What we’re about
Here we discuss all things Power Platform including integrations and use cases for each module such as Power Apps, Power Pages, Power BI, Power Automate, Copilot Studios and D365 in order to drive an innovative technical community that fosters creativity.
At SPPUG, our mission is to create a welcoming and inclusive space for all individuals interested in the Power Platform. We aim to foster an environment where developers and users at every level can come together to learn, grow, and develop their skills.
With a focus on growth and development, we provide a platform for expert speakers to share their knowledge and insights. We strive to encourage open discussions about the best-kept secrets of the Power Platform, challenges faced by the community, and proactive problem-solving to address issues before they arise.
Our group is committed to ensuring a safe and supportive atmosphere where everyone feels valued and respected. We embrace diversity and believe that different perspectives lead to richer learning experiences. We actively promote inclusivity, actively seeking out and welcoming new speakers from various backgrounds and skill levels.
By fostering a collaborative community, we aim to empower individuals to harness the full potential of the Power Platform. Together, we can explore innovative solutions, share experiences, and inspire one another to achieve greater success.
Join SPPUG and be a part of a vibrant community where growth, learning, and development thrive!
Scottish Power Platform User Group are proud to present our next in person event.
We will have two speakers on the evening
Sharon Smith presents: Collapsing BizApps: the AI & Agents driving the Dynamics 365 UI/UX Revolution
As we enter the Era of Agents, the notion of Business Applications - of CRUD databases with a bunch of business logic - is collapsing.
The logic is going to agents who are multi-repo CRUD - they won't discriminate what the back end is. They will update multiple databases.
These are the paraphrased words of Satya Nadella, Microsoft's CEO, in January 2025.
So what does that mean for products such as Dynamics 365 and Power Apps that are very static UI-led?
Once all the logic is in the AI tier, what will that ultimate futuristic expression look like?
This session gets hands-on to explore the evolution already being seen as AI drives the UI/UX revolution and we pivot to the concept of the "UI for AI".
Simon Greenall presents: From Chaos to Community: Building a Makers Journey in Higher Education
In many higher education institutions, the rise of low-code development has empowered staff to become solution creators—or “Makers”—using tools like Power Apps, and Power Automate. However, without structured enablement, this can lead to inconsistent, unsupported, and potentially insecure business-critical applications.
This session explores how a UK university designed a scalable and repeatable enablement framework—The Makers Journey—to guide citizen developers from initial curiosity to confident solution delivery. Built on the foundations of community resources, Microsoft Learn, and tailored in-house content, the Makers Journey provides a structured pathway for learning, governance, and community building.
Attendees will learn how the university aligned its Makers with best practices in solution architecture, application lifecycle management (ALM), and data governance, while fostering a collaborative environment that encourages innovation and reduces technical debt.
Join us at the Poetry club on 29th July at 6pm for what is shaping up to be a fantastic event!
