Microsoft Dataverse for Teams

Microsoft Power Platform is now getting integrated with Microsoft Teams to enable organizations to tailor Microsoft 365 to their needs and empower citizen developers to make greater use of the collaboration capabilities of Teams. Microsoft Dataverse for Teams blends with a set of Power Platform products and features that are integrated into the Microsoft Teams experience and provides data storage with different data types, security, and governance, as well as one-click solution deployments. These solution deployments enable easy portability of custom-built solutions across different teams and environments, or acquired solutions that are built by third-party ISVs and published in Microsoft AppSource.

In the next chapter, we will see how Microsoft Dataverse for Teams enables citizen developers to easily build and deploy apps and intelligent chatbots in Teams with Power Apps, Power Automate Flows, and Power Virtual Agents. Additionally, citizen developers can now easily create custom data tables to store business data that can be used by these apps, chatbots, and flows, besides ensuring robust security and governance features that allow you to control access to these apps, bots, and flows, as well as their underlying data. All of this can be achieved without leaving the Teams application!

Microsoft Dataverse for Teams, along with the Power Platform in Teams, makes app building and the automation of tasks so simple that most of the employees in any organization can pick up the skills required in a matter of hours. This claim will be validated soon, when you get to the next chapter of this book!
