The Microsoft Power Platform is a suite of low code development tools that includes Power BI, Power Apps, and Power Automate (formerly known as Microsoft Flow). We feel that integrating Power Platform with Teams really enhances both Teams and the Power Platform tools – they make Teams more powerful, no pun intended, and Teams allows you to put all these tools into one place, and really take advantage of the conversational nature of Teams.

able to make better choices for them. Putting (Power Apps & Power BI)
in Teams made it easy for non-technical teachers to find and use those
solutions. Even better, these tools help our educators to get creative,
think outside the box and provide solutions for others—it‘s re-
energizing!”

Sometimes, it would take us up to a few weeks to get someone through
the systems. We needed a better way… We invested in Teams and the
Power Platform, and today we now centralize onboarding—so it begins
and ends in Teams—and we have reduced the time from weeks to just
40 minutes.”
