On the Dynamic Consultants Group blog, we love highlighting the possibilities for targeted solutions based on the Power Platform. The Power Platform includes Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power BI. Within the Power Apps portfolio are both model-driven and Canvas apps.
Model-driven apps are full-featured solutions like Dynamics 365 (the largest model-driven app), while Canvas apps meet a more specific business requirement. A few examples of this are the Expense Tracker app and 360 Customer View, both Canvas apps developed by our in-house team.
The beauty of the Power Apps platform is the ability to stand up applications with a significantly reduced development time. No prior coding experience is required. Microsoft calls a new wave of Power App creators “citizen developers.” These citizen developers are critical to the company’s goal of 500 million new applications over the next five years. These apps leverage the full power of the Microsoft 365 portfolio.
Microsoft has provided several templates that can be used by organizations free of charge. Today we’re highlighting Meeting Capture.
