Five Strategies for Integrating Power Platform with your Organization’s Data

Presented by:

• Andrew Welch, CTO + Founder @ Cloud Lighthouse

• Ana Welch, Sr. Solutions Director @ Kerv Digital

Power Platform solutions are increasingly integrating with an organization’s existing data, not just operating on their own. This session will cover five key ways to connect Power Platform to other services. This is especially useful for architects, developers, and IT decision-makers to understand which method to use and how to combine them effectively. These methods are:

• Point-to-Point: Direct connections between services;

• Data Consolidation: Bringing data together in one place;

• Master Data Node: Using a central source for all data;

• Data Landing Zone: A staging area for data before use;

• Data Distribution: Spreading data out to where it’s needed.

We’ll discuss each method’s advantages, disadvantages, and typical technologies used, focusing on Dataverse and Microsoft’s data integration tools. This knowledge will you help scale Power Platform solutions and leverage Power Platform data for enhancing AI capabilities within organizations.

10 Key Things to do to get Your Organisation Ready for Power Platform Adoption

Presented by Chris Huntingford, Director of Digital Innovation @ ANS Group

Do you think you have rock-solid governance in your org? Maybe you have a few data policies in place! GREAT, but let’s lift the lid on this and get a bit deeper into some of the top 10 things you, as a power platform admin or power user, can do to create a much safer space for makers to create useful things.

In this session, we will break some of the perspectives you may have and shatter some ideals. Not every solution needs ALM! WHY turn off the ability to create trials? WHY stop makers from using developing in their own developer environments?

We are in the Era of Enablement and people will find a way, so why not enable, but provide the necessary guidance as well.

There will be live demonstrations of (And potentially more):

1. AI-driven solution builds;

2. Connector audit;

3. Live, interactive data breach and how to mitigate this.
