In recent years, there has been a major shift toward digital platforms that make meeting business needs easier. Users need easy to adopt online tools that can help their businesses succeed -- without overwhelming their budget or staff with development demands.
The early adoption of business intelligence products such as Power BI or Tableau shows where this trend is heading. With these products, businesses can grab an affordable license and get access to usable, accurate data to power their business decisions.
The trend expands to show a demand for affordable, low-code/no-code products that can continue to be developed. Overall, there is high demand for products that help empower staff and meet digital transformation needs. Solutions must be made easy to use and ready for immediate use.
Microsoft has recognized this need with the creation of their Power Platform.
What is Microsoft Power Platform?
Power Platform is a Microsoft suite of business applications including Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power Virtual Agents. These applications help businesses address challenges with data visualization, application development, task automation, and virtual assistance.
These applications can connect together, as well as integrate with Office 365, Dynamic 365, Azure, and hundreds of other apps. Building end-to-end business solutions can be done with ease and confidence. Learn the power behind each app with a quick overview and video introduction of each product.
Power BI
Power BI is a full service business analytics tool that specializes in data visualization. It provides interactive layouts and business intelligence, with a user friendly interface. Users can make immediate, informed and data-driven business decisions with customizable, shareable reports and dashboards.
Power Apps
Power Apps is a rapid, low-code application development platform, focusing on bringing the ability to create apps to everyone. Seamlessly create web and mobile applications with its simple interface. It allows for drag and drop simplicity and more open extensibility for professional developers.
Power Automate
Power Automate (formerly Power Flow) is a service that helps you automate workflows between your apps, services, and paperless processes. Boost productivity and cut time off daily, repetitive tasks by automating notifications, business processes, and data movement between systems.
Power Virtual Agents
Power Virtual Agents enables organizations to create chatbots with no code required. The AI-powered chatbots are able to be integrated with everyday products and services and customized. They can easily handle internal (think workflows and task management) or external (think customer interaction) operations.
How to Get Started (and do it right)
Many businesses struggle to get started with their digital transformation. Pivoting from their current set-up to newer applications and processes brings up many questions. A few concerns that typically occur:
- What are the best practices (and products) for my business?
- How do I set up my tools to be adaptable for my rapidly changing and growing business?
- How do I correctly use and integrate the Power Platform applications?
- How can I best manage my data (storage, usage, and security)?
- How do I properly set-up organizational roles?
- Do I have the right staff in terms of capability and capacity?
Quite a few businesses already rely on Microsoft Office applications such as Microsoft Word or Excel. Many are ready to add Microsoft Office 365, Dynamics 365, or Azure for a more high-powered connection and usage. This can be a large undertaking, but can have a massive positive effect on many aspects of an organization.
One digital aspect that can be positively affected by upgrading systems is data. Companies already invest deeply in storing, securing, and utilizing it properly. With a full scope of connections, such as those provided by Microsoft, data use is higher quality. It brings value to a company through its ease of use, quality, and analytic reflections.
