Newgen Software has been recognised as a Notable Vendor in Forrester's AppGen and Low-Code Platforms Landscape for the second quarter of 2026. The report reviewed 40 vendors in the application generation and low-code platforms market.
The recognition places Newgen among suppliers in a segment increasingly used by chief information officers and application owners to assess vendors offering app generation and low-code software development tools.
Forrester defines app generation and low-code platforms as software development toolsets that use artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate the creation, editing and release of applications. According to the report, these products allow both developers and non-developers to use prompts, visual methods, declarative techniques and other AI-assisted tools to generate software. Many also create back-end workflows and AI agents.
The report adds that companies can use these platforms to help citizen developers create applications, agents and workflows, while speeding professional software development and extending development programmes across the wider business.
Use cases
As part of the report, vendors identified the three extended use cases they focus on most. Newgen selected AI agent development, integration layer only and task automation.
Newgen said its platform is designed to manage applications, agents and workflows within a governed environment for professional and citizen developers. It added that its focus on AI agent development, system integration and task automation is intended to keep software connected and governed across large organisations.
The market described in the report reflects a broader shift in low-code software towards AI-led development and wider enterprise deployment. Forrester describes the category as an emerging market in which application generation and so-called vibe-coding or vibe-engineering are now core functions, alongside agentic support across the software development lifecycle.
That framing suggests buyers are looking beyond tools that simply help users build applications quickly. Instead, the emphasis is shifting towards platforms that fit within broader operational controls, development standards and integration requirements.
Runki Goswami, Chief Marketing Officer at Newgen Software, commented on the listing in the report. "To us, the recognition in Forrester's AppGen and Low-Code Platforms Landscape reflects the growing importance of platforms that move beyond rapid app generation to a controlled, connected, and outcome-driven environment across intelligent enterprises. Organisations today are not evaluating AppGen platforms on generation speed alone. They are evaluating how these platforms fit within a governed, enterprise-wide execution model. The real challenge is not generation, but orchestration, ensuring that applications, agents, and workflows are securely integrated, compliant, and continuously adaptable at scale," said Goswami.
Market shift
The report's description of the sector points to the growing role of AI in software development, particularly for organisations seeking to widen access to application building beyond specialist engineering teams. In that model, low-code and app generation tools are positioned not only as productivity software for developers but also as a way for business users to participate in creating workflows and applications.
Newgen has sought to align itself with that trend by highlighting orchestration and governance rather than app creation alone. Its description of its software centres on combining content, process and communications in a single layer, with embedded intelligence and controls intended for large enterprises.
Recognition in a market landscape report differs from a ranked evaluation or endorsement, but such listings are often used by software vendors to signal visibility in a category that is still taking shape. In this case, the report offers technology buyers a broad survey of suppliers operating in app generation and low-code platforms, rather than a shortlist of preferred providers.
For Newgen, the mention comes as software providers compete to define how generative AI, workflow automation and low-code development fit together inside large organisations. The three use cases it highlighted in the report - AI agent development, integration layer only and task automation - point to a focus on connecting systems and automating work rather than on standalone app design tools.
Forrester said the market now offers companies "a core platform for enterprise-wide development."
