Problem statement. Traditional information systems development requires in-depth knowledge of programming, databases and application architecture, which limits the accessibility of the process to non-professionals and creates a barrier for many organisations. Low-code platforms offer design with minimal coding, but the question remains as to how effective it will be for different users to build information systems on their own and what factors may influence this. Goal. To analyze the peculiarities of low-code platform application in the technology of information system design by users with different level of training and to offer recommendations for optimization of system development process. Results. The peculiarities of use and architecture of the domestic low-code platform, advantages and disadvantages of designing on it are defined. The importance of the system approach to process modelling in the context of low-code development is substantiated. The key aspects of modelling and basic notations are considered, it is shown how they influence the efficiency and flexibility of information systems. The synthesised technology of information system design on low-code platform is presented, based on the stages of which the efficiency of the process is evaluated by the method of calculating labour costs. Practical significance. The results of the study make it possible to identify the real potential of low-code platforms to reduce the dependence of organisations on professional developers and reduce the time and cost of development. The identified barriers and success factors for users with different levels of training will allow platform owners and educational institutions to create more effective functionality and training materials. The paper also provides a comparative analysis of existing process modelling notations, which identified BPMN 2.0 as the most suitable for low-code development.
