Power Platform

Low-code tools that deliver 
the most with the least.

Power Platform is Microsoft’s low-code development platform. Five products, Power Automate, Power Apps, Power BI, Power Pages and Copilot Studio, work together seamlessly, covering everything from app development to data use and AI. ITSO supports implementation and in-house enablement across the entire Power Platform.

What you can do with Power Platform

  • Power Automate: business automation

    Automate routine work such as approvals, data entry and notifications without code. It supports both cloud flows and desktop RPA, so even legacy systems without APIs can be connected.

  • Power Apps: app building

    Build business apps with low code by drag and drop. Frontline staff can quickly create mobile apps for smartphones and tablets too, without IT.

  • Power BI: data analysis and visualization

    Combine multiple data sources into interactive dashboards that show KPIs in real time and support data-driven decisions.

  • Power Pages: websites

    Create professional external portals without code, including data collection forms and customer portals linked to Dataverse, at low cost.

  • Copilot Studio: AI chatbots

    Build and publish AI chatbots with low code. Embed them in Teams or websites to answer internal FAQs automatically and streamline customer service.

  • AI Builder: AI right away

    Add AI features such as image recognition, text analysis and form processing to flows and apps without programming, speeding up the digitization of unstructured work.

Issues

Short on IT resources and unable to keep up with frontline DX needs?

Data is scattered across departments, so decision-makers can’t get information quickly

Excel and Access files multiply in every department, and compiling company-wide data takes huge effort. Report preparation keeps piling up right before management meetings.

IT is chronically understaffed, and improvement requests keep piling up

Requests to IT for improvement apps wait months, so teams are stuck with inefficient manual work.

Outsourcing is expensive, so small improvements get put off

Outsourced development can run into millions of yen. With the return hard to see, small improvements are left for “someday.”

Power Platform solves all of these at once.

Benefits

From the front line to the whole company, with few resources: an environment for in-house DX.

01

Frontline teams build their own apps

With low-code Power Apps, frontline staff build business apps without IT, cutting outsourcing costs while greatly speeding up improvement.

02

Fully automated approvals and notices

Power Automate automates approval requests, applications and reports. Automatic notices and records in email and Teams end dependence on individuals, missed steps and delays.

03

Data visualized in real time

Power BI combines data from every department into dashboards, keeping management KPIs current, cutting monthly reporting work and speeding up decisions.

04

Put AI to work right away

AI Builder adds form reading, image recognition and text classification to flows without programming, bringing unstructured work into digitization.

05

Deep integration with M365, Azure and Dynamics

Fits seamlessly into your Microsoft environment, with more than 900 connectors, including Teams, SharePoint, Outlook and Salesforce, linking to almost any system.

06

Step-by-step rollout that builds in-house skills

Start with a small improvement in one department and expand company-wide as you see results. ITSO’s training and support build a team that can run on its own.

Flow

Three steps to go-live. We confirm the impact with a PoC (proof of concept) before full rollout.

  1. 1

    Consultation and current-state analysis

    1–2 weeks

    We learn your challenges and improvement needs and define where Power Platform fits, then check your M365 and Azure usage and licenses to draw up the best plan.

  2. 2

    PoC and prototype

    2–4 weeks

    We run a PoC on high-priority work, trying a prototype in real tasks to verify results and issues early, then move to full development with the improvements built in.

  3. 3

    Development, testing and go-live

    3–6 weeks

    Based on the PoC, we develop and test for production, then go live after user acceptance testing (UAT). Weekly reports keep progress and quality transparent.

Scene

The larger and more complex the work, the more it shines.

  • Corporate planning and administration

    A company-wide KPI dashboard in Power BI

    Excel and core system data from every department was combined in Power BI, cutting monthly reporting work by 80% and enabling decisions based on real-time data in management meetings.

  • Sales and field teams

    Deal and inventory apps built in-house with Power Apps

    Sales staff enter and check deal progress and inventory from their smartphones. Built in Power Apps without outsourcing, the app cost 90% less to develop than before.

  • General affairs and back office

    Approvals and invoices automated with Power Automate

    The whole flow from request form to approval notice, record keeping and payment was fully automated with Power Automate, saving 40 hours a month and eliminating processing errors.

FAQ

  • Its biggest strength is integration with Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365 and Azure. Companies already on M365 can use their licenses to keep costs down. And because Power Automate, Power Apps, Power BI and Copilot Studio work together, apps, automation, analytics and AI come as one, something other tools don’t offer.

  • It depends on the features and scale. Microsoft 365 includes the basics of Power Automate and Power Apps, but advanced connectors and premium features need extra licenses. ITSO reviews your current contracts and proposes the best license setup.

  • Yes. Power Platform is designed for no-code and low-code use, so apps and automation can be built with drag and drop and an intuitive flow designer. ITSO also provides training at rollout, aiming for frontline staff who can work on their own.

  • Yes. It is integrated with the Microsoft 365 and Azure Active Directory authentication platform, so it can be run in line with your security policies. Access control per environment and DLP (data loss prevention) policies also prevent data misuse across departments.

  • Yes. We continue to support operation, additional development and troubleshooting after rollout, and through regular usage reviews can suggest new opportunities for automation and apps.
