Pragmatic Works Aug 23, 2019

By now, most people have heard of PowerApps, the incredible tool that’s part of the Microsoft Power Platform. PowerApps lets you quickly build internal business applications with little or no code. You can build highly customized canvas apps with data from multiple sources, as well as model-driven apps from your data model and business processes. All these can be shared across the web, mobile devices or tablets.

But many have asked, what about sharing apps with people outside my organization? Well, now you can with the recently introduced PowerApps Portals. In a recent webinar, Brian Knight, will teach you all you need to know about this new product that gives you the ability to build low-code, responsive websites which allow external users to interact with the data stored in the Common Data Service.

Brian discusses all the amazing capabilities of PowerApps Portals:

Engage with your customers and partners
Build websites easily with a new, dedicated portal designer
Integrate with Microsoft services such as Power BI Embedded, Microsoft Flow, Microsoft SharePoint, Azure Blob Storage to enrich content
Model complex business process using pro dev extensibility

The webinar will also cover Azure Common Data Service for apps, as well the benefits of unifying to one high-productivity application platform. PowerApps Portals licensing costs will be discussed and the coming release of PowerApps for Guests which will allow external users to access apps (estimated to come out in October of this year).
