Preface

Microsoft Power Platform is a very popular collection of cloud services for building business applications quickly, efficiently, and using the low-code/no-code approach. There are a huge amount of possibilities when using this platform. You can use Power Apps to build business applications for PC or mobile devices. You can build publicly available portals with Power Pages. With Power Automate, you can create cross-application automation and integration solutions. Power BI is a well-established and flexible enterprise analytical and reporting tool. Power Virtual Agents can be used to quickly build and integrate chatbots. And that’s just a brief overview.

In this book, you will learn about the various components of the Power Platform from an architect’s point of view. You will learn how to architect and design complex Power Platform solutions for large and global organizations. You will dive deep into Power Platform security, extensibility, integration, and data migration. This knowledge will cumulate into setting up an enterprise implementation project and successfully implement a Power Platform solution for a large organization.

While reading the book, you will accompany a fictitious global corporation called Contoso Inc. on their journey into the Power Platform cloud. You will see how they adopt the products, prepare the implementation project, learn all the aspects of a complex solution, and take decisions in line with best practices, all while following internal policies and rules.

After reading this book, you should have full clarity about the Power Platform technology and how to use it to deliver a robust, scalable, and user-friendly solution to your clients.
