Dunia pengembangan aplikasi terus berkembang seiring kemajuan teknologi. Kini, berbagai pendekatan telah muncul, dari pengembangan Low-Code, yang memungkinkan pengembangan aplikasi tanpa memerlukan keterampilan coding mendalam, hingga pengembangan Full-Code yang memberikan fleksibilitas tertinggi bagi developer berpengalaman.
Bagi startup dan perusahaan besar, memilih pendekatan yang tepat untuk pengembangan aplikasi sangat penting. Dua pilihan yang sering dihadapi adalah low code dan full code.

Aplikasi semakin populer karena kegunaan dan aksesibilitasnya. Namun dengan begitu banyak software development di luar sana, mungkin akan sulit untuk menentukan jenis pengembangan mana yang terbaik untuk perusahaan bisnis Anda. Ketika membangun platform Internet of Things (IoT), banyak yang merasa bingung memilih antara menggunakan low code platform atau full code development. Kedua pendekatan ini memiliki kelebihan dan kekurangannya masing-masing.

Dalam dunia pengembangan, pemilihan antara low code dan full code dapat menentukan seberapa efisien dan cepat aplikasi yang Anda buat.
Low code platform menawarkan kemudahan dalam pengembangan dengan lebih sedikit menulis kode.
Sementara full code development memberikan kebebasan dan kontrol penuh atas setiap aspek pengembangan aplikasi. Kedua pendekatan ini dapat digunakan untuk membangun platform, tetapi pilihan terbaik sangat bergantung pada kebutuhan proyek yang sedang dijalankan.

Low code vs full code adalah perbandingan antara dua pendekatan dalam software development, yang berbeda dari segi tingkat penulisan kode dan fleksibilitasnya.

Apa itu Low Code dan Apa itu Full Code?

Low code platform adalah pendekatan software yang memungkinkan pengguna untuk membangun aplikasi dengan sedikit menulis kode atau bahkan tanpa menulis kode sama sekali.
Dengan menggunakan low code platform, Anda bisa mempercepat pembuatan aplikasi tanpa harus menguasai keterampilan pemrograman mendalam.
Platform ini menawarkan antarmuka grafis yang memungkinkan anda drag-and-drop komponen aplikasi seperti database dan API, sehingga sangat cocok untuk prototyping cepat.

Sebaliknya, full code development adalah metode software development yang melibatkan penulisan seluruh kode aplikasi dari awal hingga selesai. Pendekatan ini memberikan fleksibilitas dan kontrol penuh kepada developer, memungkinkan mereka untuk menyesuaikan setiap detail dari aplikasi yang mereka buat, termasuk dalam membangun platform yang sangat kompleks dan spesifik. Jika Anda membutuhkan fungsionalitas yang sangat terperinci, full code adalah pilihan yang tepat.

Berikut ini adalah perbandingan kelebihan low code platform dan full code development:

1. Kecepatan Pengembangan
   Banyak orang memilih low code platform, karena proses software development bisa dilakukan lebih cepat dengan menggunakan antarmuka visual, Anda bisa menghindari banyak tahapan pemrograman manual yang memakan banyak waktu. Di sisi lain, full code development memerlukan waktu lebih lama karena menulis dan menguji setiap bagian kode.
    
2. Kemudahan Penggunaan
   Low code platform memungkinkan pengembangan tanpa memerlukan pengetahuan mendalam tentang kode. Hal ini sangat cocok untuk tim yang ingin fokus pada ide kreatif tanpa harus berurusan dengan kompleksitas teknis.
   Sebaliknya full code development memerlukan pengalaman dan keterampilan pengkodean yang kuat untuk bisa mengelola dan mengembangkan secara efektif.
    
3. Fleksibilitas dan Kustomisasi
   Full code development memberikan kontrol penuh atas setiap aspek aplikasi, sehingga Anda bisa mengubah dan menyesuaikan platform sesuai dengan kebutuhan spesifik proyek Anda.
   Low code platform lebih terbatas dalam hal ini karena fitur yang tersedia sering kali sudah ditentukan oleh platform yang digunakan.
    
