The number of business applications have been growing at a rapid pace, resulting in an increased demand for low-code solutions. Although their advantage lies in simplicity, certain rules and competences are necessary to achieve productivity. Zsolt Bátorfi, Chief Cloud Adoption Advisor provides an introduction into Microsoft Power Apps and its benefits.

An exceptional amount of personal application is being developed and released every week for our mobile devices, and we are used to having updates for them regularly. However, this phenomenon can be in sharp contrast with regular business applications where updates, integrations with new software, development of new functions cost time and money for the company. At a certain point, it becomes inevitable to reconsider how existing solutions answer current business needs, and in some cases, favour the development of multiple, but smaller modules instead of complex software.

The need to implement a custom application often comes from the employee who would actually use them. They have the advantage of understanding the challenges and the exact needs within their team. With Microsoft Power Apps they receive the tools to be app builders and create the solution in the most fitting way. Additionally, by empowering the employees, business can improve employee engagement and retain their talents.

With Power Apps there are ready to use solutions and processes, eliminating the need of an external and huge developer team. However, it requires competencies to understand the application as a solution. That is why we believe the company’s internal readiness is the number one priority when implementing low-code applications.  

• We provide readiness sessions to your employees to understand the capabilities of Power Apps and enable them becoming ‘app-makers’
• We propose the most effective approach for your company based on our extensive experience with Power Apps
• We offer complex support in the process of app development from function to UX and analytics
• We support you to establish audit and compliance processes through Microsoft Power Platform Center of Excellence for standards, consistency, and governance

When a company starts to implement low-code applications they usually experience success and immediate result. However, on the long run, more challenges could surface regarding how to handle the process internally and maintain productivity.

• We develop certain, tailor-made modules you can implement into your application
• We allocate additional resources when the number of applications needed is increasing within your company, resolving scalability issues
• We connect your existing systems with the new apps seamlessly, so your company doesn’t lose valuable data
• We ensure the applications are according to the approved style and branding, by developing a knowledge center

The number of challenges that can be addressed by Power Apps are almost endless. From desk-booking to organizing webinars all sorts of business processes can be automated in a short time providing competitive advantage to any business.
