Modern organizations need agile applications and automated workflows to maximize efficiency and productivity. How do organizations accomplish this?
Traditional app and automation development require IT resources with deep knowledge of complex coding. The resources also need to understand how to build connectors between a variety of different tools and systems. Finding IT resources with this expertise and keeping them on staff is a challenge.
Low-code no-code application platforms simplify this experience and are perfect for organizations that lack coding expertise within their IT staff. These tools provide a user-friendly portal that simplifies app and automation development.
The Microsoft Power Platform is the ideal low-code no-code solution for organizations that have already embraced or will be embracing Microsoft for other areas of their business. Power Platform offers secure tools with prebuilt connectors to other platforms and data sources. Power Platform’s intuitive portals allow users with limited IT expertise to begin creating new apps and eliminating manual tasks and workflows.
CBTS is a trusted partner for organizations adopting Power Platform. CBTS takes a meticulous approach to Power Platform consulting focused on discovery, assessment, design, development, and support.
