You can build apps or flows that enforce data access rules, log actions, rquire approvals, and build reports/audits from data stored centrally, helping you meet regulatory obligations.
Low-code tools that put innovation back in your hands. Microsoft’s Power Platform, delivered by FormusPro, gives you direct access to your business data and automation… with little to no coding required.
The Power Platform is Microsoft’s answer to building end-to-end business solutions, with tools that enable everyone to be a part of the process, allowing your business to react quickly to new challenges.
The Power Platform spans a collection of tools that serve the software needs at every level of the business. Whilst it is capable individually, used together it is more than the sum of its parts. It all exists as part of a tightly integrated ecosystem that provides even more productivity and functionality when used together.
At its core, the Power Platform exists to enable the entirety of the business to be part of developing solutions, with a focus on needing little to no prerequisite knowledge, and instead providing accessible and powerful tools to empower everyone.
In every business there are multiple data points, from your marketing departments, through to your existing accounts and everything in between. Each department will have multiple data sources and information can be difficult to get hold of.
But with the Power Platform, you can enhance your organisations data, to allow you to make data driven business decisions and ensure you have access to the data you may have had hidden away somewhere and forgotten about.
From internal use applications through to data dashboards, The Power Platform has it all.
When integrating a new data system, the assumtion is always that there is a heavy worklaod on the coding in the back-end. However The Power Platform removes this necessity and gives you the power to develop these applications and dashboard internally.
With easy to navigate, user friendly interfaces building your own applications couldn’t be easier.
Harmonising your internal data and statistics for your board meetings, use to be painful, but with the Power Platform, a custom dashboard for your board meetings could be designed, allowing you access to the data with in a few clicks, reducing time spent finding your information and a drastic increase in efficiency.
Each of these solutions can be used as a stand-alone application. But when used together, can begin to truly transform your business.
Power BI is a business analytics service that delivers insights to enable fast, informed decisions.
Loaded with slick, easy to use tools for analysing data and sharing insights, Power BI takes visual reporting to the next level.
It can be great to allow your customers to directly interact with your company via a website. Such as managing their membership or services that they receive from you. By giving customers direct access to a portal you can reduce your staffing costs, as well as hurdles and frustrations for your customer.
Power Automate enables all users boost their productivity by creating automations with simple workflows – no code required.
Users can be creating integrations, automations, and interactions within minutes, saving hours of otherwise wasted time.
Power Apps “democratise development” by giving employees the ability to create advanced applications that can run on any platform and integrate with your existing software ecosystem, whilst being no more complex to develop than writing formulas for Excel.
How can the Power Platform help with regulatory compliance and audit readiness?
You can build apps or flows that enforce data access rules, log actions, rquire approvals, and build reports/audits from data stored centrally, helping you meet regulatory obligations.
Can the Power Platform help non-tech teams build their own tools?
Absolutely. Teams in operations, HR, membership, fundraising etc. can create apps or automations that match their workflows without waiting for IT.
How does adoption work for the Power Platform internally?
Adoption involves training, change management, champions within teams, good documentation and starting with small wins. Once people see how useful the tools are, uptake grows.
How does the Power Platform help with data visualisation and reporting?
Using Power BI, you can create interactive dashboards, embed visuals in other apps or portals, share insights across teams and monitor metrics in real time, reducing manual report generation.
What AI features are included in the Power Platform?
AI features include things like sentiment analysis, predictive insights, Copilot support for generating formulas or logic, and suggestions for automation. For example you can get alerts when data anomalies appear.
Can the Power Platform integrate with our existing systems?
Yes. It supports connections to many data sources: databases, existing Microsoft systems, third-party APIs, and even legacy systems. You can pull in and send out data so you don’t lose what you already have.
How quickly can you build something using the Power Platform?
Depending on complexity: a simple app or dashboard might be up in a few days; automations or more integrated solutions take longer. The design, data sources and dependencies affect speed.
What does “low-code / no-code” mean in The Power Platform?
It means you don’t need to be a professional coder to build dashboards, forms or basic apps. Many tools use drag-and-drop interfaces, familiar formula-like logic and pre-built templates.
How does using multiple Power Platform tools together amplify value?
When you combine tools (for example Power BI visualisations, Power Apps input forms, and Power Automate flows), the result is more than the sum of parts: automation kicks in, data becomes accessible, and you reduce delays and manual handoffs.
Why use the Power Platform across the business?
Because many departments have data in silos, repetitive tasks, or reporting that’s slow or manual. The Power Platform helps you bring data together, automate workflows and visualise insights to make decisions faster.
What do we mean when we say The Power Platform?
The Power Platform is Microsoft’s suite of tools (Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages) that let organisations build solutions, dashboards and automations with little to no coding knowledge. It lets every department get more out of their data and drive efficiency.
We first embarked on a digital transformation journey with Anthony Nolan back in 2012. With a range of implementations and solutions over the years, this transformation is constantly evolving.
Anthony Nolan wanted to move their Dynamics 2016 On-Premise solution into Dynamics 365 Online. This would mean less reliance on internal servers to maintain and run the platform. They would also benefit from the Microsoft Update process, continuously making new features available.
