Microsoft Power Platform — Empower Organizations to Digital Transform with Modern Solutions
Why is Power Platform Important?
Data is growing at the rate of light in the digital age. The volume of businesses producing data is growing which is causing everyone to become more dependent on data. Since all the data produced is inevitable but it’s not worth the effort unless businesses gain insights and understanding from it. In the sense that they realize tangible advantages.
The way things were done was traditional, IT/Development teams would handle the analysis of data, app development and automation. This requires staff to write out their needs and expectations and submit the requests to their IT department then wait to find out whether it was approved and wait for the app to be created.
The process is time-consuming and will require substantial internal resources, or could be expensive if done externally. Additionally, the solutions that are demanded tend to be in urgent need which means that waiting weeks could lead to delays for the organization.
This is the point at which Microsoft Power Platform is able to help. Microsoft Power Platform partner, PositiveEdge permits data democratization, i.e., the expertise to make digital information that is accessible to the common non-technical user.
