If your small or mid-sized business needs a custom app, Microsoft's Power Apps platform offers
an easy, fast, and cost-efficient way to develop professional apps.
If you own or manage a small business, you know that optimizing and streamlining your processes will help make you more efficient and reduce your costs overall. However, you may find that your existing system cannot quickly solve specific processes and business challenges. Sometimes there isn’t an out-of-the-box solution or app for your unique challenge – and only a custom app can best solve the issue, which can be pricy and time-consuming for an SMB. This is where low-code development can help.
What is low-code development?
Low-code development is a visual approach to software development. Low-code abstracts and automates every step of the application lifecycle to enable rapid delivery of a variety of software solutions. This reduces traditional hand-coding, which means app development is not restricted to only developers and breaks down the traditional silos between business and IT. According to Gartner, it is estimated that 65% of all app dev will be low code by 2024.
What is Microsoft Power Apps?
Power Apps is a low-code development platform by Microsoft that lets you build professional custom apps quickly, affordably, and efficiently and drives business efficiency. It accelerates app development with pre-built templates and drag-and-drop simplicity that extend app capabilities without limits with customizable components when you need them.
It also connects apps to your data with the click of a button, so you’re always ready to act on new insights, all without compromising your security, governance, and compliance standards.
4 reasons Power Apps could be right for your business:
1. You can build your custom apps in-house
You have talented people on your staff—empower them to do more! All your employees can become citizen developers and problem solvers. Eliminate the IT skills gap so your team can build apps with minimal training.
Learn the intuitive drag-and-drop visual building approach
Rely on the managed, pre-built platform with built-in integration
Empower existing IT teams to build more solutions, faster with no limits
Leverage free online resources to keep the learning barrier and cost of training low
