Are you creating solutions for the business, but still storing your data in SQL Server, SharePoint Online, Excel or even Access? If so, then it may be time to reevaluate and consider Microsoft Dataverse, the native data solution of the Power Platform. For most of your low-code projects and many pro-code initiatives, Dataverse is likely the better data storage offering. Built to be a secure, centralized data solution, Microsoft designed Dataverse to help organizations increase their return on investment (ROI), better scale their in-house applications, standardize their data models, and drive rapid innovation, with Copilot by your side. In this session, let’s dive into Microsoft Dataverse, (I) discover how to jumpstart your flex team's productivity, (II) build some scalable solutions, and (III) tackle your org's project backlog.

Are you getting the most out of your cloud infrastructure? More and more organizations are migrating to Microsoft 365 and they want to embrace their licensed SaaS apps, but they are rarely taking the opportunity to reimagine many of their legacy work processes. Power Automate, the workflow automation arm of the Power Platform, empowers businesses to modernize their older on-prem business processes and redesign them for the cloud. In this session, we will (I) introduce some automation fundamentals, (II) explore several cloud flow better practices, and (III) outline many of the opportunities for business efficiency, saving work hours and avoiding unnecessary costs.

No organization wants to have incomplete, redundant, or needlessly siloed data. Unfortunately, without proper data governance, it just happens, and poor data hygiene only worsens the problem. Poorly governed data leads to gaps in availability, questionable integrity, lax security, and ever-increasing storage costs. Ultimately, everyone from the knowledge workers to the C-suite, and even the external vendors, could be negatively impacted and suffer as a result. In this session, we’ll explore ways to correct broken data, reduce your content sprawl, and unify your datasets.

Low-code is holding its own against, if not edging out pro-code and no-code development for today's modern, scalable, enterprise solutions. Power Apps, Microsoft's SaaS offering to design and build highly custom business apps, is a suite of services and connectors promoting rapid, feature-rich app development. In this session, we’ll explore how Power Apps (I) empowers non-devs, (II) welcomes pro-devs, (III) reduces infrastructure costs, (IV) tackles IT's project backlog, (V) drives process innovation, and (VI) democratizes business solution development.
