Extend Copilot for Microsoft 365 with Plugins

This presentation highlights two critical stages in adopting Power Platform, focusing on the decision-making process for its suitability for customers' requirements and best practices for initiating its use. It aims to guide customers and consultants toward making informed choices about adopting Power Platform, considering the potential financial risks of choosing the wrong platform or a flawed implementation strategy. This also includes advising against adopting the Power Platform if it's not a suitable option.

We want to emphasize the importance of evaluating Power Platform's fit based on business processes, industry, regulatory compliance and whether more custom alternatives on Azure might be more appropriate. This first evaluation is crucial to avoid costly mistakes and ensures that if the platform is chosen, it meets the specific needs of a customer right now and in the future.

Having observed many faulty implementations over the years, we want to provide guidance on why “a real-time application with financial information” might not be a good fit for Power Platform. We will highlight how to avoid such scenarios in the first place, before they are sold as a “good solution” to the client and potentially lead to negative outcomes.

The session also offers practical advice on starting with Power Platform, including proper environment setup, subscription management, application lifecycle management, governance, and app development strategies to ensure that every business function has a suitable application. We will discuss when to integrate features into one app versus developing separate applications, aiming for a future-proof setup that is easy to maintain while utilizing the full potential of low-code/no-code SAAS platforms like the Power Platform.

Attendees will gain insights into assessing Power Platform's relevance to their needs and how to start using it effectively, ensuring it is recommended and implemented correctly for those it suits. This session targets customers and client-facing experts/consultants interested in Power Platform.

Business transformation through Power Applications

In this session I will guide you through creating a fully automated Document Approval System using a PowerApp application embeded in a Teams Tab to trigger and check the status of the instances of your Document Approval process. Along with a PowerAutomate flow that will send approval adaptive cards as the Flow Bot to get the validation from the approvers and generate a PDF out of your document and put it in a validated document Team once the document is approved. From the submition to the validation the users will stay in Teams, no need to jump from sharepoint to outlook to teams.
