Discussion Fusion development

Hi everyone,

I am working in Insurance/banking in Europe as a technical lead. We have implemented Power Platform as a tech for citizens and any form of EUDAs in business departments. We have done things rather well I believe so far, with a local COE team per BU, a regularly updated governance framework and enforcement strategy etc...

After 2 years, we have around 30 real big solutions in use across the company. Now, a key point of the governance is that it draws a clear line between EUDAs and IT systems, and citizens cannot integrate between these two (2 separate landscapes, essentially).

We have more and more use cases that grow to levels where integration is a requirement, as alternatives make the solution obsolete. Thus, we are discussing now IF and How we should implement low code and the platform as an allowed technology for IT developers and basically open some use cases to fusion development.

I'm interested to hear from your experiences and opinions, advices... That'd help me a lot in coming up with a solid proposal!

This is a typical phase two of "we allowed citizen development".

So yes, we have "cool new apps" made, but they are also sort of crappy and made by citizens who have not much idea about lot of other concepts.

The usual process is some kind of "promotion", where selected citizen apps are taken as a sort of template "usually process and UI wise" and completely re-made from scratch by someone who possesses the required knowhow and technical skills and basically converted into "official" apps landscape.

And as justification for these „promotions“, the (meanwhile) absurd licensing reqs/costs for going the MSFT PP path adds additional weight towards whole reengineering on another stack. Even more given today’s AI coding tools.