4. Kebutuhan Skill atau Kemampuan Teknis
   Low code platform bisa digunakan oleh non programmer atau developer junior, serta banyak dokumentasi dan template yang dapat mempermudah adopsi,
   Full code development membutuhkan developer yang berpengalaman dalam bahasa pemrograman dan cocok untuk tim teknis profesional.
    
5. Biaya
   Low code platform membutuhkan biaya awal lebih murah, karena proses pengembangan lebih cepat dan bisa dilakukan oleh tim kecil, dan cocok untuk perusahaan kecil hingga menengah atau tim dengan anggaran terbatas.
   Full code development perlu biaya awal lebih besar, karena membutuhkan tim developer, infrastruktur, dan waktu pengembangan lebih lama namun hemat dalam jangka panjang jika sistem terus dikembangkan dan dimiliki sendiri (tanpa biaya lisensi)
    
6. Integrasi Sistem
   Dalam low code platform banyak platform yang mendukung integrasi out of the box (API, database populer, service cloud), namun bisa terbatas jika butuh integrasi dengan sistem legacy atau protokol khusus.
   Untuk full code development integrasi tak terbatas, bisa dihubungkan ke sistem internal, database custom, atau protokol unik, namun membutuhkan waktu dan effort lebih tapi fleksibel.

Keunggulan dan kekurangan Low code dan Full code dalam software development:

1. Low Code
   1. Keunggulan:
      1. Salah satu keunggulan utama low code platform adalah efisiensi dalam proses pengembangan karena memungkinkan developer membangun aplikasi dengan cepat tanpa harus menulis kode dari awal.

   2. Kekurangan:
      1. Meskipun menawarkan permulaan yang tinggi, low code tetap memerlukan keterampilan teknis dalam implementasinya sehingga tidak sepenuhnya dapat digunakan oleh non-developer.
      2. Ketergantungan pada platform low code juga bisa menjadi kendala karena perusahaan harus menyesuaikan diri dengan batasan yang diberikan oleh penyedia layanan.
      3. Dalam proyek yang sangat kompleks, penggunaan low code platform masih memerlukan intervensi developer untuk memastikan aplikasi berjalan sesuai dengan kebutuhan bisnis.
      4. Faktor lainnya adalah potensi masalah keamanan dan skalabilitas jika tidak dirancang dengan benar sejak awal.
      5. Kustomisasi terbatas, tampilan UI, flow data atau struktur database hanya bisa diubah dalam batas tertentu. Jika butuh integrasi spesifik atau algoritma unik, bisa sangat sulit (bahkan tidak bisa dilakukan sama sekali).
          
2. Full Code
   1. Keunggulan
      1. Full code development memiliki keunggulan fleksibilitas tanpa batas, bisa membangun fitur unik dan logika bisnis kompleks sesuai kebutuhan spesifik.
      2. Full code tidak terbatas pada kemampuan atau batasan platform pihak ketiga, dan sangat cocok untuk proyek yang memerlukan algoritma khusus, sistem real-time, AI, atau skala besar,
      3. Full code memiliki kontrol menyeluruh atas semua aspek aplikasi: arsitektur, performa, UI/UX, keamanan, dan deployment, serta dapat menyesuaikan struktur data, routing, autentikasi, enkripsi dan lainnya sesuai standar perusahaan.
      4. Developer bisa memilih sendiri stack teknologi, framework, dan layanan yang digunakan.
   2. Kekurangan
      1. Full code development memerlukan waktu pengembangan lebih lama. Semua komponen dibangun dari nol atau library open-source, mulai dari setup awal, database, logika bisnis, hingga tampilan semuanya perlu dikerjakan manual, sehingga tidak cocok untuk yang butuh hasil cepat atau prototipe instan.
      2. Full code membutuhkan tim dengan skill yang tinggi. Full code harus memiliki developer berpengalaman dalam berbagai bidang seperti backend, frontend, database, keamanan, deployment dan lainnya.
         Kesalahan kecil dalam penulisan kode bisa menyebabkan bug atau celah keamanan.
      3. Full code perlu biaya lebih untuk merekrut developer, arsitek sistem, UI/UX designer, dan tim DevOps, juga perlu investasi untuk infrastruktur seperti server, CI/CD tools, dan lainnya.
      4. Full code cocok untuk investasi jangka panjang, tapi kurang efisien jika hanya untuk solusi cepat atau satu kali pakai.

