A powerful, built-in data platform
Create enterprise-grade apps with Common Data Service—built into Power Apps.
Build faster with Common Data Service
Make it easier to bring your data together and quickly create powerful apps using Common Data Service, a compliant and scalable data service and app platform that’s integrated into Power Apps.
Built on the foundation of the common data model
By defining a set of over 200 standard business entities, the common data model makes it easier for both you and third-parties to build apps. Tailor the model to your specific business needs by extending with custom entities and fields.
Automate your apps with a business process engine
Guide people through business processes, start workflows automatically, and provide rules for your data validation using business process flows. Make your apps smarter with visually defined server-side logic that can set default values or provide validation logic.
Get a single source of truth across your organization
As Common Data Service standardizes your data through the common data model, it’s easier to build and run apps using the same data. And because Dynamics 365 applications are natively built on it, you can also build apps without needing additional data integration. All with the enterprise-grade security and manageability of Power Apps.
