Summary
In this episode of Lowdown on Low-code, hosts Rob Koplowitz and John Rymer engage with Raveesh Dewan, CEO of Joget, to discuss the critical role of a Center of Excellence (COE) in the adoption of low-code platforms. Raveesh shares his journey into the low-code space, the evolution of Joget, and the importance of establishing a COE to facilitate technology adoption within organizations. The conversation covers the challenges of setting up a COE, the necessary investment and commitment, the roles within a COE, and the relationship between COE and IT.
