Application Development (RAD) was the first software development methodology that emphasized the need for adaptability in product delivery. Though RAD was conceived in the 1980s, today it is facilitating the rapid growth of digital enterprise enablement for businesses.

The primary reason for this being, a traditional methodology like Waterfall creates frequent backlogs as the demand keeps growing, but the delivery of quality apps requires months or even years. Rapid enterprise application development has proven its worth as a viable alternative, making quick development a reality for any business.

Giving Credence to the Context

According to multiple research papers, the demand for RAD has witnessed a rise of 7.7% (on average) in the last five years. Moreover, experts deduce that the compounded growth rate for the period between 2018-2023 will be more than 40%.

These statistics correspond to the demand for Rapid Application Development globally. If you are a business that still performs using dated or disparate software, a RAD platform is a remarkable way to create customized applications for your business.

Rapid Application Development Advantages

While RAD does present a multitude of advantages, here are the key advantages:

1. Faster Time-to-Market and Low Development Cost

Applied RAD methodology shortens time-to-market to weeks and months. For any business, this means they can get going much earlier than what the Waterfall method allows. This reflects on the costs of enterprise application as well, which makes for a considerable advantage.

1. Lower Risk Reduction

The RAD lifecycle is an iterative one, where functional and prototype testing through the cycle improves final product quality. The prototype is tested for usability and bugs, and the process continues until the application is successfully delivered to the client – error-free.

1. Lower IT Expenditure

Businesses today use various software to manage various aspects of their operations. While some may be dated, one thing is for sure that the data from these software don’t ‘talk’ to each other. With a RAD platform, all disparate software and data are brought together into a unified technology solution, in just one-click. This entails zero sunk costs for previous technology investments.

Bringing it All Together

Rapid application development empowers organizations to use technology with little to no expertise in maintenance. Such a context works for businesses in multiple ways, especially SMEs, who can access similar technology that large-scale enterprises use, only at affordable costs. With such demand for enterprise application development, battle-tested companies are primed to fill in the vacuum rather quickly.
