Developed from a low-code platform with a drag-and-drop interface, Power Apps allows businesses to rapidly transform digitally by building a complete application in just a few weeks, even days. From there, businesses can speed up and shorten the digital transformation process. This is what sets Power Apps apart from traditional application development methods.
