Overview of this book

For forward-looking architects and decision makers who want to craft complex solutions to serve growing business needs, Microsoft Power Platform Enterprise Architecture offers an array of architectural best practices and techniques. With this book, you’ll learn how to design robust software using the tools available in the Power Platform suite and be able to integrate them seamlessly with various Microsoft 365 and Azure components.

You’ll develop the skills you need to architect, design, and manage a complex solution as you follow the journey of a fictitious enterprise customer as they enter the world of Power Platform. Throughout the book, you’ll discover how to combine the functionality of Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, and Power Virtual Agents with various methodologies to effectively address application lifecycle management, security, and extensibility. Finally, you'll learn how to overcome common challenges in migrating data to and from Microsoft Power Platform using proven techniques.

Contoso Inc. preparing the implementation project

Contoso Inc. has so far analyzed the three Microsoft cloud offerings and decided to leverage the full potential of all of them to build a Power Platform business solution for the whole global organization. They have learned about the Power Platform architecture and the toolset necessary for building a solution, as well as the principles of application lifecycle management in the Power Platform domain. As a next step, Contoso Inc. wants to learn about how to prepare and set up a Power Platform implementation project, what internal roles would need to be assigned, and what the expected project duration and phases are. While they already have a lot of experience of running internal IT projects, with Power Platform, this is a new experience, and they would like to prepare everything for a successful implementation project.
