In an increasingly fast-paced business world, companies need to organise their processes efficiently and react flexibly to changes. Microsoft Power Apps is a low-code platform that makes it possible to create customised applications – without in-depth programming knowledge. This powerful technology offers companies the opportunity to automate their workflows, improve collaboration and drive digital transformation.
What is Microsoft Power Apps?
Microsoft Power Apps is a user-friendly development platform with which organisations can create their own applications. It is particularly suitable for “citizen developers”, i.e. users without in-depth IT knowledge who can quickly develop applications using drag-and-drop functions and ready-made templates. Power Apps is fully integrated into the Microsoft ecosystem and can be seamlessly connected to tools such as Dynamics 365, Teams, SharePoint and Excel.
