In the episode, Andrew explores how "citizen developers," professionals outside of core IT, are becoming a vital force in financial organizations, empowered to build solutions that directly address their business needs. He explains how 3forge's platform enables this shift by democratizing access to real-time insights, analytics, and visualization tools, allowing teams to innovate faster without heavy reliance on centralized IT resources.
