Agenda

6.00pm – 6:30pm Setup and Join

6:30pm - 7:30pm Rebooting your Data Strategy with the Power Platform & Office365 (Mark Hayes)

For many businesses setting up a data analysis platform can be expensive. If you have relatively small numbers of users, the costs can appear prohibitive. This is no longer the case with the Power Platform.
This session is based on real-life customer implementations where they migrated from their Excel and custom line of business based reporting solutions towards the Power Platform. We show how we started with Power BI and evolved into a comprehensive solution that combines SharePoint Online, Team and Power Automate with PowerBI to provide an end to end reporting solution.

Format - PowerPoint with plenty of demonstrations of how this system was built and how you can start approaching this type of project.

Technologies covered
• Power BI
• Power Automate
• Teams
• Sharepoint Online
• Excel

7:30pm - 7:35pm Comfort Break

7:35pm – 8:35pm Power Apps with a hint of Power BI (Matt Weston)

In this session we will look at the capabilities of Power Apps as an introduction. From there we will investigate the relationship and co-working between Power Apps and Power BI.

Matt Weston
I have been working with SharePoint since 2007 following a baptism of fire which converted me from a .NET web developer to a SharePoint Developer. Since then I have continued to specialise in SharePoint, working with all versions back to 2003, and have now become completely immersed within the Office 365 platform.

I have worked on a massive variety of projects from small SharePoint farm implementations to large scale highly available farms with disaster recovery strategies, as well as SharePoint Online, Teams, Flow and PowerApps projects to showcase the latest and greatest technologies offered by Microsoft.

I am one of two regional leaders for the Office 365 and SharePoint User Group in the West Midlands, UK, and love nothing more than to present myself at user groups, or SharePoint Saturdays.
