Hands-on training for manufacturing company leaders interested in learning how to create business apps.

Do your teams sometimes seem swamped in paperwork yet short of timely information they need to make good decisions?

In a May webinar, Manufacturing Works highlighted an in-house solution that local manufacturers are now using to optimize data flow within their operations—custom business apps. We heard how non-IT people are helping owners to successfully address nagging plant problems by creating unique apps with affordable new low-code software.

Breakthroughs include elimination of time-consuming paperwork, display of real-time data that tracks team performance, and creation of "smart" orders that build quality into the production process.

Reaction to the program was strong and specific:

• Is this kind of programming really doable with our current staff?
• How do we get started?
• If we need it, how do we get help?

Today we're pleased to announce a follow-on training session for companies interested in learning more. With the help of Cleveland-area experts, we've created a two-hour program to help you with next steps, including:

• An overview of the most common tools
• A deeper dive into the Microsoft Power Platform, including licensing and costs
• What else you need to consider as you develop this process
• When to consider using a business app as a solution to a business problem
• Examples of problems before and after a successful app
• Hands-on help creating your first business app—a visitor's log, which can be used for guests and as a training tool for future apps
