4 Challenges in building business applications

5 Imagine one low-code/no-code platform could close the gaps One connected platform that empowers everyone to innovate

6 Packaged applications are the fastest way But no application is exactly what you need: And sometimes there is no app for that: PowerApps Flow Power BI PowerApps Flow Power BI

7 Enable efficient business operations Customer Focused Employee- Centric Operational excellence Faster Product Innovation What if we were continuously engaged with our customers and could proactively and preemptively respond to their needs? What if we empower our employees with innovative tools that enable them to provide outstanding service, while facilitating them to collaborate and share? What if we had an enterprise-wide intelligent operations center that provided the insights we need to streamline operations and achieve greater efficiency in all our businesses processes? What if all our business operations could focus more on quickly bringing innovative and valuable products and services to market, increasing our competitive advantage?

8 Unquantified benefits Streamlining and automating processes delivers business transformation and improved business outcomes. Interviewees described many ways that their businesses have improved. This includes happier customers, reduced time-to-market, and revenue protection. Because these benefits can vary greatly from one organization to the next, they were not included in the financial analysis Employees can make better and faster decisions from better access to information. Much of the development work completed with PowerApps and Flow enables faster collection of information from firstline workers and transferal to decision makers in a more usable format. This, in turn, means that better decisions are made based on data sets that are larger and closer to realtime. PowerApps and Flow empowers users which increase employee satisfaction. Both IT and business users can now more efficiently and effectively create applications that deliver business value. In many cases, these applications would never have been built without these tools. This gives users more control over their work and enables them to eliminate repetitive and annoying manual activities. Additional value is realized with other Microsoft solutions, such as Dynamics CRM and SharePoint, because PowerApps and Flow extend those solutions capabilities. Interviewees described how these solutions, being part of the Microsoft stack, enable them to build on prior investments to create more value. Additionally, tying into the Microsoft Common Data Store (CDS) allows them to easily integrate data across solutions and workflows. Mobile applications developed with PowerApps and Flow are more secure than would likely otherwise have been developed. Because these applications and workflows tie into Active Directory (AD) and other Microsoft security solutions, IT can control permissions at the data and application levels. Additionally, users building in these tools helps to reduce shadow IT. All PowerApps that are built on the Common Data Service for Apps are automatically GDPR compliant.

9 Quantifiable benefits

10 Five reasons why you should consider low-code Using low code development platforms can save companies money, as they don't need to incur the cost of bringing in an external app development team as they are designed to be used by internal teams. Any updates can also be carried out by the internal team. Low code development platforms offer staff "no code" and "low code" options that allow for development by selection (point and click app development). There are also options to enable companies to incorporate preexisting software or develop new customization. Developers should only need to develop code once for every device and the app will run on mobiles, tablets and desktops. Equally they should allow data from multiple databases to be used and accessed in a single app, and the information combined for optimum use in the app design.
