What is the Power Platform?
The Power Platform is a set of services created by Microsoft designed to make better use of an organisation’s data so that it can be used to gain fresh insights and make intelligent, fact-based decisions quickly. Below are the four main components of the Power Platform:
Power business intelligence
Understanding the business data you hold is now more critical than ever. Ensure the success of your organisation and gain competitive advantage with our suite of business analytics tools. Power BI is a multi–platform data service combining software, services and apps to help your business understand and use data in the ways that are most beneficial to you, in an easy-to-access way – via a desktop app, an online service or on mobile.
Power apps
Power Apps are applications which can be accessed or embedded in a variety of locations and provide a user-friendly interface, helping employees easily access your business data, complete forms, raise requests and much more. With best-in-class security and easy integration across different platforms and technologies, Espria can help turn your ideas into reality with cost-effective business solutions.
Power virtual agents
Power Virtual Agents can answer general questions or advise on support issues before passing queries over to your (human) in-house support teams for a more personalised customer experience. By providing an immediate response, Virtual Agents can increase customer satisfaction and reduce wait times while giving back valuable time for employees to focus on high-priority issues.
Power automate
Power Automate creates automated workflows between services to provide updates, synchronise documents and collect vital data. For example, Power Automate could be used to generate financial reports on a weekly or monthly basis, backup documents on shared drives or send alerts if thresholds are exceeded.
