Everest PEAK Matrix 2025 & practical dialog: How companies get off to a good start with low-code
The Everest Group PEAK Matrix® 2025 - Low-Code Platforms (Focus on User Engagement) provides a well-founded, data-based educated guess for classifying the low-code market. Vision & Capability and Market Impact are evaluated - not market share alone.
One remarkable result: HCL software is positioned as a leader, although its market share is currently still lagging behind some established platform providers. According to Everest, the decisive factors are in particular
high quality in UX and design customizability
Strong PWA and offline capabilities
very positive customer feedback on collaboration and reliability
This point in particular makes the classification strategically interesting: reputation and actual customer benefits weigh more heavily in the evaluation than pure distribution.
From an analyst's perspective to implementation practice
What does this classification mean in concrete terms for companies that want to start with low-code?
This is exactly what HCL and PixelMechanics discuss in a joint YouTube conversation. The focus is not on product demos, but on practical questions:
Why low-code is gaining relevance right now
What typical mistakes companies make when getting started
What a sensible starting point looks like (governance, use cases, architecture)
Why platform selection is less important than process model and clarity of objectives
The Everest PEAK Matrix offers strategic orientation
The dialog with HCL translates this perspective into actionable steps
Low-code is not a tool issue, but an organizational and architectural entry point. This is precisely where it is decided whether platforms can develop their potential.
