Comment choisir objectivement entre Dataverse, SQL Server et les listes SharePoint ?
Lors de cette session, nous examinerons les critères objectifs qui vous permettront de faire un choix éclairé entre Dataverse, SQL Server et les listes SharePoint pour la construction d'un système d'automatisation basé sur la Power Platforme.
Avant de détailler ces critères, nous vous offrirons un aperçu approfondi de l'architecture et des fonctionnalités clés de Dataverse, vous donnant ainsi les clés pour optimiser vos solutions.
Unlock the Potential of Dataverse: A Comparative Analysis with SQL Server and SharePoint Lists
In this session, we will explore the realm of data management platforms, with a particular focus on Microsoft’s Dataverse. We will examine the advantages of using Dataverse over traditional platforms like SQL Server and SharePoint List, and identify the scenarios where it is most beneficial.
We will highlight Dataverse’s unique features, including its seamless integration with the Power Platform, user-friendly interface, and robust security measures. Additionally, we will compare these features with those of SQL Server and SharePoint List to provide a comprehensive understanding of their respective strengths and weaknesses.
The goal of this session is to equip you with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions about the most suitable data management platform for your specific needs, thereby enhancing efficiency and productivity in your operations. Whether you are an experienced professional or new to the field, this session will offer valuable insights into the dynamic world of data management platforms.
Power Platform for professional developers with Doctor Flow
The Power Platform is a low-code SaaS platform that allows many people to create small to medium size applications. But some of these applications can quickly become unmaintainable, insecure, and not scalable. After using the platform almost every day for six years, we have defined a set of good practices for Power Users and professional developers embracing this platform. Keeping it simple, following good patterns, and not over-engineering is essential.
However, professional developers must be aware of compelling PaaS features, like (.Net) plug-in, custom API, external events, Azure DevOps, Dataverse security, transactions, and more, that we will illustrate in this session. Therefore, this session targets Power Users who want to upgrade their skills to the next level and professional developers who have to create complex and scalable enterprise applications.
ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) for Power Users: deploy your solutions like a pro!
Join us for an exciting session with MVPs Serge Luca (aka "Doctor Flow") and Isabelle Van Campenhoudt! Discover essential ALM principles every Power Platform Power User needs to prevent corporate disasters.
Dive into practical demonstrations and discussions on Solutions, Pipelines, Azure DevOps tools, and Git integration with Power Platform solutions and Power BI. Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your skills and ensure your projects’ success!
Empower your Power Platform citizen developers with AI : a realistic approach
Get ready for an extraordinary adventure with Serge and Isabelle guiding you through the cutting-edge AI features of the Power Platform, including Power BI, AI Builder, Copilot Studio, Dataverse, and more. Witness the transformative power of AI in action and discover how it can be a game-changer for citizen developers. We will highlight the positives and negatives of each tool.
Unified Power Platform Governance - lessons learned after nine years
In this session, Isabelle Van Campenhoudt (Data Platform MVP) and Doctor Flow (Serge Luca - Business Application MVP) will propose a unified and pragmatic Power Platform governance and adoption plan that integrates Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, and now AI.
Despite the differences between Power BI and the Power Platform app creation tools, the governance and adoption challenges are similar. Traditional centralized governance approaches do not meet the flexibility needs of self-service BI and citizen developers.
The presenters will explain the advantages of a single polymorphic approach, where specific actions can be tailored to each product. Isabelle will share insights from her eight years of experience with Power BI, while Doctor Flow will draw on his nine years of experience with Power Automate, Power Apps, and, more recently, AI.
The session will include numerous real-world use cases to demonstrate how this governance model aligns with practical requirements.
Power Automate advanced patterns and best practices with Doctor Flow: be ready for 2025 !
Have you been using Power Automate for years, creating, deploying, and supporting cloud flows in production? If so, you’re ready to elevate your knowledge by attending this session.
In this intensive session, Doctor Flow (Serge Luca) will summarize and demonstrate (with numerous demos) the key features, patterns, tips, and tricks essential for excelling in Flow/Power Automate projects within the Power Platform. These practices have been validated across 31 enterprise Power Platform projects since 2016. Additionally, the session will showcase new Power Automate features introduced by Microsoft in 2024 and discuss upcoming features.
Mettre en place la gouvernance de la Power Platforme : une approche unifiée et cohérente
Lors de cette session, nous donnerons un aperçu de l'approche que nous préconisons pour mettre en place la gouvernance de la Power Platforme dans une grande organisation.
Cette approche implique tous les composants de la Power Platform, y compris l'aspect "Data" et donc Power BI. C'est ce que nous appelons une approche unifiée. Cette approche vous permettra d'augmenter le retour sur investissement de la Power Platform. Nous avons suivi cette approche depuis environ 7 ans, et l'avons peaufinée année après année, en apprenant de nos erreurs.
Designing Power Platform Solutions for 2026: proven patterns, practices, and AI Integration
The session will explore key architectural patterns such as modular application design, layered architecture, AI, and deployment strategies tailored to different environments. It will also highlight industry best practices, including key dos and don’ts. Additionally, a real-world example of complex workflow automation using a state machine integrated with AI will be demonstrated.
Designing Power Platform Solutions in 2026: Proven Patterns and Best Practices for the AI Era
This highly practical session delves into advanced architectural patterns for Power Platform solutions, including modular application design and layered architecture, with very concrete examples.
This session showcases the synergy between Power Apps vibe coding, Power Apps code apps, Power Automate, and Copilot Studio.
We’ll also explore how AI is transforming solution design, sharing industry best practices with clear dos and don’ts to help you avoid common pitfalls.
As AI becomes a core element of the low-code development lifecycle, a critical question emerges: how far should we go—and what new challenges does AI introduce? To answer this, we rebuilt a typical application both with and without vibe coding and will share the lessons learned from this comparison.
Finally, the session includes a live demonstration of a complex workflow automation powered by a state machine integrated with AI—originally created in 2025 and enhanced in 2026, delivering remarkable benefits. This example illustrates how advanced patterns and AI can work together to create scalable, intelligent solutions. Power Apps vibe coding, Power Apps code apps, Power Automate and Copilot Studio willbe dancing together in this session
Power Platform Real world Governance in the AI Era: Lessons Learned and What’s Next
The Power Platform governance is more critical than ever—especially in the age of AI.
In this session, we will share the key lessons learned from applying and continuously refining our Power Platform governance methodology across multiple (often large) organizations since 2016.
Our objective is not only to reflect on past experience, but also to evolve our governance approach to address emerging challenges.
