Why low-code no-code platform such as Microsoft Power Platform can proved to be instrumental in an organisation's digital transformation journey?
Imagine you go to a subway to buy a sub but instead of getting toppings as per your choice, you are offered only a standard sub with all the toppings. Now left with no other option, you buy that only available standard sub, retain toppings as per your like and remove all others.
A full blown SaaS product is just like that, you buy a SaaS product which may or may not have all features which not need. On top of that, you need to pay for a skill that can customize the product as per your need (consider this as carefully removing/retaining toppings on a sub). According to our conversation with many SaaS product buyers, over 90% agree with the above.
Now imagine this: You are given a platform where you can design and configure numerous SaaS products, exactly as per your need. Just as a subway gives you a choice to choose ingredients (such as choice of bread, cheese, corn, beef, tomato, etc...) of your choice to make your own sub, Microsoft power platform has all the ingredients, (at DigitalGarage.ai, we call them Lego blocks), that can be configured and customized to build a digital solution exactly as per your need.
Furthermore, there are many others, both monetary and non monetary, benefits that come along with it. Few of them are listed below:
-
The platform fees is far less than a full blown SaaS solution (typically 1/10th per User)
-
Choosing a single technology stack for configuring and building multiple solutions gives you immense benefits in terms of costs, scale, maintenance, integration, architecture etc.
-
Because of a common technology stack, the need for varied skill resources is greatly minimized.
-
The development journey on these platforms is typically 10 times faster than using open-source platforms.
-
Your Data Journey (Data Analytics and Data Science) can be started from the very 1st day of go-live.
Microsoft Power Platform provides you with all solution components such as Managed Database, Role based access, Dashboard and Reporting, Dataflow, Workflows, Automation, UX designers and many more in the form of Lego blocks. Remember your childhood days, the day you made your first toy using Lego blocks, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and all rest were easy to come by.