No companies are prepared for COVID-19 outbreak.

When the earliest cases of the novel coronavirus were found December last year, no one could have predicted that the pandemic will lead us to the environment we are currently living and working in, and that the situation will escalate so quickly in just a few months.

The implementation of PSBB or Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (Large-scale Social Restrictions) and strong encouragement of work from home policies has caused businesses from accross different sectors to falters, resulting in economic disruption that has caused more than 2 millions of Indonesian workers being laid off and placed on furlough.

With the vaccine has yet to be found, social distancing may remain in place for a longer time. Harvard Researchers even predicted that in US, intermittent distancing may be required into 2022 unless a treatment or vaccine becomes available. Given examples of South Korea and Singapore, effective distancing is essentials because it could reduce the strain on health care systems and enable contact tracing and quarantine to be feasible.

Wearing a facemask, social distancing and frequent hand-washing will become parts of the ‘new normal’ from now on, said the head of the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPD) who is also the head of the National COVID-19 Task Force.

However, prolonged distancing may have negative economic consequences that will lead to a global recession, where 1.1 million to 3.78 million of Indonesian people could fall into poverty, and 2.9 million to 5.2 million workers could lose their jobs.

To keep your business afloat and recover from the impact caused by the corona virus pandemic, it is important to ensure that everyone is healthy and productive. In the past few months, many businesses has undergone digital transformation and incorporate new technologies and strategies as a way to remain productive and effective under highly challenging circumstances.

As one of the leading system integrator in Indonesia, BTS.id is ready to support your IT needs for digital transformation in two ways:

1. Project-Based

In a project-based model, a dedicated team is assigned to handle the whole process of a project, from the beginning to the end. The team may consist of people with all of the skills required to take care of the project, such as software developers, UI/UX designers, software testers, project managers, etc. Usually, one team will focus on managing no more than two projects at the same time, making it a suitable option for companies with no internal IT team.

By adopting this model, you will be able to bring together people with different skillsets at a more reasonable cost. Furthermore, with the team focus on less deliverable, they can also be more productive and less distracted, which is crucial for the success of the project.

2. Team-based Outsourcing

With a team-based outsourcing, you are the one who manage the project. A distributed team or personnel will contribute to your projects, which can be two or more at the same time. Unlike the project-based outsourcing, this outsourcing model allows you to hire both a specific team member and a full, complete team. Whether it is just a developer, UI/UX designer, or a software tester, you can hire only the people you need for your projects.

The team-based outsourcing model allows the team members to switch from one task to another across multiple projects, therefore more agile and flexible. As an additional support, this solution is recommended for companies that already have their own in-house IT team.

Why work with BTS.id?

1. Remote software development with strict procedural rules

We put our clients’ and employees’ health on top of our priority, hence the reason why during the pandemic, we encourage you to choose remote software development instead. To maintain physical distancing during the development process, in person or face-to-face meetings will be replaced with remote, online, or virtual one, supported by the latest technology such as video conferencing and collaborative tools that can bridge the distance gap between you and the development team.

Not only that, we also follow strict personal hygiene, cleaning, and sanitising procedure to ensure that the development team will stay healthy and fit throughout the development process.

We are communicative, responsive, and commited to deliver your projects with 100% success rate, even remotely.

In the digital era, technology is no longer just a support tool, but has become the main foundation for business growth. To remain competitive and continue evolving, companies need the right technological support.
This is where software development companies serve as strategic partners.
Partnering with a software house is not only about creating applications but also delivering real benefits for businesses that aim to innovate and expand their reach.
Through this collaboration, businesses can combine specialized knowledge, pool resources, and accelerate the creation of new products.

