The Product

The rapid growth of the Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Virtual Agent, Power BI, Power Pages), is fueled by organizations across the globe investing in leveraging low-code/no-code development models to accelerate their digital transformation ambitions. Power Platform is a strategic new growth area for Microsoft, but more importantly, it is a disruptor technology that is giving “Fusion Teams” of Low Code and Pro Code makers access to tools and technologies, to create next generation of business productivity software via radically simplified experience and without requiring extensive and costly training. It is transforming careers of ‘citizen developers’, making pro-developers far more productive and helping IT finally innovate at the pace that their businesses expect. To boost Power Platform to scale to millions of 'citizen developers', we are investing in Power Pages – an early emergent-stage product within Power Platform suite currently used by customers to enable collaboration with users both internal and external to their organizations. We are early in our journey to innovate on Power Pages product, innovate and infuse AI into all services and experiences and closely integrate with Data, shaping it to be the #1 enterprise platform for creating and hosting business websites to drive usage to 1 Billion users and incremental revenue and value for Power Platform.
