Microsoft’s Power Platform Turns Everyone Into App Devs
Apps are the way of the future, and if you’ve ever looked at proprietary apps for businesses or websites with envy, you’re not alone. But a trio of tools on Microsoft’s Power Platform —
A wide department of human-intensive tasks can be automated and streamlined using workflow principles, which lets your people get back to doing the things that people are good at and machines aren’t. How is this possible? The truth is, PowerApps can be
Power BI, PowerApps, and Power Automate — are empowering average people and business owners with abilities previously only available to tech jockeys and app developers. PowerApps in particular is a robust, intriguing piece of software. The basic idea is simple: Let average folks build business apps without needing coding abilities, a computer science degree, or large amounts of cash to pay to someone who has the first two things.
as simple or complex as you want it to be. It’s a low- coding environment, but there are serious options for adding complexity and robustness to any app you want to create. Or you can keep things simple. It’s really up to you. We should be clear: Will it replace standard coding- based app development for professional app devs? Probably not — so don’t expect to be able to charge money for your app. It’s not designed for that.
Whether you’re trying to reach out to customers, clients, and patients or building something that’s just inside-facing to help speed up things around the office, PowerApps is a powerful tool to have in your box. In fact, for many light users, it’s the only tool they’ll need!
Instead, it’s there to save you money and time with processes you are already doing, and it’s got the flexibility to do so in a wide variety of fields and practices. That means it’s worth checking out and easy to dip your toes into. Who knows — with a tool this simple but this robust, you might end up a lot deeper than you expected.

SPOTLIGHT ON KODY JOHNSON Kody Johnson still remembers the ad that sent him to our website, titled “Technical Support Jedi Wanted for Medical Software.” It appealed to him for several reasons, including the humor. “I have always enjoyed solving complex problems, helping/meeting new people, and getting to learn more,” Kody says. These are all good traits to have in our industry. Kody believes in the value of patience, too. “If you know me, I will always try to find a way to finish something as fast as possible. However, that is not always a good thing, especially in the job I have.” As he points out, you can’t rush to finish a service ticket or ignore what a customer says. When he’s not working, Kody is “usually at home with my puppy, Dixie. She is an 8-month-old English bulldog.” We wish him the best, and Dixie too!
