Explore how Power Apps and Azure work together
Prebuilt UX components
Get apps out the door faster. Quickly create solutions on Power Apps with Azure services using prebuilt user experience (UX) components and simple frameworks. Easily add Power Apps AI capabilities—no machine learning expertise required—and any Azure elements, such as Cognitive Services.
AI Builder
Add AI capabilities with pretrained models in Power Apps that you enrich with Azure services. Or build and train your own AI models in Azure and use them alongside those provided by AI Builder in the same Power Apps.
Cost-effective enterprise resource planning (ERP) extensions
Adapt quickly to changing business needs—such as new regulations and updated compliance standards—with ERP extensions via prebuilt connectors in Power Apps, including Dynamics 365, Salesforce, ServiceNow, SAP, Workday and other premium tier connectors. Azure services expedite application delivery.
App lifecycle management
Streamline low-code app lifecycle management (ALM) with built-in continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) support in GitHub to shorten time for delivery and code changes. Have full line of sight in combined app environments when you use the GitHub Azure connector to allow CI/CD self-service for your nonprofessional developers.
Centre of Excellence and security
Promote standards and consistency with built-in guardrails provided by the Power Apps Centre of Excellence toolkit. Keep better control of app environments by also using the Azure Active Directory built-in security roles and permissions. And easily encrypt, decrypt, provision, configure, or patch your apps with Azure Key Vault.
Customisation
Build custom Power Apps with reusable components using the built-in support for command line interface (CLI) in Visual Studio Code. Add functionality and scale innovation using services such as Azure Functions, Cognitive Service, IoT Edge, and Azure Synapse Analytics.
Seamless connection
Integrate low-code apps with over 500 data sources or legacy systems via data connectors and create custom connectors using Azure API Management and Azure Functions. Scale your apps with resiliency and low latency access to data with Azure processing power.
