Before we´re getting started

Aligning on our Digital Feedback Loop

Challenges in building business applications

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

Packaged applications

are the fastest way

But no application is

exactly what you need:

And sometimes there is

no “app for that:”

What if we were

continuously engaged with

our customers and could

proactively and

preemptively respond to

their needs?

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 we empower our

employees with innovative

tools that enable them to

provide outstanding service,

while facilitating them to

collaborate and share?

What if all our business

operations could focus

more on quickly bringing

innovative and valuable

products and services to

market, increasing our

competitive advantage?

Unquantified benefits

Source: Forrester - The Total Economic Impact™ Of PowerApps And Microsoft Flow, June 2018

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 real-

time.

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.

Quantifiable benefits

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 pre-

existing 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.
