What is Power Platform?
Power Platform is a suite of tools developed by Microsoft that enables you to build applications, analyze data, automate business processes, and create advanced conversational agents. It consists of four main modules: Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power Virtual Agents. These tools are integrated with Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Azure, and hundreds of other applications, making them extremely versatile and powerful.
Core Modules of Power Platform
The individual tools within the Power Platform suite enable efficient data visualization, enhance your productivity, and effectively support you in making accurate decisions.
