Microsoft Power Platform
Microsoft Power Platform is a low-code platform for rapidly building customised end-to-end business solutions.
Power Platform is comprised of Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages, Power BI, and Copilot Studio. All built on, and leveraging, the Microsoft Dataverse, each component gives organisations the ability to meet unique business goals or create holistic, end-to-end solutions. This can include creating and enhancing analytics, automating legacy and manual process, or building functionally rich, bespoke applications.
The platform’s low-code method allows everyone in an organisation – from frontline staff to professional developers – to contribute to the creation of business solutions that drive positive results. Professional developers can work in conjunction with citizen developers to improve business solutions and address complex needs by using the platform’s various code extension capabilities. Thanks to a native integration with Azure, developers can use their cloud development skills to enhance Microsoft Power Platform with different Azure services. With a low-code integrated development method, business objectives can be reached faster, giving developers more time.
