with solutions designed around this modern workplace.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft Teams is one such solution, and is used by over 75 million people across the world to stay connected to their colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>Many organisations only use a fraction of Microsoft Teams\u2019 full functionality, however, meaning they are missing out on great ways to empower their remote workforce.<\/p>\n<p>A great example of this functionality is the Microsoft Power Platform, which is a low-code suite that makes it easy to build apps and automate your processes and workflows.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/powerplatform.microsoft.com\/en-za\/?utm_source=BusinessTech&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_campaign=November2021\" target=\"_blank\"

detailed below.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Power Apps<\/h3>\n<p>Power Apps is a low-code application development platform that makes it easy to build web and mobile apps without having coding experience.<\/p>\n<p>This reduces the time it takes to generate important applications, and makes it accessible to more of your workforce.<\/p>\n<p>You can connect the apps you make to other Microsoft 365 applications, and you can also create and use them in Teams.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Power Automate<\/h3>\n<p>Power Automate makes it easy to automate your routine processes and tasks.<\/p>\n<p>The tool is integrated with Microsoft 365 to allow for easy automation of Office 365 applications and uses the Power Apps platform for simple development.<\/p>\n<p>You can build automated flows directly from Teams, and can even opt for actions to take place directly from chats to make the process even smoother.<\/p>\n<p>Automation can be integrated into existing apps, created in new apps, and even implemented between different apps, too.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Power BI<\/h3>\n<p>Power BI is a data visualisation tool that enhances Power Apps and Power Automate by supplying insights from the data these tools generate.<\/p>\n<p>The integration between Power BI and Power Apps makes it easy to place important insights into the hands of everyone who needs then \u2013 from your front-line workers to your C-suite executives.<\/p>\n<p>You can even use a simple \u201cShare to Teams\u201d feature that lets you choose which teams and channels receive these insights.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Microsoft Teams<\/h3>\n<p>All of these Power Platform features are available through Microsoft Teams.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft Teams is the ultimate collaboration hub for your business, and includes everything from chat and video calling to the Power Platform features.<\/p>\n<p><a
