Benefits of the Microsoft Power Platform
More efficiency, productivity, profitability and innovation? That sounds great – but how exactly is that supposed to work?
- By quickly and easily creating applications (apps) based on low code and no code, more applications can be created in less time than would be possible using traditional methods, such as developing from scratch. Process automation with Power Automate helps reduce manual tasks, thereby saving time and money and becoming more efficient and productive overall.
- There are ready-made tools on the market today for many business processes. However, these usually have to be adapted to the individual requirements of the organization, if at all possible. If this has been done successfully, many organizations often only use fractions of the expensive software solution. The Power Platform, on the other hand, offers the possibility of building exactly the solutions that the organization or parts of the organization need with manageable effort. The type of implementation and the scope of the functionality are based exclusively on the individual requirements. Should these change, a citizen developer can implement a change more quickly and in a more targeted manner than is the case with so-called “standard software”.
- A key factor in the rapid and cost-effective development of new solutions is the simple data integration of third-party and other recording systems. With Dataverse in conjunction with the more than 1,000 standardized connectors, companies are able to solve most interface issues quickly and easily because the necessary connectors already exist “out of the box” and are immediately available. This helps to replace costly legacy systems because they become superfluous. In addition, more business-critical data can be used for new solutions because they are safe from external access in Dataverse. If an individual interface is still required because it is not included in the 1,000 connectors, it can be developed as web services interfaces (API) on the Power Platform.
- The effectiveness of applications and process automations created on the Power Platform can be significantly increased if Dataverse is used as a backend. This makes it possible to scale solutions company-wide without the use of additional technologies, so that the associated savings potential can also be rolled out across the entire company.
- Analytics tools like Power BI can help improve business insights and make data-driven decisions using easy-to-understand reports and dashboards. Decision makers and employees can keep an eye on their numbers and actively stay on track.
Whether a company is able to adapt quickly to changing requirements influences its competitiveness. With the Microsoft Power Platform, it is possible to quickly deploy new applications and change workflows, giving companies the flexibility and agility they need.
At what point should professional developers provide support during development?
Whether and to what extent a company is able to benefit from the Power Platform depends essentially on the specific requirements, the respective framework conditions in the company and a qualified implementation of the technology. It is therefore essential to introduce the Microsoft Power Platform into the company to plan carefully and coordinate with the overall IT strategyin order to achieve the desired benefits. A sensible approach would be to get support from a team of experts in this area who can help with the professional planning and development of the platform. This often also involves issues such as compliance and governance, where teams of experts with the relevant specialist knowledge and project experience can be a very valuable support.
Dataverse and SharePoint can be used as backends for the Power Platform. In the design phase, it is therefore necessary to select the appropriate Have a technical understanding of correct data modellingCustom connectors, i.e. individual interfaces that are required, for example, to connect an old ERP system or a self-developed application, are also topics that a professional can help with. Basically, all complex use cases (with or without business-critical data) are topics that can exceed the capabilities of a “citizen developer” and therefore require professional assistance.