The main benefits of working with a software development company as follows:

1. Ensuring Quality and Expertise
   The first benefit of partnering with a software house is access to skilled professionals with extensive experience in various technologies and programming languages.
   They can be trusted to deliver accurate, high-quality, and innovative solutions tailored to your business's specific needs.
2. Saving Time and Costs
   Developing software in-house requires significant investments in terms of time, cost, and human resources.
   By using the services of a software company, you can save time and costs for recruitment and training, as the provided team is already trained and ready to work.
3. Ability and Focus on Core Business
   By outsourcing software development to a software house, you can focus on your core business aspects without being distracted by the technical complexities and project management of software development.
   This allows you to allocate resources and attention to business growth and key strategies while ensuring that your core competencies remain the priority.
4. Customized Solutions
   Every business has unique needs. A software house can design custom applications that truly address your company’s specific challenges.
5. Innovation and Scalability
   The digital solutions built are not only relevant for today but also flexible enough to support business growth in the future.
6. Competitive Advantage
   With the right software, your business can stand out and gain an edge over competitors, both in terms of services and operational efficiency.

In today’s digital era, software is no longer just an additional tool but has become a key driver in boosting efficiency, enhancing customer experience, and expanding business opportunities. However, success in leveraging this technology largely depends on the software development company (software house) you choose as your partner.

To choose the right software development company, you need to evaluate their technical expertise and experience in your industry, review their portfolio and case studies of previous projects, ensure their capability to develop scalable and future-ready software, assess transparent pricing models as well as readiness for post-project support and maintenance, and most importantly, confirm alignment with your company’s culture and communication style.
With so many options available, you need to consider several key factors to ensure that your technology investment truly delivers maximum results.

Some of them include:

1. Understand Your Business Needs
   Before looking for a partner, make sure you are clear about the goals of the software you want to build.
   Is it to speed up internal operations, provide better customer service, or open up new market opportunities? With clear needs, it will be easier to find the right company.
2. Review Portfolio and Experience
   Check the projects they have previously worked on. A portfolio provides a real picture of their quality, creativity, and ability to handle different types of business. The more relevant their experience is to your industry, the greater the chances of your project's success.
3. Evaluate Technological Expertise
   Ensure the company masters the latest technologies that suit your needs, whether it’s web applications, mobile apps, cloud solutions, or AI-based systems. The right technical expertise will guarantee software that is reliable, secure, and sustainable in the long term.
4. Consider Reputation and Client Testimonials
   Look at reviews, case studies, or testimonials from their previous clients. This helps you assess the professionalism, consistency, and ability of the company to build long-term trust.
5. Development Methodology Used
   Choose a company that applies modern methodologies such as Agile or Scrum. With these methods, the development process becomes more flexible, transparent, and adaptable to changes in your business needs.
6. Communication and Post-Project Support
   Smooth communication is the key to successful collaboration. Ensure they are responsive, open in providing updates, and offer technical support after the software is completed.
7. Align with Budget and Added Value
   While price is important, don’t just focus on the cheapest option. Also consider service quality, long-term support, and the added value they can provide to support your business growth.

Choosing the right software development company is a strategic step for business success in the digital era.
With the right partner, you don’t just get software, you gain digital solutions that support innovation, efficiency, and long-term growth.
Every business has its own challenges and opportunities. But one thing is certain: in the digital era, technology is the key to growth. Many companies across different sectors have proven that partnering with a software development company (software house) is not just about building applications, but about paving the way for innovations and business expansion

Here are some real-life examples to inspire you:

1. Local Retail Store Becoming a National E-Commerce

Dunia pengembangan aplikasi terus berkembang seiring kemajuan teknologi. Kini, berbagai pendekatan telah muncul, dari pengembangan Low-Code, yang memungkinkan pengembangan aplikasi tanpa memerlukan keterampilan coding mendalam, hingga pengembangan Full-Code yang memberikan fleksibilitas tertinggi bagi developer berpengalaman.
Bagi startup dan perusahaan besar, memilih pendekatan yang tepat untuk pengembangan aplikasi sangat penting. Dua pilihan yang sering dihadapi adalah low code dan full code.

Aplikasi semakin populer karena kegunaan dan aksesibilitasnya. Namun dengan begitu banyak software development di luar sana, mungkin akan sulit untuk menentukan jenis pengembangan mana yang terbaik untuk perusahaan bisnis Anda. Ketika membangun platform Internet of Things (IoT), banyak yang merasa bingung memilih antara menggunakan low code platform atau full code development. Kedua pendekatan ini memiliki kelebihan dan kekurangannya masing-masing.

