Using Azure AI in Low Code Solutionsende

Generative AI and its possibilities are fascinating. But how can this technology be implemented quickly in a company? How about a low-code solution? That's right, such a solution makes AI tangible. Whether it's chat completion with GPT and Azure OpenAI or Azure AI Document Intelligence, anything is possible.

All of these services have an API that we can use in Power Apps or Power Automate Flows. In my talk, I explain the basics of these services. Furthermore, I demonstrate how to create HTTP requests and build custom connectors. I show simple examples of solutions and explain how they can be realised in the shortest possible time.

Get inspired!

Power Platform ALMende

In my presentation, I will explain the basics of a well-structured development process through Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) for the Power Platform. You will learn how to organize components in solutions and understand the purpose of environment variables and connection references.
Additionally, I will introduce helpful tools like Microsoft's Power Platform Pipelines, which enable you to transport solutions between Dataverse environments even without technical expertise.
Whether you are a professional or a citizen developer, everyone can benefit from a well-structured development process and ALM.

ALM für Citizen Developers & Adminsen

Pipelines in der Power Platform eines der Highlights des letzten Jahres. Sie senken die Einstiegshürde für Application Lifecycle Management in Dataverse.

In meiner Session lernt ihr dieses neue Feature kennen. ich zeige euch, wie ihr eure Power Apps und Power Automate Flows verpackt, Power Pipelines einrichtet, verwendet und eure Lösungen von eurer Entwicklungsumgebung über Test in die Produktiv-Umgebung transportiert.

The Power of Virtual Tablesen

Virtual Tables are amazing and that's a fact! A great example is Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and it's integration story. That opens lots of possibilities for real world business cases.

On the other hand, this technology is so cool that you are able to integrate also data providers outside of Microsoft's universe. Let's imagine my external data is hosted in AWS Cloud. I show you a way to make this data available in Dataverse and Dataverse for Teams. You think that even a combination with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central data is impossible - no, it is not.

There are many business cases where virtual tables can be the cornerstone. Join my session to see what is possible!

Various flavors of Power Platform ALMen

Application Lifecycle Management is important and helps to nurture and govern your Dataverse environments. Whether you are Pro or Citizen Developer, everyone is part of this process. What differs are the tools and technologies.

In my session I will explain some necessary basics important for all your stakeholders. Furthermore, I show multiple ways to apply this process. Start with "In-Product-ALM" by using "Power Pipelines" to a professional approach with the ALM Accelerator for Power Platform (AA4PP from CoE Starter Kit) involving Azure DevOps.

Microsoft Power Platform Center of Excellence (CoE) Starter Kiten

Microsoft say's: "The Center of Excellence (CoE) Starter Kit is an open source set of templates that are designed to help develop a strategy for adopting, maintaining and supporting the Power Platform, with a focus on Power Apps and Power Automate" but what does it mean?

Join my session to get an understanding of the included CoE Starter Kit solutions and components. I will explain and demonstrate, how you can use the included Power Apps and Power BI reports to manage and maintain your growing Dataverse.

ALM Accelerator for Power Platform [CoE Starter Kit]en

Microsoft's Center of Excellence Starter Kit provide amazing components to leverage the adoption, administration, governance and nurturing of the Power Platform. An important one is the ALM Accelerator for Power Platform. This solution helps Makers as well as Pro-Developers to establish an enterprise grade Application Lifecycle Management process for their Dataverse solutions.

In my session you gain a brief understanding of the ALM basics in Dataverse. I will explain why it makes sense to have a clear environment strategy. Furthermore I'll show you, how I use solutions to pack and transport my PowerApps and Power Automate flows between my Dataverse environments. After clarifying these concepts, I will give you a deep-dive into Microsoft's ALM Accelerator for Power Platform. I explain in demos, how a fully automated ALM process works.

90 Minutes Session

Power Automate Flows as APIen

With Power Platform, you can accelerate the implementation of new ideas. In other words, not everything has to be programmed as an App Service, you can use Power Automate Flows instead.
But what do you do when you just need a reliable endpoint or interface to another application?

In my session, I will demonstrate how you can create an API using API Management Gateway. I explain how to transform API calls using policies and forward them to Power Automate Flows.

Of course, there are other considerations why and when you can use such techniques.... more about this in my session!

The world of AI in Azure: Chatbots and RAGende

From the idea to a scalable AI solution with Azure AI Studioen

The initial excitement of Generative AI quickly gives way to frustration in reality. Questions like these immediately arise:
- Why doesn't it work like in the Proof of Concept?
- Why are my users dissatisfied?
- How can I improve my AI solution?
- How can I use my solution in the company?

You are not alone, because this has happened to me too and I've learnt from it. In my presentation, I will explain how to prevent such problems with a well-structured development process. I will show you how to use Azure AI Studio to turn an idea into a scalable AI solution.
In addition to the AI development process, I will explain how to correctly incorporate requirements for the operation and maintenance into a solution architecture. This ensures a successful and sustainable implementation of the AI solution in the company. Finally, I will give you an outlook on how to transition the AI development process into AI application lifecycle management.
