Integration with other Microsoft services and apps

The Power Platform integrates seamlessly with other Microsoft services such as Office 365, Dynamics 365 and Azure, as well as hundreds of other applications and data services. This integration provides a unified and efficient experience, where data and processes can be linked effortlessly. This means that organizations not only benefit from Power Platform functionality, but also synergy with their existing Microsoft ecosystem, enabling them to get more value from their IT investments.

Integration with other resources with more than 1,000 Power Platform connectors

The Microsoft Power Platform provides powerful capabilities to connect various data sources and services through a comprehensive set of connectors. These connectors act as bridges that link the platform to hundreds of external systems, both inside and outside the Microsoft ecosystem. Whether it's databases like SQL Server and Oracle, cloud services like Salesforce and Google Drive, or social media platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn, the connectors make it easy to load, transform and use data in Power Platform solutions.

With Power Automate, for example, users can create automated workflows that retrieve data from different sources, such as an Excel file in OneDrive or a table in Dynamics 365, and process and store that information in another destination, such as SharePoint or an email. This ensures seamless data exchange between systems, which is essential for streamlining business processes and increasing operational efficiency.

The ability to easily connect to both standard and custom data sources gives organizations the flexibility to fully integrate the Power Platform into their existing IT infrastructure. This opens the door to a wide range of applications, such as centralizing customer data for a 360-degree customer view, automating data updates and providing real-time analytics through Power BI.

Security and compliance

Microsoft Power Platform provides robust security and compliance features to ensure that data is kept safe and confidential. With built-in encryption, data is protected both at rest and in transit, preventing unauthorized access. The platform also supports advanced access management options such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) and role-based access, allowing only authorized users to access sensitive information.

In addition, the Power Platform complies with various international and industry standards for data protection and privacy, including GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001, and HIPAA. Microsoft provides regular audits and certifications, so businesses can be confident that their data is securely managed in accordance with applicable regulations. This strong focus on security and compliance makes the Power Platform a reliable choice for organizations looking to accelerate their digital transformation without compromising on data security and privacy. Valid helps companies implement the right security and compliance features so they can confidently leverage the powerful capabilities of the platform.

Accessibility and simplicity

One of the biggest advantages of the Microsoft Power Platform is its accessibility and simplicity, allowing a wide range of users within an organization, from business professionals to IT specialists, to contribute to digital transformation. In addition, security and compliance are well managed within the platform, meaning businesses can manage and share data with confidence. At Valid, we support customers at every stage of their Power Platform implementation, from strategic design to training and support, so they can take full advantage of the capabilities of these powerful tools.