Dalam dunia pengembangan, pemilihan antara low code dan full code dapat menentukan seberapa efisien dan cepat aplikasi yang Anda buat.
Low code platform menawarkan kemudahan dalam pengembangan dengan lebih sedikit menulis kode.
Sementara full code development memberikan kebebasan dan kontrol penuh atas setiap aspek pengembangan aplikasi. Kedua pendekatan ini dapat digunakan untuk membangun platform, tetapi pilihan terbaik sangat bergantung pada kebutuhan proyek yang sedang dijalankan.

Low code vs full code adalah perbandingan antara dua pendekatan dalam software development, yang berbeda dari segi tingkat penulisan kode dan fleksibilitasnya.

Apa itu Low Code dan Apa itu Full Code?

Low code platform adalah pendekatan software yang memungkinkan pengguna untuk membangun aplikasi dengan sedikit menulis kode atau bahkan tanpa menulis kode sama sekali.
Dengan menggunakan low code platform, Anda bisa mempercepat pembuatan aplikasi tanpa harus menguasai keterampilan pemrograman mendalam.
Platform ini menawarkan antarmuka grafis yang memungkinkan anda drag-and-drop komponen aplikasi seperti database dan API, sehingga sangat cocok untuk prototyping cepat.

Sebaliknya, full code development adalah metode software development yang melibatkan penulisan seluruh kode aplikasi dari awal hingga selesai. Pendekatan ini memberikan fleksibilitas dan kontrol penuh kepada developer, memungkinkan mereka untuk menyesuaikan setiap detail dari aplikasi yang mereka buat, termasuk dalam membangun platform yang sangat kompleks dan spesifik. Jika Anda membutuhkan fungsionalitas yang sangat terperinci, full code adalah pilihan yang tepat.

Berikut ini adalah perbandingan kelebihan low code platform dan full code development:

1. Kecepatan Pengembangan
   Banyak orang memilih low code platform, karena proses software development bisa dilakukan lebih cepat dengan menggunakan antarmuka visual, Anda bisa menghindari banyak tahapan pemrograman manual yang memakan banyak waktu. Di sisi lain, full code development memerlukan waktu lebih lama karena menulis dan menguji setiap bagian kode.
    
2. Kemudahan Penggunaan
   Low code platform memungkinkan pengembangan tanpa memerlukan pengetahuan mendalam tentang kode. Hal ini sangat cocok untuk tim yang ingin fokus pada ide kreatif tanpa harus berurusan dengan kompleksitas teknis.
   Sebaliknya full code development memerlukan pengalaman dan keterampilan pengkodean yang kuat untuk bisa mengelola dan mengembangkan secara efektif.
    
3. Fleksibilitas dan Kustomisasi
   Full code development memberikan kontrol penuh atas setiap aspek aplikasi, sehingga Anda bisa mengubah dan menyesuaikan platform sesuai dengan kebutuhan spesifik proyek Anda.
   Low code platform lebih terbatas dalam hal ini karena fitur yang tersedia sering kali sudah ditentukan oleh platform yang digunakan.
    
4. Kebutuhan Skill atau Kemampuan Teknis
   Low code platform bisa digunakan oleh non programmer atau developer junior, serta banyak dokumentasi dan template yang dapat mempermudah adopsi,
   Full code development membutuhkan developer yang berpengalaman dalam bahasa pemrograman dan cocok untuk tim teknis profesional.
    
5. Biaya
   Low code platform membutuhkan biaya awal lebih murah, karena proses pengembangan lebih cepat dan bisa dilakukan oleh tim kecil, dan cocok untuk perusahaan kecil hingga menengah atau tim dengan anggaran terbatas.
   Full code development perlu biaya awal lebih besar, karena membutuhkan tim developer, infrastruktur, dan waktu pengembangan lebih lama namun hemat dalam jangka panjang jika sistem terus dikembangkan dan dimiliki sendiri (tanpa biaya lisensi)
    
6. Integrasi Sistem
   Dalam low code platform banyak platform yang mendukung integrasi out of the box (API, database populer, service cloud), namun bisa terbatas jika butuh integrasi dengan sistem legacy atau protokol khusus.
   Untuk full code development integrasi tak terbatas, bisa dihubungkan ke sistem internal, database custom, atau protokol unik, namun membutuhkan waktu dan effort lebih tapi fleksibel.

