Microsoft PowerApps Accelerate How Business Apps are Built

The way we do work today is fundamentally different than the days before mobile devices. Now, work happens on our phones, tablets and laptops everywhere we go: on manufacturing floors, in airplanes or at customer meetings. The mobile revolution, together with nearly limitless compute and data in the cloud, has transformed our professional experience.

And yet, the apps we use to do business have been slow to keep pace with employee demand. While companies are increasingly turning to SaaS solutions for specific scenarios like CRM, travel and HR, using services like Microsoft Dynamics, Concur or Workday, most business app scenarios remain locked on premises, dependent on corporate connected PCs. Too often, they’re not optimized for mobile, not easily integrated with other services, and not accessible when and where people need them most – on the device they want to use in that moment. The business app category continues to lag consumer app scenarios in terms of richness and ubiquity.

PowerApps is an enterprise service to the app developer everywhere. We can connect, create and share the business apps with your team on any device (Mobile, Laptop, Tab). Microsoft PowerApps was introduced by Microsoft Windows Azure to build applications on all platforms like Windows, iOS, Android mobile devices. It helps us to make a custom app also.

It’s a Software as a Service (SAS) solution that allows companies to build business apps fast and efficiently. In PowerApps, you can generate an app automatically, customize it, create an app from templates, and share and run the apps. Here, others also create and share their apps with you.
