Unleash the power of Your Dynamics 365 Ecosystem

Posted June 27, 2023

Whether you are running Business Central or GP, your business has tremendous ability to leverage capabilities for a more powerful Dynamics 365 Ecosystem.

Microsoft’s Power Platform will help you get the most out of your Dynamics investment. Power Platform is a suite of low-code tools that allows you to build cost-effective solutions tailored to the needs of your business.

Power Platform includes:

• Power Apps: quick and easy building of custom applications that are specific to your business, with no coding required.
• Power BI: enables better decision making with analytics and reporting relevant to your organization, giving you the ability to visualize data and share insights.
• Power Automate: automate your processes with synchronized workflows between apps and services.

Your organization may already own some of these features as a part of your Office365 subscription. Power Platform is all cloud-based, enabling anytime, anywhere access, including from mobile devices.

It is also built for interoperability, meaning your different systems, devices and applications can connect and communicate in a coordinated way with minimal effort by your team. For example, you can embed Power BI in Power Apps, call up Power Automate from Power BI, and more. Power Platform can be embedded into Teams, Outlook, your CRM and Business Central.

If your business is running on-premise GP, the Power Platform is also available to you. GP can interact with Power Platform through a secure connection and can share data just as you can in Business Central. It will give you the power to interact with your GP data, including updates back to your ERP system, with proper controls and security in place.

You can also enable your on-premise servers to share data with cloud-based applications. For example, with Power Automate, your GP system can interact with more than 100 cloud-based business applications. This capability allows you to take advantage of the growing number of cloud-based solutions while still having time to plan and prepare for an eventual move to a cloud-based ERP.

For many organizations, the licensing is already in place so you can use Power Platform. Joesoftware can help you leverage your tools to deliver a more robust ecosystem designed specifically to your business needs while maximizing your technology investment.
