Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between canvas and model-driven Power Apps?

Canvas apps provide pixel-perfect UI control with drag-and-drop design — ideal for mobile-first and custom UX. Model-driven apps are built on Dataverse with auto-generated forms and views — ideal for complex business processes like case management, CRM, and asset tracking.

What is Microsoft Dataverse and do I need it for Power Apps?

Dataverse is the enterprise data platform underlying Power Apps model-driven apps, Dynamics 365, and Copilot Studio. Canvas apps can use Dataverse or connect directly to SharePoint, SQL Server, Excel, and 1,000+ other sources. EPC Group recommends Dataverse for any app requiring relationships, security roles, or audit trails.

How much does Power Apps development cost?

Custom Power Apps development typically runs $15K-$75K depending on complexity. A basic form-over-data app costs $15K-$25K, a multi-screen workflow app costs $25K-$50K, and a complex enterprise app with Dataverse, integrations, and offline capabilities costs $50K-$75K.

Can Power Apps replace custom .NET or SharePoint applications?

In many cases, yes. Power Apps can replace legacy InfoPath forms, SharePoint Designer workflows, and simple .NET applications at lower cost and faster delivery. EPC Group assesses your existing applications and recommends Power Apps modernization where it delivers ROI.

How does EPC Group approach Power Apps governance?

EPC Group implements DLP policies, environment strategies, naming conventions, solution packaging, and ALM (application lifecycle management) pipelines. This ensures citizen-developed apps are secure, maintainable, and don't create data sprawl or shadow IT risks.

Power Apps app types

Canvas apps

Model-driven apps

Model-driven apps are built on the Dataverse data model. The app structure follows your data schema — ideal for CRM-style apps, case management, and complex multi-entity workflows. They share a consistent UI automatically.

Power Pages

Power Pages (formerly Power Apps Portals) are external-facing websites built on Dataverse. Use them for customer self-service portals, partner portals, and grant management sites — with row-level security for external users.

Frequently asked questions

What is Microsoft Power Apps?

Power Apps is Microsoft's low-code platform for building custom business apps. It includes canvas apps (flexible UI), model-driven apps (Dataverse-structured), and Power Pages (external portals). Apps connect to 400+ data sources without writing server-side code.

How much does Power Apps development cost?

EPC Group Power Apps projects start at $15,000 for a single-app proof of concept (2–4 weeks). Multi-app standard deployments with governance run $35,000– $60,000. Enterprise transformations with full CoE and managed services start at $75,000. Microsoft licensing adds $5–$20/user/month.

What is the difference between canvas and model-driven apps?

Canvas apps give you a blank canvas for custom layouts — best for task-specific tools. Model-driven apps auto-generate the UI from your Dataverse data model — best for complex, data-heavy apps like CRM or case management. EPC Group helps you choose during the architecture phase.

Can Power Apps handle HIPAA data?

Yes — with proper configuration. Power Apps runs on Azure infrastructure with HIPAA BAA support. PHI must be handled with Dataverse row-level security, DLP policies blocking unapproved connectors, and audit logging. EPC Group configures all HIPAA controls for healthcare app deployments.

Do I need a developer to build Power Apps?

Basic Power Apps can be built by citizen developers (no coding required). Complex apps with custom connectors, Dataverse schema design, and Power Automate integrations benefit from professional development. EPC Group provides both citizen developer training and professional app development services.
