Case Study: Arm achieves thriving low-code adoption and streamlined governance with Microsoft Power Apps

Arm enables low-code adoption with a thriving Power Platform Center of Excellence

Arm, a Cambridge‑based semiconductor and software design company, was seeing rapid low‑code adoption that created app sprawl, dozens of environments, and uncertainty about who was building what. To gain visibility and support its citizen‑developer community, Arm turned to Microsoft Power Apps and the Power Platform Center of Excellence (CoE) Starter Kit, alongside Power BI, Microsoft Teams and SharePoint, to establish governance and nurture makers.

Using Microsoft Power Apps’ CoE Starter Kit, Arm implemented monitoring and tenant hygiene via Power BI dashboards, an archive‑scoring process coupled with hands‑on outreach, and a SharePoint/Teams knowledge and community hub plus coaching clinics. The approach cut environments by 66% and apps by 80% while increasing app makers by 22%, delivering streamlined environments, better governance, and higher‑value apps supported by a daily Power Platform Health Status.
