So you’ve set up Microsoft Power Platform… what now?! We have a service that will empower you and your organisation to get the best out of your new tech!

Companies have come a long way improving their internal processes. Yes, we know there are still some paper based ways of working out there (did you read our BMP blog?) but moving things online has changed things. Booking annual leave, tracking appraisal goals, submitting expenses are all examples of processes. Often these are done through Excel, Word or even PowerPoint and you can guarantee whoever created them was pretty happy with themselves!

We’re not here to hate on Excel or Word, they’re great at what they do. But there is new hero in town – the Power Platform. Using the same low code language as Excel, Power Platform has been created to allow the development of in-house apps, meaning processes become a whole lot easier. The best part is that if your organisation has M365 licenses, Power Platform is included; the possibilities of what you could be creating is endless whilst improving your ROI.

Regardless of the industry, every company has champions. The people who take the bull by the horns and crack on with things. These are the same people who tend to manage processes, but they’re not always from an IT or development background. Their ideas are welcome, but fear of the unknown or restrictions from cautious IT teams makes them refrain from experimenting. Hence, Word or Excel, or a quick and easy subscription 3rd party app to the rescue! But what about digital transformation?!

However, the true villain in this story is knowledge. Your champions need the knowledge to get the most from the Power Platform, so today we offer you Power Generator.
