Microsoft Power Platform

Microsoft
Power Platform

 

What is Power Platform?

Power Platform is a suite of tools to help you build and deploy business apps, create processes and workflows, and gain insight with real-time dashboards and reporting.

With Microsoft Power Platform, you can drive value and insight out of Microsoft 365 through low-code apps, business process automation and business intelligence.

Your business generates tons of data every day. But you can only realise the true value of this data if you have the means to understand it and act on that understanding.

So what if, rather than just generating data, you could analyse, manipulate and make use of it? Microsoft Power Platform makes it easy to make more of your corporate data.

This, combined with an appreciation of the worldwide IT skills shortage, led Microsoft to create a toolset which puts the power of app creation within the grasp of ordinary business users.

You can manipulate and customise Microsoft 365 to an incredible degree, automating processes, simplifying data management and gaining insight into your data that you can actually act on.

logo-power-platform

 

How Power Platform Works

Behind the scenes, all Microsoft 365 apps speak the same universal ‘language’.

Data created by one app can be understood by another. Power Platform lets you take advantage of this fact and manipulate your business data, regardless of where it’s stored or what app was originally used to create it.

Microsoft has carefully designed Power Platform to be very straightforward to use, yet still offer users the ability to create incredibly powerful applications.

Rather than relying on IT to impose change, this encourages everyone in your organisation to play an active role in its digital transformation.

Three core products make up Power Platform: Power Apps, Power Automate and Power BI. Together, they let you discover, manipulate, automate and understand business data. The platform lets you make connections between apps, such as Microsoft Teams and SharePoint, and even link up with third-party software like Salesforce and Workday.

Core uses Power Platform to develop apps, workflows and dashboards that make our customers’ lives easier. But we also believe you should become self-sufficient in understand and being able to use the tools. We are happy to train your team in how to get the most out of Power Platform, so you can drive real value out of your business data.

icon-power-appsAct with Power Apps


Power Apps lets you develop custom, low-code/no-code applications. Using a simple drag-and-drop user interface, you can quickly create apps to surface and input data. The resulting apps can be run on most devices and are available on most operating systems, and are mobile-friendly.

Power Apps has experienced an enormous uptake since its initial release, and at Core we’ve already helped many of our customers take advantage of this fantastic technology. The future of Power Apps includes the integration of emerging technologies such as machine learning, computer vision and artificial intelligence, letting you build apps that can reliably make informed decisions on your behalf.
