Frequently Asked Questions.
Common questions about Power Apps development and consultancy answered for Irish businesses looking to automate processes, replace legacy systems, and build custom apps on Microsoft 365.
What can Power Apps do for an Irish business that Microsoft 365 tools cannot do out of the box?
Power Apps fills the gap between what standard Microsoft 365 tools provide and what your specific Irish business processes actually require. Teams, SharePoint, and Outlook handle communication and document management well, but they do not replace a custom inspection form, an asset tracking system, a staff leave request workflow with multi-level approvals, or a customer onboarding process with conditional logic. Power Apps lets Mata365 build those specific tools — tailored to your exact process, connected to your data in SharePoint or Dataverse, accessible on any device, and integrated with the rest of your Microsoft 365 environment. For Irish SMEs currently managing these processes in Excel, paper forms, or legacy Access databases, Power Apps is typically the most practical and cost-effective replacement.
How much does it cost to build a Power App for an Irish business?
The cost of a Power App depends on its complexity — the number of screens, data sources, workflow rules, and integrations involved. A simple single-purpose app — a digital form that submits data to a SharePoint list and sends a Teams notification — can typically be scoped, built, and delivered in a few days. A multi-screen app with complex conditional logic, Dataverse integration, and a Power Automate approval chain is a more substantial engagement. Mata365 provides a clear scope and quote for every Power Apps project during the free initial assessment so your Irish business knows exactly what is involved and what it costs before any development work begins. Licensing for Power Apps is included in Microsoft 365 Business Premium or available as a standalone per-app or per-user add-on.
What is the difference between a Power Apps canvas app and a model-driven app for Irish businesses?
Canvas apps give you full control over the layout and user interface, you design every screen, button, and data connection yourself, and the app looks exactly how you want it to. They are ideal for Irish businesses that need a specific user experience , a mobile inspection form, a customer intake screen, or a field service app with a defined workflow. Model-driven apps are built on top of Dataverse and the interface is generated automatically based on the data model, they are better suited to more complex, data-heavy applications like CRM tools or case management systems where the data structure drives the experience rather than a custom design. Mata365 recommends the right app type for each use case and builds both for Irish businesses.
Can Power Apps connect to systems outside of Microsoft 365 for an Irish business?
es. Power Apps connects to over 1,000 data sources through connectors, including SharePoint, Dataverse, SQL Server, Excel, Dynamics 365, Salesforce, SAP, and many other business systems. For Irish businesses using a CRM, ERP, or accounting platform alongside Microsoft 365, Power Apps can pull data from those systems into a unified app experience without requiring a full system migration. Premium connectors, including connections to Salesforce and SAP, require a Power Apps Premium licence per user. Mata365 assesses which connectors your Irish business needs and recommends the right licensing approach before any development begins.
How do Power Apps integrate with Microsoft Teams for Irish businesses?
Power Apps can be embedded directly into Microsoft Teams as a tab in a Teams channel, meaning your Irish team can access and use the app without leaving Teams at all. For businesses where Teams is the primary daily interface, this significantly improves adoption, staff find and use the app because it is where they already are, rather than needing to navigate to a separate application. Mata365 configures Teams integration for every Power App where it makes sense for the Irish business’s workflow, and connects Power Automate to Teams so app actions trigger the right notifications and approvals in the channels where decisions are made.
