Why PowerApps is a great solution in times of COVID-19
The last few weeks has put businesses in a strange situation. While mostly working from their individual homes, teams and businesses are struggling to collect data and/ or to communicate efficiently. This situation is largely familiar and Power Apps comes to the rescue. Power Apps, a smart no-code application development platform from Microsoft. The users have the confidence to create great solutions without the hassles of coding and reaching out to tech support.
Experience shows that Apps are usually both time consuming to develop and costly. To add to it customisation is always a challenge, more so when it doesn’t function the way, one imagined it to be, once the data is migrated into the app. This causes a lot of heartburn and makes abandon the App quickly rather than becoming a consumer. But this is not the case with Power Apps. So without the time and cost implications of a custom app development, one can start building a Canvas App on Power Apps with easy drag and drop functionality, keeping the end user in mind. Just like how you would do a slider in a PowerPoint. Specially in times like these, one can quickly create an app for sending out company wide information or have reports and activities from respective teams easily. Security is also not a challenge because PowerApps comes from Microsoft and these apps can be accessed across platforms.
Rather than depending on external resources and/ or internal tech teams, one can quickly make any Canvas App and start using it. There are added advantages as well like if you are already using Dynamics 365, office 365, SharePoint etc, Power Apps can (using CDS) help in collecting data and disseminate to all relevant teams in the business.
PowerApps makes a strong case for organizations which are already using the Microsoft platform for data. If you have a great idea for your business you can write to us for a free consultation to know more, how PowerApps can help you.
