Power Apps is a low-code platform that lets you develop custom apps quickly and easily. Where advanced technology used to be needed to build apps, Power Apps is now accessible to any organization. It integrates seamlessly with all Microsoft tools and external data sources and systems, allowing business processes to be optimized and automated.

For this reason, Microsoft has been named a leader and frontrunner in low-code by Gartner in recent years with Power Apps.

Power Apps in practice
E-mergo developed an innovative solution with Power Apps for De Vereende, significantly improving their business processes. Previously, De Vereende used an outdated Microsoft Access application to administer contracts and claims, which was time-consuming and error-prone. Thanks to the new user-friendly application, processing requests and data is now much faster and more efficient, and the data is always reliable and up to date.
The components of Power Apps
Canvas Apps
Canvas Apps offer the ability to quickly and flexibly develop applications for web, mobile, and tablet, focused on the user experience. You can fully customize apps to your organization's needs by dragging and dropping elements such as input fields, buttons, and forms onto a blank canvas. Canvas Apps make optimal use of a device's native capabilities, such as cameras and location data.
Model-driven Apps
Model-driven Apps are based on the data and processes your organization uses. Instead of starting with a blank canvas, you start with the data and models you've defined in Dataverse. These apps offer a standardized user interface and are ideal for complex business processes where consistent data entry and management are crucial. Model-driven Apps use components such as forms, views, and dashboards.
Dataverse
Dataverse is the foundation for data management within Power Apps. It offers a standardized and secure way to store and organize data, making it easy to scale and manage applications and processes. With Dataverse, both Canvas Apps and Model-driven Apps can work efficiently with shared data.
