Microsoft Power Platforms allow businesses to automate many daily business processes
such as analysis thanks to its thousands of functions. Before we get to know these
platforms, which are referred to as Microsoft's low code products, let's talk about what low
code is. Low Code is being able to create something almost without using coding languages
or using very little coding language. Since it is compatible with Office 365 and Dynamics
365, you can quickly realize many data exchanges. In this way, Microsoft Power Platforms
help you to analyze data without the need for any deep technical knowledge in businesses,
to personalize and visualize the analysis results, and even to design a web application
where you can do all this.
(Microsoft Platforms are built on the Common Data Service (CDS) for applications).
Power Apps
Power Apps allows you to quickly and easily create custom applications for your business
needs with little or no code knowledge. It also offers you a much more flexible working
environment with the ability to synchronize with Microsoft's other business applications. It
allows you to connect to external data sources or store data directly in your application and
analyze, analyze and create graphs and forms using these data sources. It includes three
different models: canvas, model-based and portal. Let's talk about them in order.
If the model you use when creating an application on Power Apps is canvas, you will see the
pages in a slide layout. In fact, the logic is quite similar to the PowerPoint layout. You create
and organize the pages of your application as if you were making a slide.
In model-based applications, the focus is on adding components such as tables, charts,
views, forms, etc. By linking them together, you can create applications with many different
features. This model also has some advantages. The development process is relatively fast
thanks to component-oriented and comprehensive designers. The user interface is similar
across many devices.
Portal applications are developed and edited through Power Pages. It includes tools such as
Portal Management Application Power Platform CLI.
Power BI
You can make comprehensive visualizations of your business's monthly profit and loss,
sales-marketing, surveys to your customers or employees, and any business functions you
do or receive. The shortcuts and tools it offers allow you to highly customize your dashboard.
Power Automate
It allows you to make automations that are integrated with different applications. In fact,
when we look at it, while it allows us to do many things without code, on the other hand, you
can perform the operation you need to do through Automate at the points where code is
needed thanks to the modules. If we say where these points can be, you can say analyzing
and controlling your data, getting data from an external application, exporting data, sending
and automating mail to large groups, and you can increase the number of them.
Power Virtual Agent
Virtual Agent allows you to create chatbots with strong artificial intelligence support without
using code. It is very easy to integrate with your data, the services and products you provide
daily. With these bots, you can easily solve problems with your customers and answer
frequently asked questions. You can use it as a stand-alone application or you can add it to
Microsoft Teams.
