Replacing Excel sheets and old Access applications with a (web) application is one of the most common low-code scenarios. Access applications are often outdated and no longer editable. The builder or creator is often no longer involved.

Excel is used for applications it wasn't intended for. It contains complex calculations that can be used and (often unintentionally) modified by multiple people. Multiple files are often mistakenly linked together as a database. Unintentionally, these become critical business applications in Excel. As a result, these solutions have become complicated and error-prone. The accuracy of information can no longer be verified and therefore cannot be guaranteed.

With low-code Power Apps, these solutions can be quickly and effectively converted into reliable and more broadly deployable solutions.

Some benefits include:

• No more unmanageable error-prone solutions
• Always have the right information available to everyone
• Access can be controlled per user
• Future-proofing through the use of databases and apps

For example:
Instead of having all contracts in Excel, OneDrive, or a filing cabinet, neatly organise everything in an app.

Discover our custom Contract Management Software, developed with low-code Power Platform Apps & Automate. This advanced solution seamlessly integrates with Teams, Outlook, and SharePoint, and can be easily customised to your unique client-specific apps. Simplify your contract management, increase operational efficiency, and prepare for an optimised workflow.

With our software, a client never has to search for a contract again. All the necessary information is readily accessible, saving valuable time. Moreover, deadlines are never 'accidentally' missed. Thanks to automated reminders and alerts, our solution diligently monitors deadlines, giving you full control over the contract management process. Choose our solution and enjoy peace of mind in contract management.  

Organisations often struggle with a disadvantage in the development and implementation of applications, while employees have an endless amount of inspiration for new applications. We live in a world where we can no longer wait for a new or adapted solution with a lead time of months. No, we want to move more easily and quickly from idea to application.

Using low-code solutions is ideal for quickly turning many of the employees' desires into reality (together with them) and continuously evolving. The organisation becomes so agile that it can support customers optimally with software and stay ahead of the competition.

Some benefits:

• Quickly build new apps to current desires
• Continuously and cost efficiently provide customisation
• Co-creation with the users
• Alleviating pressure on the IT department      

Add-on apps: unlocking and integrating existing systems.
In companies, multiple IT systems are often used separately from each other. Think of standard (SaaS) applications for Sales CRM, HR, ERP, webshops, inventory management, planning, invoicing, etc. But few of these standard applications are suitable for meeting all company-specific use scenarios.

Often, information is manually retrieved from different separate systems and entered into other systems again. Lots of repetitive and manual copy-pasting work to be able to do daily work properly, labor-intensive and boring.

The Power Platform enables the creation of solutions quickly as an addition to the existing systems.

Some advantages:

• Easy updating and synchronizing of data between systems
• Repetitive and manual processes are automated
• No expensive customizations and maintenance needed in standard systems

IT professionals and C-level executives lose sleep over legacy systems: they are crucial to the company and are difficult to replace and maintain. So, what to do if your business relies on an application written in COBOL, AS400 or Turbo Pascal, languages that no one in your team can read or write well any more?

Low-code helps with legacy modernisation. Instead of directly transferring the functionality with new code, a good approach is to modernise the functionality together with the employees in an accelerated way. And at the same time, standardise it and connect it to the current necessary processes and other applications.

Using low-code, the application landscape becomes healthy again, and the organisation becomes flexible and ready for the future.

Some benefits:

• Accelerated modernisation of outdated systems
• Functional alignment with current processes
• Phased rollout is possible    

Business Intelligence (BI) tools such as Microsoft Power BI are popular. Their ability to visualise complex data structures in easy-to-understand dashboards and charts is a blessing for anyone working with large amounts of data. BI tools also have their limitations, for example, they are not designed for (frequent) data input by employees.

With low-code solutions, employees can easily transport (a subset of) data from source systems to the BI solutions and optionally manually add to it.

Through the integration of Power Platform and Azure, this can be achieved effectively with Power BI, Apps, and Automate.

Some benefits:

• Professionally unlock data in dashboards and analyses
• User-friendly custom applications
• Automated flows from data to information
• Supplementing data with specific knowledge, such as targets or trends