Keunggulan dan kekurangan Low code dan Full code dalam software development:

1. Low Code
   1. Keunggulan:
      1. Salah satu keunggulan utama low code platform adalah efisiensi dalam proses pengembangan karena memungkinkan developer membangun aplikasi dengan cepat tanpa harus menulis kode dari awal.
         Platform ini juga menawarkan titik tinggi, sehingga dapat dikustomisasi sesuai dengan kebutuhan bisnis yang kompleks.
      2. Low Code mendukung integrasi dengan sistem yang lebih besar, memungkinkan perusahaan untuk menghubungkan aplikasi mereka dengan berbagai layanan pihak ketiga.
      3. Kemampuan dalam mengakomodasi baik pengembang profesional maupun tim bisnis yang ingin terlibat dalam proses pengembangan.
      4. Biaya awal lebih rendah, tidak membutuhkan banyak developer berpengalaman. Platform biasanya sudah menyediakan hosting, database, autentifikasi, dan lain-lain sehingga efisien untuk bisnis kecil menengah atau perusahaan dengan sumber daya terbatas.
   2. Kekurangan:
      1. Meskipun menawarkan permulaan yang tinggi, low code tetap memerlukan keterampilan teknis dalam implementasinya sehingga tidak sepenuhnya dapat digunakan oleh non-developer.
      2. Ketergantungan pada platform low code juga bisa menjadi kendala karena perusahaan harus menyesuaikan diri dengan batasan yang diberikan oleh penyedia layanan.
      3. Dalam proyek yang sangat kompleks, penggunaan low code platform masih memerlukan intervensi developer untuk memastikan aplikasi berjalan sesuai dengan kebutuhan bisnis.
      4. Faktor lainnya adalah potensi masalah keamanan dan skalabilitas jika tidak dirancang dengan benar sejak awal.
      5. Kustomisasi terbatas, tampilan UI, flow data atau struktur database hanya bisa diubah dalam batas tertentu. Jika butuh integrasi spesifik atau algoritma unik, bisa sangat sulit (bahkan tidak bisa dilakukan sama sekali).
          
2. Full Code
   1. Keunggulan
      1. Full code development memiliki keunggulan fleksibilitas tanpa batas, bisa membangun fitur unik dan logika bisnis kompleks sesuai kebutuhan spesifik.
      2. Full code tidak terbatas pada kemampuan atau batasan platform pihak ketiga, dan sangat cocok untuk proyek yang memerlukan algoritma khusus, sistem real-time, AI, atau skala besar,
      3. Full code memiliki kontrol menyeluruh atas semua aspek aplikasi: arsitektur, performa, UI/UX, keamanan, dan deployment, serta dapat menyesuaikan struktur data, routing, autentikasi, enkripsi dan lainnya sesuai standar perusahaan.
      4. Developer bisa memilih sendiri stack teknologi, framework, dan layanan yang digunakan.
   2. Kekurangan
      1. Full code development memerlukan waktu pengembangan lebih lama. Semua komponen dibangun dari nol atau library open-source, mulai dari setup awal, database, logika bisnis, hingga tampilan semuanya perlu dikerjakan manual, sehingga tidak cocok untuk yang butuh hasil cepat atau prototipe instan.
      2. Full code membutuhkan tim dengan skill yang tinggi. Full code harus memiliki developer berpengalaman dalam berbagai bidang seperti backend, frontend, database, keamanan, deployment dan lainnya.
         Kesalahan kecil dalam penulisan kode bisa menyebabkan bug atau celah keamanan.
      3. Full code perlu biaya lebih untuk merekrut developer, arsitek sistem, UI/UX designer, dan tim DevOps, juga perlu investasi untuk infrastruktur seperti server, CI/CD tools, dan lainnya.
      4. Full code cocok untuk investasi jangka panjang, tapi kurang efisien jika hanya untuk solusi cepat atau satu kali pakai.

Software house Indonesia berperan penting dalam membantu bisnis memilih pendekatan software development yang tepat, baik full code development maupun low code platform. Software house Indonesia dapat memberikan saran, konsultasi dan pengalaman yang dibutuhkan untuk menentukan solusi yang paling sesuai dengan kebutuhan bisnis dan tujuan yang ingin dicapai. Software house Indonesia memiliki posisi strategis dalam membantu perusahaan untuk memilih metode pengembangan aplikasi yang efisien, sesuai anggaran, dan selaras dengan tujuan bisnis.

