Case Study: Deutsche Bahn achieves innovation at scale with Microsoft Power Apps

Deutsche Bahn - Customer Case Study

Deutsche Bahn, Europe’s largest rail network with more than a billion train-path kilometers and over 292,000 employees, aimed to accelerate innovation in business applications as part of its digital transformation. To support this goal, the company adopted Microsoft Power Apps and the broader Microsoft Power Platform to give teams low-code tools for building solutions.

Using Microsoft Power Apps (alongside Power Automate, Power BI, and Dataverse), DB first equipped professional developers and then made the tools available to every employee, creating a fast-growing community of citizen developers; “after one year, we have 4,000 people in the community attending workshops and showcases and other learning events, and now they all inspire and excite each other.” The community of more than 4,000 is producing apps that save time and reduce costs, with the potential to scale that impact across the entire Deutsche Bahn organization.
