Enhancing Microsoft Fabric with Power Automate

Enhancing Microsoft Fabric with Power Automate
Microsoft Fabric can ingest, transform, store and then let the business analyse the data to make those important data driven decisions. The toolset includes ways to orchestrate and schedule the data journey from raw to a conformed layer and onto a reporting layer. So what does Power Automate bring to the table to enhance this?

Lets start with demonstrating how Power Automate Desktop can interact with that old legacy system to fetch the data ready for Microsoft Fabric to ingest. Then onto how to use AI Builder to extract data from documents and into Microsoft Fabric. Next we will move onto showing how Power Automate can enhance orchestration of the data journey from raw to conformed. Finally we will look how Data Activator and Power Automate work together to enhance the reflex to act in custom ways. Interweaving as we go the governance and security issues that we should be aware of.

Fun filled demo-rich session from experts in the Microsoft Fabric and Power Platform stack. Every demo will have blogs and YouTube videos supporting them.
