Power platform is no code/low code platform to build complex business solutions, Visualize/Analyze data, automate business process, and build bot-based solutions with power virtual agents. The components are Power Apps to build custom Apps to solve business solutions, Power BI to visualize/Analyze data, Power Automate to automate workflows to increase productivity and Power Virtual Agents to build chatbots to engage Customers with personalized conversations.
Dataverse is the underlying data platform that provides a unified and simplified data schema so that applications and services can inter-operate.
Dataverse is designed to work with any type of data — relational, non-relational, file, image, search, and data lake.
With a set of visual designers, it is easy to create and edit tables, relationships, calculated fields, business rules, forms, business process flows, and workflows that represent your business.
Dataverse can be configured to integrate with Microsoft’s cloud services such as Azure, Dynamics 365, and Microsoft 365, Power BI Desktop, Power Query, Data Export Service, and SQL Server Management Studio, connectors in Power Automate and Azure Logic Apps, and third-party Apps such as Google Analytics and Twitter. Dataverse can connect to the devices, apps, systems, services, and popular SaaS offerings that contain the data for your business.
Dataverse also supports virtual tables where data is stored in external data source. This enables Dataverse to execute real-time data operations against the external data source.
Power Apps understands the rich metadata included in Dataverse. It is possible to build secure and scalable Apps quickly, and make them available across desktop, web, mobile, and Microsoft Teams.
Bot based Apps either embedded in power Apps or custom code can be built by using power virtual agents which is powered by Dataverse data.
Dataverse has Reporting and Analytics capabilities which provides lightweight charts and paginated reports. With integration with Power BI, interactive reports and dashboards can be built quickly.
Dataverse is highly secure. It uses AAD to authentication, role-based security for authorization, and advanced data encryption.
