Business Apps & Automation

  • Citizen Developer

    A business user without formal software development training who builds applications, automations, and workflows using low-code or no-code platforms such as Microsoft Power Apps or Power Automate, to solve business problems without waiting for IT resources. Citizen developer programs succeed when paired with governance guardrails, IT oversight, and clear standards that prevent shadow IT while Continue reading

  • Dynamics 365

    Microsoft’s integrated suite of cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) applications, spanning sales, customer service, field service, finance, supply chain, and human resources. Dynamics 365 applications share a common data model and integrate natively with Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and Azure AI services, enabling organizations to break down operational silos and Continue reading

  • Intelligent Document Processing (IDP)

    An AI-powered automation capability that uses machine learning, optical character recognition (OCR), and natural language understanding to extract, classify, validate, and route data from unstructured or semi-structured documents, such as invoices, contracts, purchase orders, and medical records. IDP integrates into enterprise workflows to eliminate manual data entry, reduce processing errors, and accelerate document-intensive business processes. Continue reading

  • Low-Code Development

    An approach to application development that uses visual drag-and-drop interfaces, pre-built components, and declarative logic, rather than hand-written code, to accelerate the creation of business applications. Low-code platforms like Microsoft Power Apps dramatically reduce development time and open application creation to business users, enabling organizations to build and iterate on custom tools faster than traditional Continue reading

  • Microsoft Power Platform

    A suite of Microsoft low-code tools, comprising Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, and Power Pages, that enables organizations to build custom applications, automate workflows, analyze data, and create external-facing websites without extensive coding. Power Platform integrates natively with Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, and Azure services, empowering both citizen developers and professional developers to rapidly Continue reading

  • Power Apps

    A Microsoft low-code development platform within Power Platform that enables organizations to rapidly build custom, mobile-ready business applications using a drag-and-drop canvas interface or model-driven designer, without requiring traditional software development skills. Power Apps connects to hundreds of data sources through built-in connectors and integrates with Dataverse, SharePoint, and Azure services to deliver solutions that Continue reading

  • Power Automate

    A Microsoft cloud-based workflow automation tool within Power Platform that enables organizations to create automated flows connecting applications, services, and data sources, reducing manual effort across repetitive business processes. Power Automate supports cloud flows for API-based automation, desktop flows for robotic process automation (RPA) of legacy applications, and business process flows that guide users through Continue reading

  • Robotic Process Automation (RPA)

    A technology that uses configurable software robots to mimic human interactions with digital systems, clicking, typing, copying, and navigating applications, to automate repetitive, rules-based tasks such as data entry, invoice processing, and system reconciliation. RPA integrates with existing applications without requiring API access or system changes, making it a practical automation bridge for legacy environments, Continue reading
