Now that more companies are moving toward having their workers come back to the office -- at least to some degree -- tech companies are looking for ways to participate in the process. KPMG is using Microsoft's Power Platform low-code/no-code tools to create a new risk-based framework meant to help companies implement a workplace-re-entry program during the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. The framework integrates Power Apps, Power BI and Power Automate with apps and services that customers can use to create a data-driven return-to-work strategy, KPMG officials announced on June 25.
KPMG's "Restarting America program" digital toolkit consists of six major components: A mobile app meant to be used by employees, fans, crews, and others who need to handle wellness tasks like daily check-ins, status reports, travel or stay-at-home requests, etc. This app was built with Power Apps which also can be integrated into Microsoft Teams
KPMG officials said they've built accelerators, or user-customizable blueprints, for each of the six components. The framework pieces plus accelerators are custom-built, so pricing varies depending on integration and other the type of specialized workflows users need built.
