Category: Power Platform

Power Platform is a set of tools that enables everyone to become a developer. It comprises 4 parts: Power Automate, Power BI, Power Apps, and Power Virtual Agents. See where the “Power Platform” comes from? Also, it provides tools that enable you to connect to other parts of Microsoft’s ecosystem like Microsoft 365 (former Office 365), Dynamics 365, Azure, and much more.
If you read my articles, you’ll notice that this is a big focus area. It’s quite amazing what you can do when everything is taken care of for you. Not dealing with infrastructure, servers, code, developers, and much more is a blessing. You only need to bring your business expertise, and you can deploy applications in your organization. Also, you can make your own dashboards or save everyone time by building Flows.
