Top 10 PowerApps that will help skyrocket your digital transformation

Digital transformation is the inevitable future of humanity. It is what innovators keep working hard to achieve. Speed, access to information, more accessible and cheaper communication are just a few benefits that we already enjoy from past digital transformations. Now more than ever, digital innovations are taking center stage and even rocking the business world.

The growing number of internet users and online customer trends have made it a necessity for businesses to move online. This also creates unique problems such as customer registration and customer data management. Companies that have digitized their industry and product also enjoy enhanced presence and publicity, wider marketing reach, and a stronger customer base, compared to non-digitized companies.

The difference in scalability, growth rate, and competitive edge is so significant that businesses now see digitization as a requirement for success. Digitization is also a secure method to cross national borders and reach the global market.

IT innovations continue to rock every economic sphere in society. The various tech giants seem to have recognized that creating powerful software based on innovative ideas would quickly transform the business world. Microsoft appears to be at the forefront, creating and upgrading business software at every turn.

The supply of Dynamics, PowerBi, and Azure has found super-efficient applications to grow businesses and increase productivity. Another innovative product is Microsoft’s PowerApps. PowerApps makes use of creative tools to breakdown skill boundaries that have been unchallenged for decades. The benefits it provides are geared towards ensuring that businesses are successful, and the rate of digitization is enhanced.

1) PowerApps

PowerApps is a Microsoft software designed for businesses, analysts, and software developers to create unique software tools for business and enterprise. PowerApps is designed to function on Microsoft’s Power Platform. The application is equipped with numerous templates and preset codes to enable regular individuals to build creative software solutions with little programming skills required.

Microsoft understands that the usual out-of-box, commercial applications are unsuitable for providing solutions to the unique problems and obstacles that face various business groups. PowerApps users can build creative solutions in as little as ten minutes.

Creating specialized apps has proven itself to be a significant advantage for businesses. Task automation becomes easily applicable once a simple app is created to complete a specialized task with efficiency and speed. This ten-minute software crafting has been reported to save over 70% in the cost of designing and creating enterprise applications, speed up workflows, and increase the productivity of employees.

Users can use PowerApps with little training to develop innovative tools converting ideas into working tools. Skilled developers can also take advantage of this platform to create high-quality apps with minimal investment of time and resources. PowerApps can build apps in two methods. The first uses a simple, user-friendly interface that makes use of 'drag' and 'drop' options on a plain 'canvas.'

This visualization is what makes the app building process simple and intuitively easy to learn. Apps created with this method are called canvas apps. The second method builds custom commands and features using an Excel-like format to craft controls and workflows. Apps created on PowerApps can be embedded into other applications such as Dynamics 365, PowerBi, and Flow.

The platform has over 200 connections to other platforms where data can be mined and analyzed on a single application. Apps built on PowerApps depend on the Common Data Service (CDS) framework. The CDS framework gives app builders access to commands and component templates such as preset Forms, Business Process Flows, Business Rules, and Custom Control. The benefits of this system include high compatibility, interoperability, and building speed.

Digitization makes use of digital tools to find solutions to regular problems. For a business, digitization means recording data, communication tools, and workflow monitoring. Digitization aims at increasing productivity and efficiency, developing innovative solutions with digital tools.

PowerApps provides the necessary tools and platform to speed up the digitization process for any business.

A business can convert its physical transactions and records on paper into digital constructs that ensure ease of access and efficiency of procedures. Examples of PowerApps abound on the shared platform where developers come together to show off their new builds and share ideas on new designs and styles.

4) Acena

Acena is the actualization of a creative innovator. Employers are saddled with the responsibility of scheduling vacations for their employees. If they approve too many vacations requests, the business becomes understaffed. If they approved too few, they risk reducing job satisfaction. Acena not only digitizes the vacation application and authorization process, but it also automates it. Making it easy to create a schedule that fits everyone.
