>big cost center that operates slowly and takes a lot of effort to keep functioning This is pretty much the reason why companies want to replace their IT teams with business analysts who can use low-code/no-code. I understand why, they don't see IT as their core function. It's not how they make money, and in many cases, IT is where they lose money. If a company can have its own business people create reports, automate tasks, etc., using tools like Power BI and Power Automate, why would they need to hire a separate IT team just for that?
