5 Reasons why developing a corporate Euro Cup prediction App in PowerApps is beneficial

Betmasters is DT-ITS’s in-house developed corporate app, designed for the European Championship to allow colleagues to predict match results and complete quizzes related to the matches. Here are five lessons we learned from this PowerApps development project:

1. Deadline tied to a global event is a strong motivator

A tight timeframe linked to a major event highlighted how to maximize efficiency and creativity. When everyone knew the final deadline was non-negotiable, the team became more focused and goal-oriented.

2. Time-saving through intuitive controls and pre-designed elements

Instead of relying on HTML solutions, developers saved significant time using the platform’s intuitive controls and pre-designed elements. This allowed the focus to shift more towards functionality and user experience rather than complex coding.

3. Benefits of pre-defined templates and components

One of the platform’s greatest advantages is the availability of numerous pre-defined templates and components useful at every stage of development. Whether it’s design, development, or approval, there is help available for every step. This not only shortened the development time but also ensured quality and consistency.

4. Empowering non-technical users

One of our most interesting experiences was seeing how PowerApps enabled non-technical users to perform complex tasks. For example, they created a simple automation process where Outlook emails were automatically integrated into a Planner. This flexibility and accessibility provided a significant advantage for the team.

5. Versatility beyond the prediction app

Beyond the Euro Cup prediction app, PowerApps proved its value in developing other business applications. Whether it’s a document management system or business continuity support, the platform’s versatility and ease of use allowed us to quickly and efficiently create useful tools. This significantly increased the operational efficiency of the company.

Conclusion:

Low-code does not mean low quality. On the contrary, with more efficient development processes and higher levels of user experience, we can create high-quality applications.
