Frequently Asked Questions

What is Microsoft Power Platform and how does it help both IT and business teams?

What business value and ROI can we expect from Power Platform?

How does Power Platform address common IT and operations challenges?

Organizations in the Forrester study reported similar challenges before adopting Power Platform, and used the platform to systematically address them:

Limited developer capacity
Many teams faced a large backlog of requested applications and automations that professional developers could not keep up with. Power Platform helps by:
- Enabling citizen development, so business users can build apps, workflows, and pages for everyday use cases.
- Using low-code tools to reduce development time for both IT and business users.
- Letting IT focus on high-priority, complex solutions while still governing what business users build.
Manual and inefficient processes
Before Power Platform, organizations relied heavily on manual data entry, repetitive admin work, and duplicate effort across teams. With Power Apps and Power Automate, they:
- Automated repetitive tasks and end-to-end workflows.
- Reduced rework across engineering, R&D, manufacturing, and other functions.
- Achieved up to 25% time savings per impacted employee, contributing to $44.4 million in time savings over three years for the composite organization.
Lack of visibility into operational costs
Data was often siloed, making it hard to understand inventory, supply chain, and operational spend. Using Power BI and connected solutions built on Power Platform, organizations:
- Consolidated data from multiple sources using built-in connectors.
- Identified issues like overstocked or underutilized inventory, excessive sourcing costs, and unreturned equipment.
- Rightsized operational spending, leading to $14.8 million in cost savings over three years for the composite organization.
Shadow IT and technical debt
Teams often turned to unauthorized tools or complex Excel workarounds, creating security and continuity risks. Power Platform helps organizations:
- Provide a sanctioned, user-friendly platform for building solutions, reducing the need for unsanctioned tools.
- Apply governance guardrails and security policies across apps, automations, and pages built on the platform.
- Retire legacy automation and web development solutions, contributing to $43.6 million in avoided development and IT costs over three years.

Together, these capabilities help organizations rethink how they deliver digital solutions, improve process performance, and manage risk, while keeping IT and business teams aligned on a single platform.
