Microsoft Power Platform: The Self-Service Key for Analysts to Create Customized Solutions

The Microsoft Power Platform empowers organizations to automate business processes, develop their own rich app experiences in a low-code environment, and connect with customers better and faster. Power Platform is comprised of four key products: Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, and Power Virtual Agents. By using these tools, analysts will learn to perform discovery, capture requirements, engage subject matter experts and stakeholders, translate requirements, and configure Power Platform solutions and apps. The goal is to provide self-service solutions, so analysts don’t have to spend extra time waiting on: IT department functionality approval, developers to create needed apps, or data and system integration. Now business processes and visualizations can be created by any team member at any time.
