Scale Innovation with the Microsoft Power Platform

Humans excel at creative and strategic thinking, but we spend much of our time performing repetitive and manual tasks.

The Microsoft Power Platform empowers small- and medium-sized businesses as well as enterprises to create bottom-up innovation and achieve system integration that is scalable with a low-code solution, because after all:

Our potential is limitless. Our time is not.

Unlock Human Potential Through Automation

In today’s business climate, companies face seemingly impossible challenges: the ever-increasing speed of business, soaring customer expectations, and greater competition for resources.

As companies across industries navigate this uncertainty, investments in people and the right technology have become paramount. Strategies for IT and application spending look very different than they did just a few years ago due to growing demands for digital fluidity from consumers, employees, and stakeholders.

On the surface, automation is a method to streamline processes, serve customers more efficiently, and grow profit margins. It can help organizations overcome skills gaps and shortage of workers in key positions while retaining existing employees.

But automation is much more than that—it can unlock the next level of human performance and achievement.

When organizations embrace automation as a critical component of every business function, it creates opportunities for people to rise above the grind of repetitive taskwork and unlock their full potential. Automation allows employees to engage in more creative, exciting, rewarding endeavors that lead to elevated career and personal satisfaction resulting in greater business performance.

How Can Automation Make a Difference for Your Business?

Business process automation is all about having IT systems manage repetitive tasks.

With an automation tool like Power Automate (part of the Power Platform), you can turn outdated into automated with a full spectrum of integrated capabilities to streamline how you work while reducing the risks of human errors.

Here are some common business scenarios and capabilities of Power Automate:

    • Automate repetitive tasks, like moving data from one system to another.
    • Guide a user through a process so they can complete the different stages.
    • Connect to external data sources via one of the hundreds of connectors or directly via an API.
    • Automate desktop-based and website processes with Robotic Process Automation (RPA) capabilities.
    • Orchestrate processes end-to-end and trigger microservices.
    • Send automatic reminders for past-due tasks.
    • Move business data between systems on a schedule.
