What happens when a mobile app becomes the only tool a field worker has to do their job—no manuals, no backup, just the device? In this episode, Jakub Bajla shares how Resco built a reputation for bulletproof mobility in the Microsoft ecosystem. From offline-first design to empowering citizen developers with PCF components, Jakub reveals how Resco evolved from a niche ISV to a key player in the Power Platform world. If you're building tech that needs to work anywhere, anytime, this episode is a masterclass in reliability and innovation.

🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS
Offline-first design is critical for field operations where connectivity is unreliable—Resco’s mobile solutions thrive in these environments.
Resco’s evolution mirrors the Power Platform’s growth, transitioning from Dynamics-focused mobility to modular components for broader use cases.
Forms+, Docs+, and Steps+ are powerful tools extracted from Resco’s platform, now available as standalone solutions for dynamic forms, PDF generation, and field knowledge sharing.
PCF components empower citizen developers, bridging the gap between technical depth and business value creation.
ISV partnerships with Microsoft are complex, often misunderstood, and require strategic clarity to navigate shifting structures and limited support.
