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.
