About Microsoft Power Platform Development

There are a range of low-code software development platforms available to choose from. At App Consultants, we believe that the Microsoft Power Platform, including Power Apps, Power Automate and Power BI, combined with the Dataverse common data service model, will provide all of the functionality and extensibility that many businesses will need, before they grow into a fully customised solution, whereby any work done at this stage of the project, will be easily transportable, at a far lower cost, into any advanced technology project in the future.

The Microsoft power platform is fast becoming a leader in the low-code development platform market and provides a comprehensive collection of low-code development tools that meet or exceed the capabilities found in some of the current leading low code platforms.

When PowerApps was launched in January 2017 as an integration with SharePoint and Office 365 to create business solutions for mobile devices, the low-code development platform was still beginning to take shape.

Since 2017, Microsoft PowerApps has continued to add features and functionality allowing it to evolve into the Microsoft Power Platform which includes Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Virtual Agents and Power BI.

The Power Platform, at its core, is essentially a Platform as a Service (PaaS) that allows you to create mobile apps that run on all modern devices and browsers.

Traditionally, mobile app development has involved creating separate apps for each mobile operating system or a web app that may provide cross-platform functionality at the cost of features in some cases. The app development process traditionally doubles or triples the workload, support costs and development resources needed to create business apps.

With the Microsoft Power Platform and Power Apps, the platform created applications essentially run in a container through the PowerApps App and in a web browser, providing complete cross-platform functionality.

Benefits of Building Apps With Power Apps

  • Line of Business Connectors
  • Data Source Independent
  • Process Automation
  • Quick Turnaround
  • Easy Maintenance

Power Platform provides the opportunity to transform your key legacy applications and processes or replace and modernise legacy processes while extending their functionalities far beyond their current performance.
