Microsoft Power Platform

The Microsoft Power Platform is a suite of low-code tools — Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power Virtual Agents — that enable business users and citizen developers to analyse data, build custom applications, automate workflows, and create intelligent chatbots without writing traditional code. By democratising application development and data analysis, Power Platform accelerates digital transformation and reduces IT backlogs.

Power BI transforms raw data into interactive dashboards and reports that reveal business insights. With connectors to hundreds of data sources and AI-powered natural language queries, anyone in the organisation can explore data and make informed decisions. Power Apps enables the creation of custom business applications using a drag-and-drop designer, with pre-built connectors to Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, SQL Server, and third-party services. Applications can be deployed to web and mobile without app store approval.

Power Automate replaces manual, repetitive tasks with automated workflows that span multiple applications and services. Common automations include approval processes, data synchronisation between systems, email notifications based on business events, and document generation. Robotic process automation (RPA) extends automation to legacy applications that lack APIs. Power Virtual Agents creates intelligent chatbots that can be deployed to websites, Teams, and other channels without coding.
