How the CoE Starter Kit can help you deliver a governance model that works
Join Senior Solution Architect Kieran Holmes (Capgemini) and Lead Product Manager Emma Shaw (Defra UK) as they talk through how they have introduced an effective governance model for ~30,000 users on the Power Platform, utilizing and extending Microsoft’s Centre of Excellence Starter Kit.
In this session they will provide real-world insights into what a governance model for Power Platform looks like, why they believe everyone needs one in order to scale effectively, and how to get started designing one for your organisation. Hear how the CoE Starter Kit is a good first step towards achieving governance, but how it is very much a ‘starter’ and relies on YOU to maintain, extend and update it as a product (not a project!).
They’ll highlight their favourite bits available out-of-the-box and talk about where they have extended the tooling to meet Defra’s needs.
Finally, they will share their lessons learned and the valuable things they know now, that they wish they knew at the beginning of the journey – saving you time and headaches!
Enterprise Low-Code – The Time is NOW!
Enterprise low-code platforms are maturing rapidly and with many of the big players continuing to invest heavily in their products, now is the time to re-consider what you thought possible with low-code in the enterprise setting and accelerate your adoption journey.
Join João Zorro (Head of Microsoft Apps and Cloud Engineering at Capgemini UK) and Kieran Holmes (Microsoft Power Platform FTRSA) as they walk you through some of the most frequently asked questions, such as ‘what is enterprise low-code?’ and ‘what can it do for my business?’. Learn how enterprise low-code can reduce the total cost of application ownership and help you to overcome global talent shortages.
Understand the important differences between enterprise low-code platforms and ordinary low-code platforms and give yourself the confidence to ask the right questions when reviewing offers.
Hear how enterprise low-code development now goes hand-in-hand with pro-code development, and how these fusion apps can be used to tackle the larger, more complex mission-critical scenarios.
If you want to enable your organisation to build cloud native applications and get them to market fast – then be sure not to miss this session!
Power Platform Pipelines: ALM Done Automagically
Get Makers back to making and learn how to start letting Pipelines in Power Platform do the rest! Begin configuring automated deployment pipelines in minutes rather than days or weeks. Regardless of current knowledge or where you're at in your ALM journey, Pipelines intuitive user experience allows for easy automated deployment of your solutions. Achieve deployment Zen, by letting Pipelines pre-validate your solution against the target environment, picking up on any missing dependencies and giving you the chance to configure and validate connection/environment variables upfront before your deployment begins.
Lowering the overall cost of ownership, Pipelines in Power Platform can significantly increase productivity and reduce the overall time spent manually deploying solutions; allowing product teams to bring better quality solutions to market faster than ever before. Achieve compliance, governance and monitoring goals with out-of-the-box analytics and reporting, while increasing your Makers awareness of best practice application development. Implement a tailored change management process across your organization or team with minimal effort and without the dependency on pro-devs.
Join our 2 speakers as they walkthrough the benefits of leveraging ALM in the most accessible way yet and showcase the practical use cases of automated deployments.
