With a low-code platform that enables more makers to design and deploy applications, while accelerating&nbsp; the work of professional developers, a wide range of use cases can be addressed in record time. A product owner at an energy organization noted to Forrester, \u201c<em>Power Apps allows for faster application development because end-users don\u2019t waste time waiting for a high-code app to be developed or spend time on inefficient processes.\u201d <\/em>Many other customers not interviewed for the study\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/customers.microsoft.com\/en-us\/story\/1627838802576112032-westpac-banking-power-platform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Westpac<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/customers.microsoft.com\/en-us\/story\/1698782717636037949-epiq-power-platform-united-states\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Epiq,<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/customers.microsoft.com\/en-us\/story\/1490432735410264190-vodafone-telecommunications\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vodafone<\/a> for example\u2014have shared similar experiences of impactful solutions built in weeks instead of months.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/hours-saved-1.webp\" alt=\"Decorative figure of data from Power Platform users. \" class=\"wp-image-123319 webp-format\" srcset=\"\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/hours-saved-1.webp\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<br>Forrester found that productivity gains on high-impact use-cases<strong> saved up to 250 hours per user annually, unlocking as much as 12% of an employee\u2019s time&nbsp;for new, productive work<\/strong>.

At the organizational level, this impact scales dramatically: in the third year <strong>of Power Apps adoption, the organization saved 1,000,000 hours<\/strong>, generating a financial benefit of $31.3 million.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outside the Forrester study, many of our customers, including <a href=\"https:\/\/customers.microsoft.com\/en-us\/story\/1790845375817388896-ey-power-apps-professional-services-en-united-states\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EY<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/customers.microsoft.com\/en-us\/story\/1747349596437245542-evergy-power-apps-energy-en-united-states\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Evergy<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/customers.microsoft.com\/en-us\/story\/1772331389871074501-leroyseafood-power-apps-other-unsegmented-en-norway\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ler\u00f8y Seafood<\/a>, are witnessing similar productivity improvements enabled by low-code solutions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"equip-developers-for-greater-efficiency-and-achieve-50-faster-app-development\">Equip developers for greater efficiency and achieve 50% faster app development&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Low-code promises faster development\u2014but how <em>much<\/em> faster, and is it truly worth it?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Forrester&#8217;s findings indicate that <strong>professional developers cut their application development time by 50% <\/strong>using Power Apps Premium.

Moreover, as citizen developers independently handled certain business issues, professional developers could focus on more complex and high-value projects for users. Customers also noted that before adopting Power Platform, integrating various apps and services required extensive custom development, while with Power Platform this became easier thanks to simple, interconnected, and easy-to-govern low-code tools. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow has-quote-default-font-size\">\n<p class=\"has-strong-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-96c8d55076640de98705e272c1b31424 wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cIf we go four years back, when the first Power Apps appeared, it was very non-IT.
