Dive into PowerApps, building apps that mean business without writing code

Building business applications is never easy. There are always conflicting priorities between IT and business and most apps don’t merit the time and cost of traditional software development. PowerApps is an enterprise application platform for delivering line-of-business apps without writing code. It fundamentally transforms and accelerates how organizations provide employees seamless access to business apps and information. PowerApps now features built-in support for the common data model, enhanced connectivity, support for more devices and integrations with other Microsoft business offerings.

Dive into Microsoft Flow, create automated workflows between your favorite apps and services

Today’s employees spend countless hours simply transferring information from one place to another or sifting through data to find a needed detail. Microsoft Flow is a service for business users to work smarter by automating workflow across the apps and SaaS services that are used every day. Hear how you can use Microsoft Flow to accelerate and automate your business so employees spend less time on mundane, repetitive tasks, and more time on the most important work at hand.

Dive into the Microsoft Common Data Model

The Microsoft Common Data model (CDM) is the Azure-based storage mechanism for the Microsoft business application platform. The most intuitive use case for the CDM is to provide an easy to use relational database for PowerApps. App Creators can use the CDM to model their data and easily share apps created on that data. CDM aims to provide much more than storage, it also provides definitions for common business entities as well as integration capabilities for importing data from multiple sources. With data sourced across the enterprise, businesses can drive insights and actions using PowerApps.

Build business applications with Power Apps, Microsoft Flow, and Office 365

PowerApps and Flow are services for building and using custom business apps that connect to your data and work across the web and mobile - without the time and expense of custom software development. This session demonstrates how to build custom business applications, describes the vision behind PowerApps and Flow, and features key scenarios.
