From productivity apps that empower collaboration to mission-critical solutions, businesses around the world are deploying Power Apps to automate processes, modernise legacy apps, and solve business problems at scale.
As a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Low-Code Applications, Power Apps enables everyone to build professional business applications the easy way.
Increase agility across your business by rapidly building low-code apps that modernise legacy processes and solve tough challenges.
Get Started Instantly
Anyone with a Power Apps licence building and launching apps right away utilising prebuilt templates, or the platforms user friendly drag-and-drop functionality, before a quick deployment— and always , continuous improvements as needed.
Applications Without Compromise
Anyone with a business challenge and a willingness to learn a new skill can build the apps they need with advanced functionality previously only available to professional developers—including pre-built AI components.
Offer Developers the Tools they Need
Whilst the platform provides anyone the tools they need to build low code apps, it can also provide professional developers the tools to seamlessly extend app capabilities with Azure Functions and custom connectors to proprietary or on-premises systems. Power Apps drives business transformation
Make it easy for anyone in your organisation to build apps for your teams and customers.
By consolidating to a single, cost-effective platform that’s robust and scales to your needs, you set the amount you invest in application development, not a third party.
Quickly create and deploy apps in days—without having to write code—utilising a library of prebuilt templates and the rich drag-and-drop functionality to build the applications you need.
Accelerate adoption and training with free online learning resources and tutorials. Including access to Mircosoft Learn and it’s online day courses where you can learn how to use the platform in a single day.
Give developers the ability to add deeper functionality and capabilities to websites with tools like Visual Studio Code, GitHub, and Azure DevOps.
Power Apps lets your users and people who understand your business but aren’t trained as pro developers create applications on their own.
This approach is undoubtadely popular today with more than 500,000 organisations use Microsoft low-code tools right now, including 97% of the Fortune 500.
Gartner predicts that by 2025, 70% of enterprise application development will use low-code technology. Yet getting the most from low-code development implies more than just training everyday users. By partnering with the right company, you can gain access to pro developers that can work with these users to accelerate value creation.
The real power in using a low-code application platform comes from collaboration between these two groups. Combining low-code and pro-code. This fusion development of adopting low-code development enhanced by professional developers enables quick, deployment with proper documentation, that can be built upon and modernised as your company grows.
We recently took this approach on a project with Calmac Ferries, building upon the functionality created by a user, to build a robust defect management application that will servce their fleet for years to come. You can read it here.
Many organisations have apps which were built by an individual who is no longer at the company and now it is not maintained properly. We have worked with clients before with this challenge and have advised it’s time to modernise the app.
The benefits of modernising is that your new app can reflect any changes in use since it was built, be more secure and supported by a team so that if one leaves. you are not at any risk.
With our indepth knowledge of the Power Platform, we can modernise your business apps so they are secure, updated and supported. Below is our process for building your new app.
Our team takes the time to understand what the app does, any errors with the current system, any additional functionality you’d like to include, and how to improve the code to avoid future errors.
Once we have approved the functional spec of the new app. Our team get to work building it to achieve the agreed functionality. Then we test to ensure that the app will stand up to rigorous use.
Finally we hand the app over to you to start using in your day-to-day roles. We provide training on how to best utilise the app. Once you are comfortable with it, we will take feedback on any final tweaks before we push it live for all users.
