Do you want to better automate and streamline your business processes? Have you worked with PowerApps, Microsoft Flow, or Power BI, but you're not sure how to use them? You've come to the right place!
In this session we will explore how to build out a basic canvas app based on SharePoint lists and three key technologies that integrate with SharePoint Online: PowerApps, Microsoft Flow, and Power BI. These technologies work together, making it easy to measure your business, act on the results, and automate your workflows.

In this 1 hour presentation/demo attendees will see how Azure's Cognitive Services and/or Machine Learning Services can be used together with PowerApps and SharePoint and Flow to quickly create an innovative AI-powered PowerApps which could be used by Field Engineers to quickly inspect and assess (and REPORT) the condition of various telephone and power distribution poles in a region suffering from (say) a severe weather phenomenon such a tornado or hurricane.

Attendees would also see how PowerApps can tap directly into the camera features of common mobile "smart" phones to capture images, pass them up into a SharePoint Picture library, then see how Flow can be used to pass those images (in REAL-TIME) into Azure Cognitive Services (or a custom Machine Learning Predictive Model) and have human-readable assessments describing that pole's condition as "Green" (ok), "Yellow" (watch closely) , "Orange" (needs attention ASAP) and "Red" (need attention IMMEDIATELY), so that field engineers can work quickly, and their central command can ALSO work quickly to accurately assess and triage a region impacted by a severe event.

Again, this presentation will also demonstrate how SharePoint, PowerApps and Flow can empower PowerUsers in an organization to quickly create enterprise-class solutions with MVC patterns at their foundation.

Format:
- Questions
- Go through ways you can connect a data source and Power BI
- Create a simple Power BI reports for users to go through and clean up data exceptions
- Create flows that send out weekly reports as reminders for exceptions reports
- Create a simple sales goal tracker and how to use them to let the company you did well for the day, week, month, etc.
- Step up Power BI alerts for when you hit your goal
- Use Flow to send an email or post messages to slack and/or teams.”

Create and share applications with Power Apps, in a few clicks, without a single line of code.

Join us in this session to learn how to create and share applications with PowerApps. We will perform a step-by-step demo showing how to connect to a data source, build a the New, Edit and View forms, customize the layouts and share it to the organization. In this session, we will work with a simple use case, based on real business requirements that all attendee can relate to.

It's time that we create some best practices for developing on the Power Platform! This session overviews some of the current favorites picked up from colleagues and experts around the world. When should we create new model-driven apps to serve different business functions? How should old time Dynamics lovers think about solutions when working in PowerApps? What's the best way to bring order to Flow in an enterprise environment? We'll explore questions like this, and learn from one another.

Do you need to make reports—based on user submitted data—available within your Office 365 environment? In this session, I will lead you on the journey from data entry to processing to reporting. We will take full advantage of the Power Platform (PowerApps, Microsoft Flow, and Power BI) and bring those together to deliver a complete solution that can reside in SharePoint or Microsoft Teams.
