It is easy to use Power BI as a self-service tool. However, using it in a multi-developer environment comes with challenges. You can easily end up with silos of Power BI solutions, duplicates of Power Query, and DAX codes. 

Come to this session to learn how to avoid duplicate work using the right architecture for developing your Power BI solution.

Session Level: Intermediate

As a low/no code development tool, Power Automate places a lot of power in the hands of users who previously had to rely on a developer.  But as a certain young Spider-Man once taught us, with great power comes great responsibility.  

Instead of muddling your way to learning how to control all that power on your own, let us show you the 5 things you need in your integration to make it kick ass.

Session Level: Basic

Successful enterprise projects use a variety of continuous integration and advanced DevOps tools.  These tools and techniques take significant time and investment as well as ongoing maintenance to ensure the process runs smoothly.  What about the small implementations with a handful of users and potentially only one or two citizen developers building the business application?  This session covers some simple best practices, tools and techniques to ensure the work on small to medium Dynamics 365 and Power Platform business application development is properly archived in source control and updates are rolled out in a simple, but controlled fashion.

The content of this session is geared toward an audience with intermediate-level knowledge of the subject area.

If you are emailing  sales invoices, chances are that you are not doing it in an optimal way. There are many possible improvements of this process and we will describe the most beneficial ones.

Whether you are a power user or a functional consultant, we will teach you which customizations to require from your developers in order to get the most out of your emailing process.
