MS Power Platform
Unlock the full potential of Microsoft Power Platform with our two integrated programmes: Functional Consultant and Full‑Stack Developer.
What Is a Citizen Developer?
A citizen developer is a business user who builds applications and automations using low‑code/no‑code tools, without formal software engineering skills. By leveraging Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, and Dataverse, citizen developers:
- Rapidly prototype and deploy solutions tailored to their teams’ needs
- Bridge the gap between business requirements and IT delivery
- Democratize innovation across the organization
Why It Matters Today
- Speed & Agility: Traditional IT backlogs can delay solutions by months—citizen development turns weeks of work into hours.
- Cost Efficiency: Reduces reliance on external development resources and cuts manual work through automation.
- Innovation Culture: Empowers every employee to solve problems proactively, driving continuous improvement.
