Who Wish to Utilize Microsoft Power Platform for Internal Production

2022.05.18

Pressrelease

Japan Business Systems, Inc. (Headquarters: Minato Ward, Tokyo; President: Yukihiro Makita; hereinafter, “JBS”) has started offering “Step-up Training for Microsoft 365” for users and “Operation Management Master for Microsoft 365” for administrators. These training services assist corporations in reliably spreading the use of Microsoft Power Platform(*) (hereinafter, “Power Platform”) inside of the company.

  • What is Microsoft Power Platform? : A low-code development platform for introducing required business mechanisms by linking with and expanding the functions of applications such as Microsoft 365 Apps and Microsoft Teams.

Background of Service Provision

Power Platform enables on-site employees themselves to internally produce business automation using low-code development. Fast reform is achieved by having employees themselves create and use functions required for business.
However, it is possible to perform on-site work even without automation, so it is difficult for employees to understand the merits of automation. As a result, we have received an increasing number of consultations from customers regarding the inability to promote usage. In such cases, it is necessary for the company to consciously create opportunities so that each employee understands the need for Power Platform and can enthusiastically promote reforms.

JBS has experience in introducing Power Platform to customers and also uses the application ourselves. Based on this experience, JBS recognizes the importance of following the learning steps of “recognition, acquisition of knowledge, and practice” so that employees will become familiar with Power Platform and be able to use the application. These steps are essential for on-site internal production.

Preparing Training Services Appropriate for Both Users and Administrators

Step-up Training for Microsoft 365 is intended for users. The training content is designed based on the customer’s business scenario, and training is provided by carefully considering what is optimal for each customer. Through content that is tailored to employees, the training makes it easy for each employee to understand the importance of automation and to encourage the usage of Power Platform.

On the other hand, when providing an environment for using applications produced internally by employees, a variety of risks will be encountered if the administrator fails to prepare by considering how to conduct operation and management. Unlike other systems, Power Platform is a product that is first used by preparing an application to be used after introduction. Therefore, it also requires appropriate measures as the scope of usage expands.

In order to skillfully use such a product and make it an indispensable system for a company while maintaining a balance between freedom and management of use, simply understanding the product capabilities is not enough; instead, it is also important to understand precautions when conducting operation and management. Operation Management Master for Microsoft Power Platform is intended for administrators at corporations that have introduced Power Platform. In the training, administrators systematically study important points and learn to put that knowledge to actual use.

Step-up Training for Microsoft 365

This training is for users and aims to encourage them to incorporate Power Platform and other Microsoft 365 products into their work. JBS maximizes the training effect by ascertaining the customer’s situation in order to plan and provide the optimum training plan.
