Understanding Microsoft Power Platform
During the mid 2000’s Microsoft looked like it could potentially be eclipsed by Silicon Valley Tech companies “moving fast and breaking things” whilst Microsoft released a series of seemingly undynamic products.
By 2014 with the appointment of a new CEO , Microsoft managed to quadruple it’s share price and remain the most valuable public company in the world by focusing on open source, gaming, mobile and of course cloud computing.
In this article we aim to outline the benefits of Microsoft Power Platform, which encompasses four Microsoft products designed to empower Enterprise customers with improved work flows, data insights and powerful automation.
Which products make up the Microsoft Power Platform?
Power BI: A business analytics tool that enables users to visualise and share insights from their data.
Power BI provides interactive dashboards and reports, allowing your business to make data-driven decisions.
Power Apps: A low-code development platform that allows users to create custom apps with little to no coding.
Power Apps empowers both developers and non-developers to build applications tailored to your business needs.
Power Automate: Formerly known as Microsoft Flow, Power Automate is an automation tool that enables the creation of workflows to automate repetitive tasks and business processes.
Power Automate integrates with various services and applications to streamline your workflows and increase productivity.
Power Virtual Agents: A tool for creating chatbots and virtual agents without the need for extensive coding.
It allows users to build intelligent, conversational interfaces to engage with users and customers.
What are the benefits of Microsoft Power Platform for your business?
Managing your business processes through a single platform
Departments using disparate systems with no synergy across your business can cause huge headaches. With no central point for processes many businesses find themselves unable to access vital information housed within the company. Power Automate can help your business to centralise and improve your processes, removing the need for multiple third party applications that can potentially hinder productivity.
Keeping your data secure
There’s a reason that most businesses trust Microsoft with their business critical data and applications compared with similar providers such as Google workspace, security is at the heart of all Microsoft products. Microsoft Power Platform is no exception to this rule with data stored via IRAP certified Azure data centres. When deployed through an MSP security of your critical applications and data can be ascendant to what can be achieved in house.
Designed for all types of employees
You don’t need to be a professional coder to use Power Apps, in fact just the opposite. Designed with a low to no code approach the Microsoft Power platform really opens up the opportunity for all employees to engage with better data insights, time saving automations and productivity increasing work flows. The platform evens allows for AI leverage with minimal involvement from an internal IT department.
Collaboration & Productivity across your business
With remote working now common across many sectors, digital collaboration tools are an essential component to any functioning IT ecosystem. Without spending on additional third party applications your team can utilise Microsoft Power Platform to collaborate via Teams, Sharepoint, One Drive and Power Point using simple drag and drop features and one user interface.
Easy adoption, easy use
Your business and employees are already using Microsoft, why add additional third party products to your roster? Take the Microsoft products you know and trust plus the powerful tools included in the Microsoft Power Platform to create an unstoppably productive IT suite.
Microsoft Power Platform has a range of benefits for your business, from creating productive work flows to being ready for AI adoption.
