Power Platform > RETURN TO WORK App

Get back to work after COVID lockdown in a smart & safe manner

Over the past few months I have started getting more involved into the world of Power Platform. I have a natural instinct to learn more about the No-Code Low code solutions that are out there for the citizen developers. Power Platform is a very promising Microsoft offering out there, and being involved heavily in the design, architecture & implementation in Neudesic's RETURN App to get out to MS marketplace I wanted to share it on my personal blogspace to raise awareness in my IT community. Please reach out to me  pallavi.sharma@neudesic.com to learn more or If you have any questions. More details here RETURN is part of Neudesic’ s COVID-19 response initiative to deliver new technology-based solutions to help organizations stabilize, adapt, and thrive during the current pandemic times. The primary goal behind building this accelerator was for internal Neudesic employees and build an IP / accelerator that can be utilized by other companies with minimal effort.

It is an easy to use digital Mobile ready solution that enables employees to support a safe return to their workplace. This solution is built on Power Platform – Namely Power apps and Power Automate.
