Power Platform is a collective term primarily for Microsoft products including Power BI, PowerApps and Power Automate (Flow). Also, they help us to manipulate, surface, automate and analyse data used with Office 365 and Dynamics 365 together with third-party apps and other Microsoft services. Moreover, the success of the Power Platform is due to the Common Data Service, that acts as an underlying data platform. It provides a unified and simplified data schema to allows applications and services to inter-operate.

Importance of Power Platform

  • Firstly, it enables data democratisation i.e., the ability for digital information to be accessible to the typical (non-technical) end user.
  • Secondly, it offers technologies that permits staff to do more with their data themselves without coding knowledge.
  • Thirdly,  it provide a simple method for most users to be able to create, automate or analyse their data.

Power Platform and Microsoft strategy

  • Power Platform connects to a wide range of data sources that incorporate third-party apps like Google Analytics and Twitter. But, it is extremely powerful while working with Office 365 and Dynamics 365.
  • Microsoft Power Platform helps unlock the potential of Dynamics 365 and Office 365 faster than you ever before. This helps to easily extend, customise and integrate the Microsoft services.
  • Microsoft Power Platform is one of the biggest investment areas that regularly updates as the products mature. The Power Platform acts a primary player in bringing all technologies closer together, by connecting services including Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365 and Azure with a low-code/no-code approach.
