Below are five simple and quick ways to create a custom business app using the vast capabilities of Power Apps.
Canvas Apps
Microsoft Power Apps is excellent for simple task-based processes with a drag-and-drop interface. It has pre-formatted design components, templates, adjustable forms, presentation, and UI for device scalability. You can use previous or example apps to create your solution.
Model-driven Apps.
Do you have the ability to customize applications in your CRM or ERP system? Can you easily drag and drop customizations, or are complicated workflows required? Microsoft Power Apps can speed up the development process by allowing you to create model-driven apps based on procedural code and processes rather than just a user interface. These apps use data models and interactive components to build a dashboard.
Dataverse by Microsoft
Power Apps have access to Microsoft’s database, including Dynamics 365 data, which can be used to create custom apps and business rules with reusable logic. Dataverse’s data can be directly utilized in Power Apps, making administration and protection easy.
AI-Builder
AI Builder in Power Apps is an optional add-on that enables you to leverage AI without the need for data scientists. It also helps developers quickly create and train AI models. The best part is that you can use Power App without being an AI specialist.
Portals
Power apps can be used to build external websites for all stakeholders, making accessing the information they need easier.
Microsoft Power Apps can expedite the development of applications.
Connectors Make It Simple to Integrate
Microsoft Power Apps’ drag-and-drop interface simplifies connecting to popular data sources like Office 365, SQL Server, and Dynamics 365. The connector library makes connecting to Twitter easy and saves tweets to SharePoint. Creating an app is quick and easy, taking only a few minutes.
Assimilated Return on Investment
The minimum viable product can take significant time to produce using waterfall and agile methods. However, with Microsoft Power Apps, users don’t need prior programming knowledge to quickly develop apps that can be created in just a few hours.

Automated Power
Power Apps has automated workflows that can be customized to link processes to hundreds of data sources using a library of connectors and Dataverse. This gives you a single source of truth to gain insights and expand the capabilities of Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, and Azure. The number of flows that can be operated each month varies depending on your subscription, but this can be increased if needed.
Governance and Security
The security and governance controls of Microsoft Power Platform are inherited through Office 365 or Azure controls and your company’s corporate authentication settings. The apps are administrated through the Power Platform’s admin Centre to gain the required assistance and control. The platform implements a multi-step security system by granting app, form, and field permissions and access.
Conclusion
Unlike traditional app creation, Power Apps accelerates app development by providing a user-friendly interface. However, to ensure that the technology’s benefits outweigh the drawbacks, a well-planned, easy-to-develop app development plan is required.
