The Microsoft Power Platform is often the ideal solution for a company’s digital transition. With solutions already effective in isolation, it comes into its own when combined, offering many tools to cover all an organization’s needs. So, while Microsoft’s platform can cover many aspects of a business, it is also impressive when it comes to improving the operational efficiency of the internal structure. And we will prove it to you through five specific advantages of the Power Platform.
1. Task automation
When it comes to automating tasks and business processes, it’s hard not to mention the tool developed by Microsoft specifically for this purpose: Power Automate. Designed to automate business processes, Power Automate is the ideal tool for optimizing tasks by automating them, thus saving precious time. Power Automate is designed as an intelligent workflow tool that can connect isolated applications and files to communicate, simplifying repetitive tasks.
With Microsoft’s low‑code mentality, it’s as simple as dragging and dropping pre‑established action blocks to create flows from scratch, intuitively and visually. This solution saves you programming time without detracting from its formidable effectiveness in optimizing processes.
With over 1,000 integrated connectors, whether with the Microsoft ecosystem, for integration into a Dynamics 365 CRM, or with other external tools, Power Automate’s integration capability makes it essential for improving operational efficiency.
2. Cost reduction
When developing tailor‑made solutions, development costs are the crux of the matter. Low‑code requires less development and support time and greatly reduces costs. By promoting highly visual, standardized solutions, far removed from the usual lines of code and highly intuitive drag‑and‑drop, this approach cuts costs, time and offers the ability to react quickly by adapting to constant business change and innovation. With low‑code, the “citizen developer” is becoming a reality. According to a 2021 study by Microsoft, this reduction can be as much as 24%. For 87% of IT managers, low‑code has been the key to reducing costs.
3. Improved visibility
When working with different tools and on several projects simultaneously, having visibility of all your operations can sometimes be perilous. However, this visibility can be optimized with Power Platform, providing users and managers with an overview of the different projects underway within the Microsoft platform at all times. Thanks to centralized data and precise role management, getting a global view and managing access to all strategies, resources, analysis reports, and more is easy.
4. Increased collaboration between teams
Team members can operate Power Platform applications in synergy with all possible connections and integrations enabled by the Microsoft ecosystem. Whether directly via application integrations in Teams or by centralizing all data in Microsoft cloud solutions such as OneDrive or SharePoint, they can access their files securely anytime and collaborate on the same project.
5. Flexibility to adapt operational processes
Companies that choose Microsoft's Power Platform can count on its flexibility to adapt their operational processes. While it is possible to start from scratch when developing a solution that meets their needs, Power Platform projects can also be adapted and developed in parallel with existing tools, thus limiting the risk of breakage. Thanks to the standardization of the Power Platform solutions, it’s also easier to update your working environment over the years, and avoiding technological stagnation.
