Deliver Agile and Codeless Solutions with the Microsoft Power Platform
As technology advancements and automation continue to streamline the business world, companies must accelerate their workload improvements to keep pace. Choosing to deliver agile solutions with the Microsoft Power Platform can help to drastically reduce ramp-up time, and development costs while meeting and even exceeding business needs.
This session will provide real-life business scenarios and examples that have successfully harnessed Flow and the Power Platform, to rapidly develop and deploy real-world solutions which have provided tangible results. Join this session to see how the Microsoft Power Platform can empower you to deliver code-less and agile solutions to your business in a matter of days, rather than months or years.
This presentation can be adjusted as required. While the initial submission is to highlight Power Automate and the Power Platform as a whole, it can easily be adapted to focus on one or more key areas or components of the Power Platform, up to and including a technical deep dive.
Examples: Utilizing Flow to update and manage SharePoint lists, or managing a multi-tenant document submission workflow utilizing Microsoft Power Automate and SharePoint Online. Or, it can dive deeper into the underlying architecture of the Power Platform, including the Dynamics API, Workflow Definition Language and Common Data Services.
Like the Power Platform itself, this presentation and demo can be agile and adjust to the needs of organizers as desired. In the end, my goal is to show others how embracing the Power Platform can enable them to rapidly meet the technology needs of their business users.
Utilize Microsoft Power Platform for Open Data Gathering and Reporting
There are countless publicly available datasets that could provide you with invaluable insight for your business, however, many times that data isn't easily accessible or understandable without context. Using Microsoft Power Platform, learn how you can turn raw data into valuable insights.
In this discussion and demonstration session, join Brad Groux as he outlines Microsoft's Power Platform, which can empower to you to automate the data gathering process, while streamlining the data's organization.
In the live demo, you'll learn how to scrape real-time web data with Power Automate and compile that raw data into a common data source, and then showcase that data in an easy to understand reporting dashboard with Power BI and integrations with PowerApps.
This session provides the base building blocks for knowledge gathering, analyzation and distribution of publicly available datasets - however the presentation can be adjusted as required. It can be crafted at a higher level for beginners or executive decision makers, or become more complex by providing a deeper dive into the technical details.
Like the Power Platform itself, this demo can be agile and adjust to the needs of organizers as desired. In the end, my goal is to show others how embracing the Power Platform can enable them to rapidly meet the technology needs of their business users.
