Although we live in a data driven world,
your business can find it difficult to take advantage of the data
it has access to. Sales, customer, employee data should
drive our business decisions, but where do we even start. Microsoft Power Platform can add value to
any business, by helping you to analyze, act and automate, act by providing
custom apps and power apps. Automate processes based on the data
you collect and power automate, and analyze the data you have collected in
Power BI I consider a business that has IT equipment for general use, currently equipment checkout is
conducted by visiting the IT office. Checking if the product is available,
then writing your name and the equipment name in the notebook. Employees may have to visit IT several
times, before equipment becomes available. In this scenario IT person almost dropped
their task to check on the equipment status, or go to collect the item for
the employee. Another scenario that happens
often is that some employees hold onto the equipment
longer than they intend. And then one of the IT personnel spends
time tracking it down, in addition important equipment information such
as serial number, warranty details. And instructions for
use are kept somewhere in the IT office, how can Microsoft Power Platform
improve this process. Power apps allow you to build an app that
has all equipment listed, the status of that equipment, and even important
details such as use instructions. This way employees can check
out available equipment, walk to IT at a specified pickup time
where the equipment will be ready. And even access the user instructions,
or flag and equipment malfunction from their phone or
tablet. Power Automate can read when
equipment needs to be returned and send out reminder emails. Or even a warning that the equipment
is late being returned, you can see when equipment
is booked through the app. And request check out for
a future date at which time, Power Automate can send a reminder
to pick up the equipment. Power BII can take all the data
generated from the app and analyze it to help you understand
what equipment is used most often. And by whom this way you can decide
if you need other equipment, if some users or
departments need dedicated equipment. And when your equipment has
reached the end of its usefulness, this is only one common scenario in which
Microsoft Power Platform can transform. The way businesses work,
consider your own business and what processes take up valuable time, and
our burden to customers or employees. How can you leverage
Microsoft Power Platform to improve them.
