The Ministry of SaskBuilds and Procurement’s (SBP) Information Technology Division (ITD) supports the development and maintenance of Low Code/No Code (LC/NC) applications built with Microsoft Power Platform.
LC/NC Tools
LC/NC tools use drag and drop features to build applications, forms and workflows. They allow employees to create applications, automate processes and analyze data without needing advanced coding skills.
Microsoft Power Platform
Microsoft Power Platform is one of many LC/NC tools being used across government. It is secure and is built on the same trusted technology as Microsoft 365.
New requests for Microsoft Power Platform services can be submitted using the Power Platform Service Request in ServiceNow or by contacting ITD’s Business Relationship Management team at itstrategymanagement@gov.sk.ca. Costs may apply.

Managing Applications
While ministries will manage many of their own LC/NC applications, ITD will provide centralized support for Microsoft Power Platform solutions that:
- Are public-facing or cross-ministry
- Involve external agencies or sensitive data
- Run critical business processes
ITD support for applications is not limited to the criteria above. ITD will be monitoring applications in the Power Platform environment and will reach out to ministries to migrate applications that require ITD to support. You can assess if your existing applications require ITD support using the LC/NC Decision Tree. Ministries can also opt into having ITD manage their applications even if they are not required to.
LC/NC Development and Maintenance Policy
The Low code/No Code Development and Maintenance Policy helps ministries to use LC/NC automation while ensuring centralized oversight, Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act compliance, and mitigation of key risks to data, operations and intellectual property.
