Power Apps: Canvas & Model-Driven
From quick-win task apps to full, data-rich business solutions, Power Apps turns ideas into secure, scalable applications
Canvas Apps: Flexible, Pixel-Perfect Experiences
Canvas apps are ideal when you want flexible, highly tailored interfaces that feel like custom-designed tools for your users. They let you drag, drop, and shape screens around the way people really work, on desktop, tablet, or mobile.
Use this service when clients need:
- Task-focused mobile apps for field staff, inspectors, sales teams, or on-the-go managers.
- Modern replacements for forms, email threads, and fragile spreadsheets.
- Branded, intuitive interfaces that are fast to build and easy to refine.
Example use cases you can mention to customers:
- Asset or inventory tracking from the warehouse floor.
- Inspection and checklist apps that guide users step-by-step.
- Simple request apps for things like leave, purchases, or IT support.
Model-Driven Apps: Data-First Business Systems
Model-driven apps shine when the data structure and business rules matter more than custom layouts. Built on top of Dataverse, they provide powerful, secure experiences with rich forms, views, and dashboards out of the box.
Use this service when clients need:
- End‑to‑end business applications with complex relationships, workflows, and security.
- CRM-style solutions for customers, suppliers, or internal teams.
- Consistent, governed experiences that can grow with the organization
Example use cases you can mention to customers:
- Case and ticket management systems that track every interaction.
- Project and resource management tools with approvals and milestones.
- Data-driven apps that connect to other Microsoft business systems
Canvas vs. Model-Driven: Choosing the Right Approach
Help prospects understand the strengths of both app types within a modern business application ecosystem.
- Canvas apps – best for UX flexibility, mobility, and role-specific interfaces
- Model-driven apps – best for robust data models, standardized processes, and governance
- Hybrid solutions – often the ideal approach: a model-driven “core” for data and rules, with canvas apps tailored to specific user roles or use cases.
