Apps at work
Apps for both mobile and desktop have become a part of the fabric of business.
Building Superapps with the Microsoft Power Platform
Improve productivity and the user experience with more convenient app accessibility
It’s difficult to imagine a time when mobile devices didn’t have screens full of app icons. For years, consumers have been using apps for banking, shopping, and more. But since the COVID-19 pandemic, more employees than ever are working remotely, making mobile devices--and business apps--indispensable at work.
While all these apps are designed to help, employees even as far back as 2021 had begun to experience app fatigue, and with web apps now available for desk workers, that issue will only grow worse.
Company wide, departments are using an average of 200 apps, and juggling all these disparate apps can become a hindrance rather than a help, wasting time, impeding productivity, and delivering a poor user experience.
To address this issue and to more effectively manage app development internally, forward-thinking organizations are embracing superapps.

A platform that transforms apps into a convenient dashboard
A superapp is an application platform that provides users with core features as well as access to miniapps that are created independently—creating what is essentially a convenient dashboard for employees' mobile devices.
Using Power Apps, part of the Microsoft Power Platform, enterprises can build superapps for a modular framework to rapidly develop and deploy features and updates for both mobile and desktop users while delivering customized experiences.
