We are back again with a summary of another successful webinar. In this webinar blog, we will be discussing how you can streamline your business using Microsoft’s Power Platform along with SharePoint! Our webinar explored the most common questions that we regularly ran into while working with business data:
- How much does it cost to build custom solutions?
- How to build customizable apps without coding?
- How can we automate and secure workflows quickly?

The answer is, of course integrating the Power Platform with SharePoint! This dynamic coupling allows users to create solutions that solve workflow and process challenges faster. In this webinar, we showed our audience how these technologies work together, make it easy to measure business success, act on the results, and automate process workflows.
However, if recordings are too long and tedious for you, just read ahead, and we will walk you through the entire webinar. Our presenters, Robert Wenstrand and Nick Craig, gave our audience a detailed overview of the Power-Eco System along with a demonstration of how this fantastic platform, along with Microsoft SharePoint, can solve business challenges.

What is the Power Platform?
The platform is essentially a grouped product offering that helps Microsoft’s clients build complex business solutions, draw, and dissect data visualizations, build virtual agents, and automate business processes. The products offered are simple GUIs. This allows them to be easily created by business users since no advanced coding knowledge is required.
The Microsoft Power Platform includes:
- Power BI – for analyzing data obtained from various sources.

SharePoint is perhaps the best web-based document management and collaborative solution out there. However, it offers its client much more than that.
