Rebecca Sackett<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rebecca is a citizen developer at Custom Air Products & Services (CAPS), an HVAC solutions company based in Houston, Texas. With no prior app development experience, Rebecca taught herself Power Apps, Power Automate and Power BI, and digitized the end-to-end quality check (QC) process for HVAC units as they progress through the manufacturing line from \u2018cradle to crate\u2019. This process along with several additional processes that were paper based are 100% digital thanks to the 40+ apps and flows developed by Rebecca. \u201cIt took about three days and I had my first app. I\u2019m really happy with the end result because within minute of a unit being tested the report is completed and available for all to see without any extra work or steps.\u201d<\/em> story<\/a> | video<\/a> | presentation and demo<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

Foyin Olajide-Bello<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Foyin was an IT Manager at Sterling Bank. With no app development experience, she taught herself how to build apps, flows and dashboards using Microsoft Power Platform. She automated a monthly ATM collation process which previously required complex manual tasks involving several spreadsheets. To enable the wider community to build tech skills for the future, she started a Citizen Developer Academy at the bank, a local user group in Lagos, and an online women-in-tech group called TechStylers. She continues her journey with low-code and digital transformation as a consultant at Avanade. \u201cFor me the Power Platform is not just another tool, it is actually a transformational agent.\u201d<\/em> presentation<\/a> | video<\/a> | article on Silicon Republic<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jacqui Peck<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jacqui was a Senior Audiologist who is now working in Hearing Australia\u2019s IT team as a Low-Code Developer and Analyst. She discovered Power Apps while solving problems for Hearing Australia\u2019s ongoing \u201cHearing Assessment Program\u2014Early Ears\u201d or HAPEE. With the help of Umar Farooq, a code-first developer, she combined her knowledge of the business with Umar\u2019s knowledge of IT systems as part of a fusion team. Both relied on each other\u2019s strengths to build an application on Microsoft Dataverse to support HAPEE. \u201cI really feel businesses using Microsoft Power Platform can leverage the knowledge of the workers and the people who are on the ground. The benefit of this is that we are providing Hearing Australia with a functioning mature product that we know is going to work.\u201d<\/em> video<\/a> | case study<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

Asuka Otani<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Asuka Otani started her RPA journey in the HR team for a manufacturing company in Japan, where she found herself spending countless hours performing manual repetitive tasks. Without any prior IT background, she taught herself Power Automate for desktop and automated sending PDF documents to hundreds of customers, retrieving and aggregating data from legacy systems, and more. As her interest and skills advanced, so did her career. After sixteen years in HR, she is now a Technical Evangelist for an IT company, ASAHI Accounting Robot Research Institute, where she works with the customer success team, teaches people how to build RPA automation, and leads webinars. \u201cI was actually surprised myself that I could learn all these RPA techniques in three months . I could transform the company through Power Automate for desktop. Not only did I change that, but it also changed my career journey.\u201d<\/em> story<\/a> | interview<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

He transitioned into a permanent role on the IT team, established a CoE, and has been training others and building a community of citizen developers across a wide set of departments. \u201cWith Power Apps, it doesn\u2019t matter what your skill levels are. It doesn\u2019t matter what your background is. This will help you open up your mind to new things. It gives you that sense of belief that you can learn anything.\u201d<\/em> story<\/a> | video<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Standard Bank, Africa\u2019s largest bank in terms of assets, Vanessa Welgemoed was on the team that modified the company\u2019s app-building process. They put in a process to elicit ideas from departments that needed apps. Those who shared these ideas were also invited to learn how to build the apps themselves, so there weren\u2019t reliant on central IT teams for all automation. With this implementation in place, Standard Bank collectively created over 400 Power Apps solutions spread across almost every department in the company. \u201cWe sat with the business and within 24 hours we were able to produce the first app and we deployed it within the first week. This truly shows Power Apps can transform the way we do business.\u201d<\/em> story<\/a> | presentation<\/a> | case study<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At G&J Pepsi, the largest family-owned bottler for Pepsi-Cola products, Eric McKinney was on the IT team managing the company\u2019s migration to the cloud and rolling out services such as Office 365 and Skype. He substituted a paper-based store audit process with Power Apps. With real-time reporting, the company was able to respond much more quickly to issues and reduce errors. On top of that, he used rich Power BI reports to derive insights over the aggregated data such as their top in-store competitors on a per-region basis. Eric went on to build several more solutions and taught others how to build apps and automation. He is now Enterprise Infrastructure Director with a team that leads innovation, cloud platforms, support and cybersecurity and G&J Pepsi\u2019s adoption of Dynamics 365. \u201cWhen you build these raw, fresh ideas, without the need to manage an underlying core infrastructure, that\u2019s incredible. That\u2019s really empowering as an IT person.\u201d<\/em> story<\/a> | video<\/a> | presentation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
