Microsoft Technology Stack - The Benefits
What Are The Key Technologies of Microsoft Technology Stack?
SQL
The SQL server is Microsoft’s relational database management system. It uses encryption to deliver robust server security, managing essential tasks including data recovery, retrieval, restoration, backup and storage. The SQL installation process is straightforward and simple to understand.
SharePoint
SharePoint is a web-based platform that supports client-facing and server-side development. It supports simple integration with the page-and-part model as well as the Microsoft graph for open-source tooling. It helps software developers to develop end-to-end applications that are not Microsoft-dependent.
Dynamics 365 CRM
Microsoft’s CRM system offers a range of data-driven software solutions that can be deployed to meet the wide-ranging and specific requirements of organisations. CRM automates the marketing, sales and customer support processes, which accelerates efficiency, saves time and reduces costs.
Azure Cloud
As the cloud continues to grow in popularity, more businesses are turning to private cloud solutions like Microsoft Azure Stack.
Azure Stack is a powerful platform that offers all the benefits of the public cloud, including scalability and flexibility, while also providing the security and control of a private data centre.
Not surprisingly, Azure Stack is the second most-used private cloud platform by enterprises, with 35% of them currently running apps today.
What’s more, Azure Stack leads all others in experimentation, with one in five enterprises, or 21%, currently in that phase of deployment. With so many businesses already on board, it’s clear that Azure Stack is here to stay.
Azure Funtions
With its built-in DevOps capabilities, Azure Functions delivers event-driven serverless code functions with an end-to-end development experience. Its automated scaling frees you from infrastructure management.
Azure IoT Hub
Azure IoT Hub enables reliable and secure communications between millions of IoT devices and a cloud-based solution backend. This facilitates IoT solutions that harness the vast amounts of data generated by devices and sensors.
IoT Hub supports multiple messaging patterns such as device-to-cloud telemetry, file upload from devices, and request-reply methods to control your devices from the cloud. IoT Hub also monitors and tracks events such as device creation, device failures, and device connections. This information can be used to troubleshoot issues and improve the performance of your IoT solution.
Power BI
Microsoft Power BI is a powerful business analytics and data visualisation software that allows businesses of all sizes to bridge the gap between data and decision making.
It is built with security in mind, with industry-leading that ensure that all data and insights are protected.
Double encryption secures all data end-to-end, while suspicious behaviour patterns can be identified with the built-in oversight capabilities.
Power BI also meets compliance requirements at both a country and industry level, making it the ideal solution for businesses with sensitive data. With Power BI, companies can create and share insights with confidence, knowing that their data is safe and secure.
Dataverse
Dataverse allows you to safely manage and store data within a table of rows and columns, with a certain type of informative data stored in each column. The data is secured safely so that users can only view it if they are granted access.
Dataverse tables have strong server-side logic and validation to ensure data quality and reduce repetitive code in each app that creates and uses data within a table.
Power Platform
Microsoft Power Platform is a transformational tool for businesses of all sizes. By harnessing the power of Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power Virtual Agents, businesses can quickly and easily improve their day-to-day operations and processes.
Power Platform is accessible for users of all levels of digital skills. It is an ideal tool for those looking to analyse data, deliver personalised experiences, develop better applications or automate various processes.
As a no-code infrastructure, it allows you to build easy-to-use, mobile-friendly applications for your main business needs. The platform supports a variety of third-party systems and can be configured with other Microsoft applications.
Virtual Agent
Virtual Agent allows you to build, test and leverage sophisticated AI bots for a range of functions using a collaborative, low-code graphical interface.
You can deploy the bots securely using central administration, built-in security roles and seamless management.
Power FX
Another feature of the Power Platform, Power FX is the perfect tool for software development, regardless of experience level. For those who have never programmed before, Power FX offers a no-code solution that is easy to learn and use.
For experienced professionals, Power FX provides a pro-code solution that is robust and powerful. And for those in between, Power FX offers a variety of tools and features that make it easy to transition from one to the other. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, Power FX will save you time and expense.
Power Pages
Power Pages is a secure, enterprise-grade website solution. Being a low-code platform makes it easy to create and administer modern external business websites.
Even if you’re not a professional developer, you should be able to use Power Pages to rapidly design and configure your site.
Plus, it works seamlessly across all web browsers and devices. So no matter how your customers access your site, they’ll always have a positive experience.
Power Automate
Power Automate is a tool that can help users increase productivity and efficiency by automating data analysis and applications. Automate allows a functional flow without the need to develop code and enables users to connect two or more applications (whether from Office 365 or third parties) and perform actions that automate the most routine business processes.
Some of the functions of this tool are to move data between systems, send reminders about tasks, support data from any API, automate tasks from a local device. Power Automate can help users save time on routine tasks, freeing up time for more creative work.
