A: Development timelines vary significantly based on complexity. Simple data collection apps take 1-3 weeks, departmental workflow applications require 4-8 weeks, and enterprise-wide solutions with complex integrations need 12-20 weeks. During our initial consultation, we provide a detailed timeline based on your specific requirements.
A: Canvas apps offer complete design flexibility—you control every pixel and interaction, ideal for mobile-first experiences and custom workflows. Model-driven apps are data-centric, automatically generating UI from your data model, better suited for complex business processes with sophisticated relationships like CRM systems. We help you choose the right approach based on your use case.
A: Yes, Canvas apps support offline mode, allowing users to collect data without internet connectivity. Changes sync automatically when connection is restored. This is critical for field service, inspections, and remote work scenarios. Model-driven apps have limited offline capabilities through Dynamics 365 mobile offline.
A: Costs depend on complexity, integration requirements, and customization level. Simple apps range from $10,000-$25,000, mid-complexity applications cost $25,000-$75,000, and enterprise solutions with extensive integration run $75,000-$200,000+. This includes requirements gathering, development, testing, deployment, and training. We provide fixed-price quotes after requirements analysis.
A: Power Apps offers 1,000+ pre-built connectors including SharePoint, SQL Server, Dynamics 365, Salesforce, SAP, Oracle, Excel, OneDrive, Teams, and virtually any database or REST API. For systems without standard connectors, we build custom connectors. This makes Power Apps exceptionally versatile for enterprise integration.
A: Absolutely. Power Apps leverages enterprise-grade Microsoft Azure security, including data encryption at rest and in transit, Azure Active Directory authentication, multi-factor authentication, role-based access control, and compliance with HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2, and ISO 27001. We implement additional security layers like row-level security and field encryption for highly sensitive data.
A: Yes, Power Apps scales to support enterprise-wide deployments with thousands of concurrent users. Proper architecture is critical—we design data models, implement caching strategies, optimize formulas for delegation, and leverage Azure services to ensure performance at scale. Microsoft Power Apps supports organizations with 100,000+ users globally.
A: Power Apps' low-code nature makes it inherently agile. We use iterative development with regular review checkpoints, allowing for requirement adjustments. For fixed-price projects, we document a change request process. For time-and-materials engagements, we simply adjust the scope. Most clients appreciate seeing working prototypes early and providing feedback for refinement.
A: Not necessarily. Many organizations start with our development services, then we train internal citizen developers to handle simple modifications and new apps. We offer flexible engagement models: project-based for specific applications, retainer agreements for ongoing development needs, or staff augmentation to supplement your internal team during peak periods.
A: Microsoft offers per-user and per-app licensing. Per-user ($20/month) provides unlimited app access for individual users. Per-app ($5/month per app) is cost-effective when users only need 1-2 apps. Premium connectors (SQL Server, HTTP requests, custom connectors) require per-user licensing. We provide licensing optimization recommendations to minimize costs.
A: Yes, Access migration is one of our most common projects. We analyze your Access forms, queries, reports, and VBA code, then recreate functionality in Power Apps with enhanced capabilities. We migrate data to Dataverse or SharePoint, convert business logic to Power Fx formulas and Power Automate flows, and add mobile access and collaboration features Access never had. Typical migration takes 4-10 weeks.
A: Power Apps extensibility options include: custom connectors for third-party systems, Power Apps Component Framework (PCF) for advanced UI controls, Azure Functions for complex server-side logic, custom plugins for Dataverse, and Power Automate for workflow automation. In rare cases where requirements exceed platform capabilities, we discuss hybrid approaches or alternative solutions.
