Low Code Development with Microsoft PowerApps and Flow

A lot of organizations still face difficulties when building business apps. Even though a lot of products, solutions and platforms are available on the market, it is still challenging to find the right resources, maintain an agile delivery method and face the complexity of application and data integration.

With the rise of low code app platforms, a new trend is evolving: the citizen developer. These platforms make it possible to easily build cross-operating system business apps, through an intuitive business-driven interface. The advantages are huge: little know-how of coding needed, increased speed of delivery, low delivery cost, and so on.

With the launch of the Microsoft Business Application Framework, which includes Power BI as well as PowerApps, Flow and the Common Data Service, Microsoft has heavily invested into their low code app platform. The term ‘low code app platform’ is even an understatement, as it not only focuses on building apps but also on business analytics, business automation and low code data & application integration. This makes it the ideal platform for the citizen developer!

During this seminar we will take a closer look at the low code business application platform and more specifically at Microsoft PowerApps, Flow and the Common Data Service. Prepare yourself for these revolutionary technologies by attending this in-depth afternoon seminar.
