This achievement places Microsoft ahead of competitors in both execution capability and strategic vision, positioning Power Platform as the preferred choice for enterprise digital transformation initiatives.
Microsoft Power Platform today is comprised of: Power BI, Power Apps, Power Pages, Power Automate, Microsoft Copilot Studio, and AI Builder. Each component addresses specific business challenges while maintaining seamless integration across the platform.
Power Apps: Application Development Revolution Apps created with Power Apps can be shared with internal users and can be run in a browser or on a mobile device. You can create following types of apps: canvas and model-driven. This flexibility enables organizations to address diverse user requirements through unified development approaches.
Power Automate: Process Automation Excellence Power Automate is used to automate tasks and orchestrate activities across various services that use integrated or custom connectors. Using Power Automate you can create cloud flows or desktop flows.
Microsoft Dataverse: Enterprise Data Foundation Dataverse is a cloud scale data store that builds on Microsoft's data technologies and abstracts away data management complexity from the app maker. It lets you securely store and manage data that is used by business applications. Business data within Dataverse is stored within a set of data tables.
Power Platform's strength lies in its native integration with Microsoft 365, Azure, and Dynamics 365. For customers who already have an Office 365 tenant, everything you need to get started is already in place. Environments are the logical containers used by Power Platform created under your Azure Active Directory (AAD) tenant. As part of your tenant, it builds on everything you already have setup with AAD to manage users, groups, policies, authentication methods, audit logs, and services.
Modern organizations face significant development challenges. Traditional software development may not move fast enough today to match the speed of change in business. A common development bottleneck for many organizations is the long lead time required to research, write, and test new code. A worldwide shortage of development talent compounds this problem. [7]
Only 13% of employers say they are able to hire and retain the tech talent they need. The vast majority of organizations, then, are going without the IT resources necessary to run their operations optimally.
Successful Power Platform deployment requires structured implementation approaches:
1. System Integration Strategy Once you've acquired a low-code software development platform that meets your requirements, follow these best practices to integrate it into your existing tech stack. Evaluate existing systems. Perhaps your new low-code development platform can replace one or more other systems you have in place.
2. Development Process Evolution Implement a new development approach. Low-code platforms make app development accessible to employees beyond the IT team. Ensure the IT team controls the development process with new safeguards, roles, responsibilities, and procedures, if needed. Some organizations may need to implement a different software development life cycle approach to match the speed and agility of low-code development.
3. Governance and Security Framework Appoint platform administrators, identify users, and conduct training sessions. Ensure that everyone who will use the platform receives the proper training on both the tool itself as well as the internal process for ideating, building, testing, and approving apps. Configure settings. Establish all necessary authentication processes, security settings, and integrations. Conduct a security review. Make sure your settings meet all enterprise security requirements.

Organizations implementing Power Platform through structured training achieve significant operational improvements:
Pacific Gas & Electric, a US utility company that has built over 300 complex solutions delivering over $75 million in savings each year and are also adopting generative AI to further advance their service center chatbot, which alone saves $1.1 million each year in helpdesk support.
Cineplex, one of Canada's leading media and entertainment companies, has saved 30,000 hours (approximately 3.5 years) and over $1 million in the past two years by leveraging automation and copilots built on Microsoft Power Platform to improve overall customer service and reduce query handling time from 15 minutes to just 30 seconds.
Low-code applications offer significant cost savings over traditional application development. While the Microsoft Power Platform doesn't always eliminate the need for professional developers, using these tools can free up your developer talent to work on more challenging projects, potentially saving the expense of hiring additional developers to handle them. In addition, low-code development can produce applications up to 10 times faster than when a traditional software development process is used. We all know time is money, and the sooner you release your new strategic applications, whether they serve your employees or customers, the sooner you can realize their intended benefits in your business.
Implementing a successful low-code development platform depends on well-defined policies and strategies, and citizen developer governance helps to define roles and responsibilities and minimize security risks. Governance influences how an organization's goals are set and achieved, how risk is monitored and addressed, and how performance is optimized. It encompasses the processes that direct and control your organization and hold it accountable. Applying these factors to low-code governance helps to build stakeholder confidence, lay a foundation to achieve high performance, and enable your organization to respond to constant change when using low-code tools.
To help prevent operational and security risks, application permissions must be enforced in low-code development. The low-code platform you choose should already implement access controls and permissions, but without specific access requirements, organizations won't really know what low-code developers are doing with data. Depending on other security factors in the application, sensitive data could be exposed in the public domain and cybercriminals could gain access to your network. Tasking your IT professionals with granting application permissions helps to ensure that low-code developers aren't making high-level decisions that are beyond their scope of responsibility. IT pros have the knowledge and experience to review the code and determine if the app is connecting to a site with poor governance or less-than-strict permissions.
Gartner predicts that by 2028, "Agentic AI will be implemented via enterprise LCAPs in four out of five businesses globally." This prediction underscores the critical importance of establishing Power Platform expertise now to prepare for AI-driven business transformation.
With AI and low-code, writing boilerplate code, debugging, conducting routine software maintenance, performing code reviews, and managing deployments can be done by an AI assistant, allowing the developer to work on the interesting, creative challenges that drive business impact. We've seen this ourselves at Microsoft. In a recent survey—quantifying GitHub Copilot's impact on developer productivity and happiness—96% of respondents say AI increases their speed with repetitive tasks. They also say using AI makes them happier. Between 60% and75% of surveyed users said using the tool makes them feel less frustrated when coding and free to focus on more satisfying work.
92 percent of the Fortune 500 organizations are using Power Apps each month to rapidly adapt, and provide their customers, partners, and employees with streamlined first-class digital experiences on a secure, governable, and scalable platform.
This widespread enterprise adoption creates substantial demand for certified Power Platform professionals, resulting in premium compensation and career advancement opportunities.
With governance in place and some development wins under your belt, think about upskilling your workforce. Offer tailored programs to upskill both developers and non-developers, promoting continuous learning and cross-functional collaboration, such as hosting workshops and interactive training sessions, where your low-code users and developers can work together. The Microsoft Power Platform Adoption website has workbooks, best practices, and training materials to support organizations with this endeavor.
