Let's Talk Power!

What is the Power Platform?

The Power Platform is a suite of low-code tools that enable everyday users to create impactful resources for their team. Microsoft has crafted an intuitive interface that makes creating dashboards, custom apps, and even AI agents something that most everyone can do. This opens a new door of possibilities when it comes to business productivity.

Let’s explore the arsenal of tools available inside the Power Platform

Power BI

Power BI is a business intelligence application that helps organizations make smarter decisions by transforming your data into clear, interactive visuals. Power BI connects seamlessly to your existing data sources, including Dynamics 365, and gives you the tools necessary to more effectively explore and understand your data. This is helpful as you track performance over time, identify trends, and uncover previously hidden business opportunities.

Power Automate

Power Automate is built to help you automate repetitive manual processes through workflows. It connects with hundreds of apps and services and allows you to trigger actions, collect data, send notifications, and more. All of this is accomplished without writing code. You can even create a trigger in one system and it will create actions in other systems.

Power Apps

Power Apps greatly simplify the development of custom business apps. These apps can connect to numerous data sources and will run seamlessly across all devices. App creation is simple with drag-and-drop editors and are helpful in solving specific organizational challenges.

Power Pages

Power Pages enables organizations to create, host, and manage modern, data-driven websites for external users. Power Pages allows users to build responsive websites using a visual design studio, easy to customize templates, and seamless integration with Microsoft Dataverse. These sites can display or collect data for Dynamics 365, making it easy to deliver personalized and scalable web experiences without extensive coding.

Copilot Studios

Copilot Studio is a conversational AI platform that lets you build custom agents using natural language or a visual interface. Whether you're designing for internal teams or external users, you can easily create, test, and deploy agents tailored to your specific industry, department, or role. Choose to launch your agent as a standalone experience or integrate it directly into Microsoft 365 Copilot.

The Power Platform in Dynamics 365

While these services are often promoted as a separate entity, it’s important to understand that Power Platform is foundational to how Dynamics 365 actually works - not an optional add-on. Let's take a look a how the power platform can be leveraged across Dynamics 365 Business Applications.
