The slide deck for the Power Platform Presentation in SQL Saturday Redmond 2019. We have reviewed the power Platform Components, why is it better together and how to make it happen. During the demo all the options of implementation between the Power Apps and PowerBI were demonstrated. Including the data visualization changes with new data feed. Use some of the following ideas in your organization and POC's for more complex implementations.

6. What Is Power Platform?

7. What is PowerPlatform?
Power Platform combines the robust power of PowerApps, PowerBI,
and Microsoft Flow into one powerful business application platform
providing quick and easy app building and data insights.

8. What are we using PowerBI for?
Connect to
Data sources
Create
Reports/
dashboards/
Applications
Collaborate
and Share
Access Data
Insights

9. What is currently part of PowerBI
Power BI desktop
Power BI Desktop is the report authoring tool - https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/desktop
Access data from various data sources and transform them for your reporting needs
Power BI Service – Pro/ Premium (Capacity, Licensing and Monitoring)
Browser based portal - https://app.powerbi.com
Share and collaborate with your collogues and wider audience
PowerBI Report Server
On premise solution for organizational reporting
PowerBI Mobile
Mobile Application, can be connected to your PowerBI on pemise or the cloud
PowerBI Data Gateway
Install in your organization, to enablesecure data connection (same as for PowerApps)
Embeded Analytics
PowerBI in Azure, set powerBI when needed, in the Azure portal
Use PowerBI REST API & JS to embed in your applications

10. Microsoft Flow
Power to the Users!
Drag and Drop with minimum code to
create a workflow or a synchronization
process

11. PowerApps
Power to the Users!
• Enabling business users to build Mobile
applications without requiring that they have
code expertise*
• The Application is built on a canvas with
components
• Many Business ready made templates can be
used to start

12. So…I have heard of Logic Apps is this the same?
Maybe…
• Less “Power to the User” more Power to the developer, dev ops
and Azure Admins
• A cloud service that helps you automate and orchestrate tasks,
business processes, and workflows when you need to integrate
apps, data, systems, and services across enterprises or
organizations.

13. What is behind the scene?
Common Data Model
set of a standardized, extensible data schemas
published by Microsoft and it’s partners
Azure SasS
Allows users to connect to cloud based
applications

14. The Data Pipeline

15. What is Data Pipeline?
Creating an automated process for the entire data lifecycle management.
Example: from sensor to report to enable data driven decision support
Data
Entry
Storage Processing Manipulating Visualizing Insights
New
Data
Entry

16. Better Together -
Data Pipeline using PowerApps & PowerBI

17. Technical Options for Better together
Add PowerApp
Tile in PowerBI
Add PowerBI
Report in a Power
App
Trigger action/
Alert from
PowerBI via Flow
Use flow to
synchronize data
between different
sources
Add from custom
visuals store, Add
existing
application, build
in the window
Add a report using
embedded as a
component
Activate flow from
a Dashboard visual,
available when
trigger can be
defined
Create flow to
move data when
new data is created
using a trigger
Sensitivity of data
while setting new
targets
Review
performance as
part of the
application
When a target is
reached, user
automatically
notified
No need to access
multiple sources &
create report
warehouse

18. Our Business Case

19. Introducing the Business Case
Before we build anything…let’s ask ourselves:
1. why are we building it? – the business problem
2. Who is going to use it? – the audience
3. How are they going to use it?
4. How can we help….?

20. Hotel Room Cleaning
Before we build anything…let’s ask ourselves:
1. why are we building it? – To capture the current state of the room
and all rooms in the hotel. Support hotel managers decision getting
the information online from the staff.
2. Who is going to use it? – the audience
The Cleaning staff, the Hotel management, in the future – guests to
see how long till the room is ready
3. How are they going to use it?
Mobile phone to fill details, analytics both on mobile and desktop
4. How can we help….?

21. Getting the Data
The Data source
can be anything!

22. Data Entry and Creating the application
Using PowerApss Template and a data repository

23. Connecting to the Data
On premise data source:
Data Gateway install on premise manage online
Same Gateway for all Power Platform
Synchronization schedule for PowerBI
Refresh for PowerApps via Flow
Cloud Data source:
Data Connector
Direct connection to the data source
Synchronization schedule for PowerBI
Refresh for PowerApps via Flow

24. Power Platform Admin Center
Managing Gateways and Data connections
Managing global definitions for Power Platform

25. Data Manipulations
In PowerBI, editing the data summarizing and
aggregating, while it is synchronized from the
PowerApp to the data repository

26. Data Visualization
PowerBI
Data changes with each synchronization
Create a report
Add visualizaitons

27. Data Entry in PowerBI
The new data entry is added form the application in
PowerBI, affecting the reports results when
synchronized with the data source
