Why do financiers struggle with no code and low code technology adoption?
Low and no-code software is testing the limits of IT handholding. IT departments must continually intervene to clean up messes, while business users may need help managing their software. There’s no stopping the wave of low-code and no-code activities sweeping many companies — used by data citizens and professionals. The capabilities delivered by these tools keep expanding. It’s only a question of how deep and wide low and no-code development can go in the enterprise — whether it’s still more suitable for smaller, less-scalable applications or is ready for a greater enterprise reach.
Gartner says low-code / no-code tools are already enterprise-ready, where outside of IT departments, other users will account for at least 80% of the low-code tools – up from 60% in 2021!
Some of the limitations of low code, no code technologies are templates run the show, it is not an easy learning curve, there is limited security, they’re never cheap nor scalable, integrations are complex, and there is never good eLearning or training providing for upskilling. This adoption – or lack thereof – is no different for Corporate Departments and, namely, Finance teams. For example, the role of the financiers has shifted quite dramatically from an Excel-only based analyst reporting to low code / no code data visuals and analytical tools such as Alteryx, Tableau and PowerBI. What training has been provided? Sometimes none. IT has secured the budgets, e.g. full Microsoft 365 suite, the CFO thinks it’s a good idea / approves and then what happens is the newly acquired software is exposed to users with little to no training who aren’t overly technically savvy, and these licenses soon become latent or “shelfware” (i.e., underutilized, expensive software sitting on an organization IT tech-stack).
According to Gartner, at any point in time, IT operations may be running with 25% plus of software going unused.
The problem is that only 40% of organizations implementing low code / no code tools “achieve full-scale end-user adoption”, CSO Insights found.
In monetary terms, if a company pays for 50 Alteryx licenses for their Finance teams * $5k per license = $250k. If the take up of these licenses goes unused, that is a lot of costs sitting on an IT real estate.
This is where Kubicle can help and partner with these vendors like Alteryx and Tableau to address his very issue. With Alteryx, for example, Kubicle learners are taught how to build custom data workflows using Alteryx in their own time, using our unique bite-sized learning format. Our 100% online, CPE, and CPD-accredited Alteryx training covers everything from entry-level skills to the advanced techniques to succeed.
Why Learn Alteryx with Kubicle?
Alteryx is a powerful data transformation and analysis tool that empowers users to import, manipulate and analyze complex datasets. These courses will have you quickly up and running as an Alteryx user. We also have an applicability initiative called Projects. Projects are simulated business scenarios that test a learner’s capability to apply the concepts taught in a collection of Kubicle courses. Before practising newfound skills in the real world, they can do so in the safety of a sandbox environment.

For nearly a decade, Kubicle has set new benchmarks in corporate training, empowering over one million learners across more than 1,000 enterprises worldwide. The mission has always been to foster valuable, measurable skills that drive organizational success.
However, teaching new skills alone isn’t enough to create lasting change. To bridge the gap between learning and real-world impact, businesses require more robust, integrated approaches. That’s why Academies+ has been developed—an innovative blended learning program designed to transform skill acquisition into tangible outcomes.
Why Blended Digital Learning?
In recent times, an additional challenge has emerged: the rapid acceleration of change, especially in technology. The production timelines for eLearning courses often struggle to keep pace with product development, nowhere more obviously than in the domain of Generative AI. As a result, a course being developed today may already be outdated by its release—regardless of how short the production cycle is.
Blended learning tackles these challenges by merging the advantages of eLearning with hands-on, real-world applications. Likewise, virtual classrooms led by industry-leading SMEs offer an effective platform for delivering consistently up-to-date content. This approach enhances knowledge retention while ensuring accuracy and smooth integration into daily workflows.
How It Works: The Academies+ Formula: Self-paced eLearning + Virtual Classrooms & Workshops + Impact Coaching + Impact Project = Maximized Organizational Impact
Learners start by exploring foundational concepts at their own pace with self-guided eLearning. This flexible format allows them to absorb and reflect on the material before moving on to interactive virtual classrooms. Here, subject matter experts and peers provide fresh insights, helping to deepen understanding through discussion and collaboration.
The experience continues with hands-on workshops, where learners put their new skills to the test in a practical setting, guided by experts. But the real differentiator of Academies+ lies in its final components: the Impact Project and the Impact Coach.
The Impact Project is where learning meets real-world impact. Through the Impact Project, learners will address genuine business challenges and make a measurable difference. With the support of an Impact Coach, participants develop a project tailored to their organization’s needs, applying their newly acquired skills to solve genuine problems and deliver tangible results.
With Kubicle’s Academies+, we don’t just train—we transform, turning learning into a strategic asset for your organization.
