Challenge	Norton Rose Fulbright (NRF), a leading international law firm, was facing several challenges due to its traditional development processes. The business departments’ application requests were communicated to the IT department, which then developed them in isolation. This resulted in slow development cycles, high resource consumption, and solutions that did not truly address the problem. NRF was grappling with increasing client requests for technology workflows and portals, excessive reliance on manual communication processes, slow development cycles, lack of innovation, and dispersed request tracking and ticketing tools. A new approach was needed to develop innovative solutions that addressed the exact business problems. Read More

Solution	NRF adopted a new approach by forming a fusion team for low-code/no-code (LCNC) application development. This team comprised employees from various departments with different expertise, enabling them to collaborate in one development team. The LCNC platform allowed business users without coding experience to participate in the development process, under the governance of the IT department. NRF also adopted agile development processes, building and launching applications rapidly as Minimum Viable Products (MVPs). This approach enabled early detection of issues, necessary adjustments, or problems, thus accelerating iterations. NRF’s latest project was a client-facing application built for a large financial institution. Using the Betty Blocks platform, NRF’s fusion team created a client-facing application that automated the document drafting process, reducing it from 30 hours to 30 minutes.

Challenge

Norton Rose Fulbright (NRF), a leading international law firm, was facing several challenges due to its traditional development processes. The business departments’ application requests were communicated to the IT department, which then developed them in isolation. This resulted in slow development cycles, high resource consumption, and solutions that did not truly address the problem. NRF was grappling with increasing client requests for technology workflows and portals, excessive reliance on manual communication processes, slow development cycles, lack of innovation, and dispersed request tracking and ticketing tools. A new approach was needed to develop innovative solutions that addressed the exact business problems.

Solution

NRF adopted a new approach by forming a fusion team for low-code/no-code (LCNC) application development. This team comprised employees from various departments with different expertise, enabling them to collaborate in one development team. The LCNC platform allowed business users without coding experience to participate in the development process, under the governance of the IT department. NRF also adopted agile development processes, building and launching applications rapidly as Minimum Viable Products (MVPs). This approach enabled early detection of issues, necessary adjustments, or problems, thus accelerating iterations. NRF’s latest project was a client-facing application built for a large financial institution. Using the Betty Blocks platform, NRF’s fusion team created a client-facing application that automated the document drafting process, reducing it from 30 hours to 30 minutes.

Impact #1	The formation of the fusion team and the adoption of LCNC development has empowered NRF to exceed client expectations on timing and delivery, easily onboard new developers, leverage other technologies to create a unified client experience, and integrate all applications with main business applications. Rapid application development has enabled the company to respond quickly to market changes, client needs, and internal issues. NRF has created over 27 no-code applications which optimize internal processes, and customer-facing solutions which support their clients. The fusion team has built up a library of application components and back-ends which can be deployed into various solutions, making each application faster and easier to build than the last. The IT department can easily provide maintenance support, and business users are fully independent in their application development.
