Microsoft PowerApps allows users to create business apps without coding. It connects to common Office 365 and SharePoint data sources. Apps can be built visually using templates and can work across devices. PowerApps offers standard connections but an enterprise plan is needed for custom APIs or on-premises data. It empowers both employees and developers to quickly build solutions.

3. What are PowerApps?
“PowerApps is an enterprise software as a service for innovators everywhere to
connect, create, and share business apps on any device. It couples naturally with the
vision of Office as a platform and takes advantage of capabilities like mail, calendar,
contacts, users, lists, and libraries from across the Office Family: Office 365,
SharePoint Online, SharePoint on-premises, Excel and OneDrive. With PowerApps,
you can build apps with clicks – not code – and with templates for many common
app types to help you get started. It’s no longer a matter of end-users waiting for IT
or a professional developer to write the code; they can easily build apps to solve their
own problems. Building a solution with PowerApps on top of Office is a simple
matter of (a) open the PowerApps tool, (b) connect to an Office/SharePoint data
source, (c) customize the UI and (d) start using your great new app. “

4. PowerApps for Employees
 Quickly create apps that work on any device using a Microsoft Office-like
experience, templates to get started quickly and a visual designer to automate
workflows.
 Use built-in connections, or ones built by your company, to connect PowerApps
to cloud services such as Office 365, Dynamics CRM, Salesforce, Dropbox and
OneDrive and on-premises systems including SharePoint, SQL Server, Oracle
databases, SAP and more.
 Share PowerApps like documents. It’s as simple as typing an email address and
your coworkers can take advantage of an app you created.
