DESCRIPTION 📄
Microsoft Fabric and the Power Platform give business users low-code entry points to build solutions that solve real problems fast. These solutions may not always align with long-term architectural ideals or developer preferences, but they drive adoption, unblock teams, and often succeed where more “perfect” solutions stall.
In this session, we’ll explore how Fabric and Power Platform can work together to empower users while still keeping IT sane. Examples include lightweight databases backing Power Apps for small teams, or semantic models feeding automations that deliver insights directly to sales teams.
The focus is not on replacing professional development practices, but on enabling business developers to build responsibly, in ways that IT can support rather than clean up later. Expect practical examples, a realistic view of trade-offs, and a few short demos showing how low-code solutions can deliver value quickly without becoming tomorrow’s problem.
