Speed to value with Low Code
We at Kainos launched our Intelligent Automation practice in 2020, with an aim to support organisations with their growing need to drive efficiency up and cost down. The practice has evolved massively in recent years, becoming one of the fatest growing Power Platform teams in the UK.
Over the past few months, our practice has undergone a transformative journey, transitioning from a focus on Intelligent Automation and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to a more powerful and versatile approach – Low Code development, with a specific emphasis on the Microsoft Power Platform.
In this blog, I’ll walk you through the reasons why our practice has evolved in this way, while highlighting the key benefits for our customers and users and exploring the speed to value approach that is unlocked through Low Code.
Embracing the power of Low Code
While Intelligent Automation and RPA have proven their worth in streamlining repetitive tasks and improving operational efficiency, we gradually realised that even more potential lies in empowering our customers to build and deploy robust business applications quickly.
This realisation led us to Low Code development, which has become a game-changer in the realm of software development, allowing us to quickly deliver transformational applications and automations.
Why the Microsoft Power Platform?
After extensive research and evaluation, we identified the Microsoft Power Platform as the ideal Low Code platform to leverage for our practice. Consisting of Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, and Power Virtual Agents, the Power Platform provides us with a comprehensive set of tools that seamlessly integrate with existing Microsoft solutions. Therefore making it an excellent choice for organisations already operating within the Microsoft ecosystem and those wanting to invest into a single Low Code platform.
Speed to value
One of the standout advantages of embracing Low Code with the Microsoft Power Platform is the remarkable speed to value it offers. Traditional software development approaches can be time-consuming, requiring extensive coding and testing cycles. However, with Low Code, we can rapidly develop and deploy applications, cutting down development time significantly. This not only accelerates the delivery of solutions but also allows our customers to start reaping the benefits much sooner.
Furthermore, Low Code empowers citizen developers within our clients' organisations to actively participate in application development. These individuals, with a deep understanding of their business needs, can now contribute to creating tailored solutions without the need for extensive coding expertise.
This democratisation of development ensures a collaborative environment where innovation thrives, resulting in solutions that precisely meet the unique requirements of our clients.
Top benefits for customers and users:
- Rapid Application Development: Swiftly transform ideas into functional applications, reducing time-to-market and helping organisations stay ahead of the competition or transform the citizen experience
- Enhanced User Experience: By creating intuitive and user-friendly interfaces, we ensure that end users can seamlessly interact with the applications, increasing adoption rates and overall user satisfaction
- Flexibility and Scalability: The Power Platform enables us to build scalable applications that can evolve alongside our clients' business needs. This adaptability ensures that our solutions continue to add value as requirements change.
- Integration and Automation: The Power Platform's seamless integration with other Microsoft solutions allows us to automate processes and leverage existing data sources effectively, resulting in improved operational efficiency
At Kainos, our commitment to delivering exceptional value to our clients is unwavering. By transitioning our practice from Intelligent Automation and RPA to Low Code with the Microsoft Power Platform, we are equipping our customers with the tools they need to rapidly innovate and transform their business processes.
The speed to value we bring to the table is unmatched, ensuring that our clients can quickly realise the benefits of their investments and stay at the forefront of their industries.
