PowerApps, which includes Microsoft Flow, is a high-productivity application development platform from Microsoft. The platform is used by Microsoft to build their own 1st party applications Dynamics 365 for Sales, Service, Field Service, Marketing and Talent. This means these applications are built natively on the platform. Enterprise customers can also build their own custom line of business applications using the same technology. Individual users and teams within your organization can also build personal or team productivity applications with no-code or low-code.<\/p>\n

Today the PowerApps team has released a whitepaper to provide guidance to those administrators responsible for planning, securing, deploying, and supporting applications built on the PowerApps platform.\u00a0In this whitepaper, we will cover key concepts, platform architecture, and decisions that will be necessary. Where possible we will help you develop best practices for your organization to ensure successful deployments and high productivity for users using the platform.\u00a0 In the end, this paper will help give you a better\u00a0understanding of what currently is in your environment, how to proactively plan for applications being developed and deployed and finally how to handle day to day administrative tasks to manage deployments.<\/p>\n

You can download and review the whitepaper today:<\/p>\n
