Why Power Platform is essential to your modern data platform

“Building Modern Data Architectures: Integrating Power Platform and Azure Data Services” on the Ecosystems Show

We have been blown away by the interest in this topic that Ana and Andrew presented to a room of 300 people at the European Power Platform Conference (EPPC) in Brussels last month.

It’s very difficult to build a data platform today that reaches its full potential without also building Power Platform into that data platform. Power Platform’s greatest value lies not in the app, but in the data the app collects or serves back to its users. Power Platform isn’t an app phenomenon. It’s a data phenomenon. Apps are only so useful if you’re not able to use them with your organization’s data. Andrew’s new Microsoft white paper articulates so clearly—from simple to advanced—the five patterns of data integration between Power Platform and a modern data platform backed by Azure data services and Microsoft Fabric.

This conversation with Andrew, Ana, and Mark digs into the new white paper on Power Platform in a Modern Data Platform Architecture, the flexibility of integrating Power Platform into different data architectures, and principles of data integration between Power Platform and Azure data services. We also hit various topics including the functionality of the Riverside platform and the importance of communication and commitment in team collaborations. The main themes include point-to-point, data consolidation, master data node, data landing zone, and data distribution patterns with attention to the role of Microsoft partners in implementing these concepts. The conversation emphasizes the importance of starting with Dataverse and gradually scaling up the data integration techniques. The response to the white paper on this topic has been overwhelmingly positive, with many organizations and individuals expressing interest in implementing these patterns.

What You Will Learn:

  • The Riverside platform records high-quality audio and video locally, ensuring a clear and crisp recording for editing and post-production;

  • Effective communication and commitment are essential for successful team collaborations;
