Power App Development

Canvas Apps are highly creative with a strong focus on user experience and engagement. Our User Experience designers bring canvas apps to life with an exceptional branded experience that streamlines complex legacy processes.
Legacy business processes are often slow and difficult to follow. Using Power Apps, these processes are simplified, modernised, trained, and deployed with bespoke steps and pathways for each specific use case.
Although the needs of an organisation can change over time, some applications remain too important to remove altogether. Power Apps allows these existing applications to be incorporated into your application lifecycle so they can be enhanced, tested, and released seamlessly back into your ecosystem.
If you’re still using email for approvals, chasing employees for signed copies of documents, or rekeying data into multiple business systems, Power Platform can provide transformational improvements.
Your Guide to Microsoft Power Apps
Find quick answers to get the most out of your Power Apps.
Microsoft Power Apps is a low-code platform that allows users to create custom business applications to streamline processes and enhance productivity.
Power Apps can be shared with other users by assigning appropriate permissions and sharing the app link. Users can access the app through the Power Apps portal or mobile app.
Power Apps uses connectors to link to external data sources such as SharePoint, SQL Server, and Excel. These connectors facilitate seamless data integration and interaction within the app.
Microsoft Power Apps offers several pricing plans. It is often included with business licenses, so your organisation may already have access to Power Apps if you’re using Microsoft 365.
Additional costs may apply if you exceed the data or file storage limits included in your plan or if you choose to add premium connectors.
User authentication in Power Apps can be implemented using Azure Active Directory (AAD) or other identity providers. This ensures that only authorised users can access the app and its data.
