As a society, we use apps to manage, connect and augment our day-to-day lives. So, it\u2019s understandable that when we go to work, we expect to have the same. Apps can help organisations modernise processes, create new innovations and uncover opportunities.<\/p>\n

According to the IDC<\/a>, this growing demand for digital solutions means that 500 million new applications will be built in the next five years. And with a\u00a0shortfall of 4 million developers predicted by 2025<\/a>, most organisations don\u2019t have enough developers to create the apps they need. We call this the\u00a0App Gap Challenge<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

The gap between the number of software developers you have today and the number of software developers you need to build the next generation of apps.<\/p>\n

So how can organisations solve this?<\/p>\n

Low Code No Code platforms like\u00a0Microsoft Power Apps<\/a>\u00a0can help speed up app development and democratise it across the organisation.<\/p>\n

Empower developers to innovate with Low Code No Code Platform<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Microsoft<\/p>\n

Low Code No code solutions<\/a> allow the rapid building of solutions that automate and streamline routine tasks. This allows developers to focus on more high-value, complex work.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0The Total Economic Impact\u2122 Of Power Apps commissioned study by Forrester Consulting,<\/a>\u00a0Power Apps can reduce app development and costs by 74 percent.<\/p>\n

It can also help organisations drive a growth mindset culture in development teams. They can use Power Apps to quickly prototype a new idea and deploy this capability rapidly.<\/p>\n

Take, for example,\u00a0AstraZeneca\u2019s\u00a0HealthyMind app. The biopharmaceutical company wanted to ensure their employees had convenient, secure access to mental health resources. It took the developer team just four months to build the solution on Power Apps.<\/p>\n

A platform like Power Apps can also connect to hundreds of different data sources including Microsoft Dataverse. This brings all your business data together into a single source of truth. Your developers can easily customise and extend capabilities in Azure and leverage business data from your systems of record such as Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Surface through Microsoft 365.<\/p>\n

Microsoft Power Apps<\/strong>: <\/strong>Drive digitisation with citizen development <\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Microsoft<\/p>\n

With Low Code No Code, development is democratised throughout your organisation. It allows anyone to solve business problems themselves.<\/p>\n

At\u00a0Centrica, citizen developers have built over 1,000 apps.<\/p>\n

For the energy services and solutions company, Power Apps has changed perceptions and steered to business-led development. Take, their finance team, for example, in a couple of months they built an app that simplified and automated coordinating tax returns across different regimes.<\/p>\n

Build fusion teams to digitise and innovate faster with Power Platform partner<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Microsoft<\/p>\n

What happens when you combine your pro developers and citizen developers? You build fusion teams and unlock the true value of low\/no code. According to Gartner,\u00a084 percent of companies<\/a>\u00a0already have a fusion team.<\/p>\n

By bringing together people with different experiences and knowledge into a multi-disciplinary team, you\u2019ll build more innovative, inclusive apps, faster.<\/p>\n

In a fusion team, citizen developers, with the support of pro developers, can rapidly build more complex applications. Citizen developers can focus on the UI, whilst pro developers can create and manage the APIs needed to enrich the application with key data sources. This accelerates time-to-delivery. Fusion teams can deploy solutions up to\u00a0two and a half times faster<\/a>\u00a0than traditional siloed teams.<\/p>\n

Centrica used a fusion team to develop an app that matches Centrica volunteers with people from the Trussell Trust charity.<\/p>\n
