Why Power Apps? 6 Key Advantages Every IT Leader Should Know

In 2025, 70% of new business applications will be built on low-code or no-code platforms – up from less than 25% in 2020. This shows the shift in how enterprises innovate. Every business leveraging Microsoft Power Apps reports up to a 50% reduction in development time.

Moreover, businesses get an average 206% ROI over three years, getting their investment back within six months and unlocking millions in net present value. With the low-code market projected to grow from $37.4 billion in 2025 to $264.4 billion by 2032, the momentum is undeniable. In this post, we will see 6 key advantages of Power Apps and how Exigo Tech helps adopt Power Apps for accelerating time-to-value, democratising development, and embedding enterprise-grade security.

What is Microsoft Power Apps?

Microsoft Power Apps is a low-code application development platform designed to help businesses create custom apps quickly and efficiently. It allows organisations to digitise processes, automate workflows, and connect seamlessly with existing systems, without the need for extensive coding expertise.

Why Power Apps is Critical for IT Leaders Today

Today’s business environment demands speed, flexibility, and cost-efficiency. Traditional application development often struggles to keep pace with these requirements, leaving IT leaders searching for better solutions.

Power Apps addresses these challenges by:

• Enabling faster response to business needs.
• Reducing reliance on costly custom development.
• Ensuring secure, scalable solutions that align with digital transformation goals.

For IT leaders, adopting Power Apps means staying ahead of the curve, delivering innovation, and empowering teams without compromising security or governance.

6 Key Advantages of Power Apps

1. Accelerate Business Agility

Long development cycles can make organisations miss critical opportunities. Traditional app development often takes months, delaying innovation and reducing competitiveness. Power Apps enables rapid application development so you can respond to market shifts immediately.

• Build apps quickly using low-code tools.
• Empower business users to create solutions without heavy IT dependency.

This agility allows organisations to quickly adapt to market changes and stay competitive.

2. Reduce Development and Operational Costs

Custom app development typically requires a high investment in specialised resources and infrastructure. For many organisations, these costs become a barrier to digital transformation. Power Apps eliminates most of these expenses by offering a cost-effective, low-code approach to building apps.

• No heavy investment in custom coding or specialised resources.
• Minimal infrastructure requirements with Microsoft cloud integration.

Organisations can achieve digital transformation goals without overspending on development.

3. Maximise ROI from Existing Microsoft Investments

Most enterprises already have Microsoft tools such as Office 365, Dynamics 365, and Azure in place. However, many fail to leverage these tools fully, leading to missed opportunities for cost savings and efficiency. Power Apps bridges this gap by allowing businesses to build solutions that work seamlessly within their existing Microsoft ecosystem.

• Seamless integration with Office 365, Dynamics 365, and Azure.
• Leverage existing data from SharePoint, Teams, and Excel without duplication.

This maximises your Microsoft ecosystem’s potential and eliminates the need for additional platforms.

4. Improve Workforce Productivity Through Automation

Employees spend a significant amount of time on repetitive tasks and manual workflows, which slows operations and increases the risk of errors. Power Apps, combined with Power Automate, introduces intelligent automation that accelerates processes and enhances efficiency across the board.

• Automate approvals, notifications, and repetitive tasks using Power Automate.
• Enable employees to focus on strategic work rather than admin activities.

The result is faster operations, fewer errors, and increased efficiency across teams.

5. Ensure Enterprise-grade Security and Compliance

As businesses adopt new technologies, data security and compliance remain top concerns for IT leaders. A single breach or compliance failure can result in significant financial and reputational damage. Power Apps ensures your custom apps are built on Microsoft’s trusted security and compliance framework.

• Built-in role-based access control and data encryption.
• Compliance with various global standards.
• IT leaders can confidently enable innovation while maintaining full control and security.

6. Scale Easily as Your Business Grows

Organisations evolve, and so should the applications that support them. Many traditional solutions fail to scale, forcing costly re-platforming or redevelopment efforts. Power Apps is designed for scalability, ensuring your applications grow with your business needs over time.

• Start with small apps and expand to enterprise-wide solutions as needed.
• Benefit from continuous Microsoft updates and new features without re-platforming.

This ensures your applications remain future-ready and aligned with your long-term strategy.
