Automate tasks, create apps, and analyze
data effortlessly with Power Platform.
What is the Power Platform?
It’s a suite of great low-code, no-code tools that allow you to extend your existing solutions, such as Dynamics 365 and Microsoft 365. The tools can even extend non-Microsoft solutions your organization is using, such as ERP systems or social media platforms.
It comes with five main components:
Power Automate
Power Automate is a productivity tool that automates day-to-day processes, saving your team time and optimizing cost savings. You can sync it with everyday productivity tools like Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, and more.
Power BI
Power BI provides you with a set of analytics tools to help you create rich, interactive reports with modern data visualizations for better insights and quicker decision-making capabilities.
Power Apps
Microsoft Power Apps is a flexible, low-code app-building tool that allows you to create custom apps for your business processes. Whether you are a developer or have no coding experience, Power Apps makes app building simple and accessible.
Copilot Studios
Previously known as Power Virtual Agents – now part of Microsoft Copilots – are versatile and customizable chatbots. You can speak with chatbots to make reservations, select products, answer questions, and assist with industry-specific situations.
Power Pages
Power Pages are websites your customers can go to and submit support tickets or report issues that can be routed to your customer support team. You can program it, so these cases get directly added to your CRM system.
The study notes a 45% decrease in application development costs, showcasing Power Platform’s ability to reduce expenses while enhancing productivity. These findings underscore the platform’s role as a transformative tool that enables businesses to innovate and thrive in a competitive market.

How it Works
Automate Repetitive Tasks
Power Platform allows Dynamics users to automate repetitive tasks, saving time and increasing productivity. Whether you’re an experienced developer or have no experience with development, the low-code tool makes it easy to streamline your workflow.
Low-Code, No-Code App Building
With low-code, no-code tools, Power Platform empowers your Microsoft Dynamics users to easily extend their existing solutions, creating a more seamless and integrated experience for both employees and customers.
Harness Business Intelligence
Power BI consolidates data from various sources and transforms it into reports and valuable insights. These analytics lead to informed decision-making and helps in understanding customer behaviors and market trends.
Flexibility Across Solutions
Power Platform isn’t limited to Dynamics solutions – it can also extend non- Dynamics solutions like ERPs, providing a flexible and comprehensive platform for all your business needs.
What Does Low-Code No-Code Mean?
You might recall we used this term above. When talking about technology, the term low-code no-code applies to citizen developers. It simply means that you don’t need to be an expert in coding to use these tools and non-technical or semi-technical people can use them easily. It’s very intuitive and user-friendly.
Power Platform is even wading into AI with Microsoft Copilot. If you are on a cloud-based Microsoft solution, you can describe what you want to build to Copilot and it will help you establish the base of what you want to create. From there you can go in and move things around, drag and drop different elements, and make sure everything is done to your specifications.
