Overview

As the demand for business applications continues to outpace supply of development capacity, organizations are leaning upon low-code /no-code solutions to distribute application development and support. And while the rise in citizen development programs has helped to meet demand effectively, it has also introduced new challenges.

Rockhop can work with your organization in structuring a Power Platform Co-op and applications support service to meet ongoing application needs. We work with our clients to streamline demand management, match business objectives to investment decisions, structure enabling governance models, and address ongoing application development and support.
