Google announced recently the acquisition of AppSheet, a no-code application development platform specifically geared for the use of businesses.

Enterprises are constantly thinking of ways to serve customers better and faster than before. Having applications is one of the ways to ensure that customers have quick access to brands and services. This is the primary reason Google decided to acquire AppSheet.

The technology giant believes that businesses can take advantage of their services without the need for any technical skills. Companies can utilize its manpower or what Google calls “citizen developers” to easily create and extend applications even without professional coding skills.
