Ok, the rocket metaphor is a bit of a cliché, but we’ve proof that this aptly named supersonic suite of automation tools really can lift business performance.
But before we provide statistical evidence, what benefits can Microsoft’s Power Platform bring and how should you and your company best use it?
- Retirement plans
It enables the development of custom solutions that eliminate the need for expensive infrastructure, leading to substantial savings. Time to retire your legacy and on-premises solutions?
- Movers, shakers and makers
Its low-code environment accelerates the development of solutions so you can quickly implement new ones. More employees can become makers, creating tools that replace paper and manual processes, further enhancing productivity and efficiency.
- Anytime, anyplace, anywhere
With the Power Platform, tasks can be completed on mobile devices, freeing employees from their desks. This flexibility allows for greater agility and responsiveness, ensuring that work can be done anytime, anywhere.
- Step out of the shadow
The Power Platform fosters improved collaboration by reducing Shadow IT. Managers gain full visibility of all solutions through the Centre of Excellence, ensuring that all tools and processes are aligned with business goals and standards.
- Time to add your value
Automating tasks such as approvals, data collection, and notifications saves time and reduces errors. This not only streamlines operations but also ensures that you and your staff can focus on more strategic, value-added activities.
Statistically Speaking
Back to those stats! Microsoft has provided evidence demonstrating the performance benefits of its Power Platform particularly in relation to time savings, return on investment (ROI) and workflow efficiency.
- Time Savings and Development Speed: Organisations experienced significant efficiency gains with users saving approximately 250 hours per person on high impact use cases (study by Forester Consulting). Additionally, app development times were reduced by 50%, enabling faster deployment of solutions.
- Return on Investment (ROI): The same Forester study reported a 206% ROI for organisations implementing Power Apps Premium, with the initial investment recouped within six months. The effective cost of each new solution approached zero after three years due to the platform’s unlimited apps per user model.
- Workflow Efficiency: According to Visionet.com, companies utilising Power Automate, a component of the Power Platform, reduced workflow creation time by up to 70%, significantly enhancing operational efficiency.
These work case scenarios and stats clearly demonstrate the substantial performance improvements and cost savings that businesses can achieve by adopting Microsoft’s Power Platform tools.
