The way we do business has changed dramatically over the last few years. Many professionals have gone from working on premises to working remotely. This change in our relationship with our work combined with the ever-changing technology places stress on organizations to be agile in their work approach and requires organizations to be constantly innovating their business systems.
In the past, organizations typically viewed business systems as 10-year investments. Organizations would engage in a two-year ERP implementation that often included custom development with the belief that significant changes to the system would not be needed or required for years. This is no longer the case.
Corporate change is increasing exponentially. Organizations no longer have the luxury of owning static business systems that do not meet the needs of the organization. Approaches to managing business systems must be be agile in nature resulting in the constant innovation of business systems. Without constant innovation an organization risks falling behind the competition and potentially going out of business.
Using professional developers to create custom apps for business systems has been the standard approach to meet the historical demand for innovation. The problem is that there are just not enough professional developers in the marketplace to meet the demand for new business system apps going forward. In 2021, IDC predicted that 750 million new apps will be needed by 2025. Clearly a different approach to creating business system apps is needed going forward if we are to meet future demand for apps.
The good news is there is a way for organizations to meet and exceed the demand for apps. Microsoft’s Power Platform is a no and low-code product line that will enable organizations to meet the demand.
In a 2021 report by Forrester Consulting commissioned by Microsoft stated that Microsoft’s Power Platform reduced costs and effort for projects while at the same time maximizing the value achieved with Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365. The report shows that using the Power Platform for large project development instead of traditional full-stack development tools can reduce costs on average by 45%.
Organizations seeking a reduction in costs for business system apps can be achieved by integrating citizen developers in fusion teams. Gartner research shows that efforts fueled by distributed teams using broad-based involvement such as fusion teams progress 2.5 times faster than centralized, sequential efforts commonly used by traditional IT teams.
Accelerate innovation in your organization by reducing your costs and effort on business system implementations and maintenance through the adoption of Microsoft’s Power Platform.