Berikut beberapa peranan software house Indonesia dalam memilih pendekatan yang tepat untuk bisnis Anda:

1. Analisa Kebutuhan Bisnis Secara Mendalam
   Sebelum menentukan pendekatan pengembangan, software house akan menggali tujuan bisnis dan masalah utama yang ingin diselesaikan dengan teknologi. Menilai kompleksitas fitur, target pengguna, dan kebutuhan jangka panjang. Menganalisa anggaran, waktu yang tersedia, dan tingkat urgensi. Dengan ini software house bisa merekomendasikan apakah low code platform sudah cukup atau perlu full code development untuk memenuhi kebutuhan.
    
2. Menyesuaikan Solusi dengan Sumber Daya Perusahaan
   Software house Indonesia akan mempertimbangkan:
   1. Apakah klien memiliki tim IT internal atau bergantung penuh pada pihak eksternal.
   2. Seberapa besar kemampuan dan pengembangan lanjutan dari klien.
   3. Apakah bisnis klien akan terus berkembang (butuh sistem yang bisa di-scale atau dimodifikasi bebas)
      
      Dengan demikian, software house bisa menyarankan pendekatan:
   4. Low Code: jika klien ingin solusi cepat, murah dan mudah dipelihara.
   5. Full Code: jika klien butuh fleksibilitas tinggi dan sistem kompleks.
       
3. Menyediakan Tim Teknis yang Sesuai dengan Pendekatan Terpilih
   Jika klien memilih low code, software house Indonesia akan menyiapkan tim yang menguasai platform low code tertentu (misal: OutSystem, Microsoft Power Platform).
   Jika klien memilih full code, software house akan menyiapkan developer yang ahli dalam teknologi yang relevan (misal: React, Node js, Laravel, Java, Python, dsb).
   Hal ini penting agar pengembangan berjalan efisien dan hasilnya optimal.
    
4. Memberikan Layanan Scalable dan Jangka Panjang
   Software house Indonesia bisa menyusun roadmap teknologi sebagai berikut:
   1. Mulai dari prototipe sederhana (low code) kemudian migrasi ke sistem penuh (full code) jika sistem perlu dikembangkan lebih jauh.
   2. Langsung membangun sistem kustom dengan full code jika dari awal sudah disiapkan untuk pertumbuhan besar.
      Pendekatan bertahap ini membantu bisnis menghemat biaya tanpa kehilangan arah pengembangan.

Kapan harus memilih Low code atau full code untuk proyek Anda?
Berdasarkan kondisi nyata, kebutuhan bisnis dan tujuan jangka panjang dapat dijelaskan sebagai berikut:

Pilih Low Code jika:

1. Proyek butuh cepat jadi.
   Cocok untuk prototipe, MVP atau validasi ide bisnis, dan bisa membangun aplikasi dalam hitungan hari atau minggu.
2. Anggaran terbatas, minim biaya pengembangan awal dan tidak perlu membentuk tim developer besar.
3. Kebutuhan aplikasi sederhana, misal sistem approval internal, dashboard laporan, form digitalisasi dan lainnya, serta tidak membutuhkan logika bisnis yang rumit atau integral kompleks.
4. Tidak ada tim developer internal, sehingga cocok untuk perusahaan yang tidak punya tim IT. Aplikasi tetap bisa dibangun dan dipelihara dengan bantuan vendor atau citizen developer.
5. Skala penggunaan terbatas, aplikasi digunakan oleh tim kecil atau organisasi internal, sehingga tidak butuh skalabilitas tinggi atau performa maksimum.
6. Butuh kolaborasi cepat antar tim IT dan non-IT, analisa bisnis, product owner atau manajer bisa ikutmerancang aplikasi langsung di platform visual.

Pilih Full Code jika:

1. Aplikasi butuh kustomisasi tinggi dan fitur unik. Misal: e-commerce besar, sistem pembayaran, platform AI/ML, game atau aplikasi dengan aturan bisnis kompleks.
2. Skalabilitas dan performa sangat penting, harus mampu melayani ribuan hingga jutaan pengguna dengan stabil.
3. Standar keamanan tinggi, biasanya diperlukan untuk industri seperti fintech, healthtech, e-gov atau sistem data sensitif, memerlukan kontrol penuh atas enkripsi, autentikasi dan audit.
4. Integrasi dengan sistem atau infrastruktur khusus, misal integrasi dengan ERP, SAP, IoT, mesin industri atau API kompleks, yang mana tidak bisa dilakukan secara fleksibel di low code platform.
5. Perusahaan punya rencana teknologi jangka panjang, dimana sistem akan terus dikembangkan, diperluas an disesuaikan. Perlu kendali penuh atas arsitektur dan kode sumber (source code)
6. Tim teknologi internal sudah siap, memiliki developer sendiri dan DevOps sendiri, sehingga mampu melakukan pengembangan, testing dan pemeliharaan berkelanjutan.

Dalam dunia bisnis yang semakin terdigitalisasi, keputusan dalam memilih pendekatan pengembangan aplikasi low code atau full code tidaklah bisa dilakukan sembarangan tanpa pertimbangan.
Setiap pilihan memiliki konsekuensi terhadap biaya, waktu, skalabilitas, keamanan dan masa depan sistem.
Disinilah peran software house Indonesia menjadi sangat penting. Software house Indonesia tidak hanya membangun aplikasi, tetapi juga bertindak sebagai konsultan teknologi strategis yang memahami kebutuhan spesifik industri lokal, keterbatasan sumber daya bisnis, dan arah pertumbuhan perusahaan.

No companies are prepared for COVID-19 outbreak.

When the earliest cases of the novel coronavirus were found December last year, no one could have predicted that the pandemic will lead us to the environment we are currently living and working in, and that the situation will escalate so quickly in just a few months.

The implementation of PSBB or Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (Large-scale Social Restrictions) and strong encouragement of work from home policies has caused businesses from accross different sectors to falters, resulting in economic disruption that has caused more than 2 millions of Indonesian workers being laid off and placed on furlough.

With the vaccine has yet to be found, social distancing may remain in place for a longer time. Harvard Researchers even predicted that in US, intermittent distancing may be required into 2022 unless a treatment or vaccine becomes available. Given examples of South Korea and Singapore, effective distancing is essentials because it could reduce the strain on health care systems and enable contact tracing and quarantine to be feasible.

Wearing a facemask, social distancing and frequent hand-washing will become parts of the ‘new normal’ from now on, said the head of the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPD) who is also the head of the National COVID-19 Task Force.

However, prolonged distancing may have negative economic consequences that will lead to a global recession, where 1.1 million to 3.78 million of Indonesian people could fall into poverty, and 2.9 million to 5.2 million workers could lose their jobs.

To keep your business afloat and recover from the impact caused by the corona virus pandemic, it is important to ensure that everyone is healthy and productive. In the past few months, many businesses has undergone digital transformation and incorporate new technologies and strategies as a way to remain productive and effective under highly challenging circumstances.

As one of the leading system integrator in Indonesia, BTS.id is ready to support your IT needs for digital transformation in two ways:

1. Project-Based

In a project-based model, a dedicated team is assigned to handle the whole process of a project, from the beginning to the end. The team may consist of people with all of the skills required to take care of the project, such as software developers, UI/UX designers, software testers, project managers, etc. Usually, one team will focus on managing no more than two projects at the same time, making it a suitable option for companies with no internal IT team.

By adopting this model, you will be able to bring together people with different skillsets at a more reasonable cost. Furthermore, with the team focus on less deliverable, they can also be more productive and less distracted, which is crucial for the success of the project.

2. Team-based Outsourcing

With a team-based outsourcing, you are the one who manage the project. A distributed team or personnel will contribute to your projects, which can be two or more at the same time. Unlike the project-based outsourcing, this outsourcing model allows you to hire both a specific team member and a full, complete team. Whether it is just a developer, UI/UX designer, or a software tester, you can hire only the people you need for your projects.

The team-based outsourcing model allows the team members to switch from one task to another across multiple projects, therefore more agile and flexible. As an additional support, this solution is recommended for companies that already have their own in-house IT team.

Why work with BTS.id?

1. Remote software development with strict procedural rules
