In this episode of the M365 FM Podcast, Mirko Peters sits down with Carike Botha (MVP) to explore the evolution of Power Apps from traditional low-code development to the emerging world of pro-code applications. The discussion challenges the common assumption that low-code platforms eliminate the n…
Breaking the Scale Barrier explores what it really takes to build scalable multi-tenant SaaS solutions with Microsoft Power Pages and Dataverse. Instead of focusing on simple customer portals or low-code demos, the episode dives into the architectural decisions that become critical once a platform …
Traditional Power Platform automation was built on deterministic logic: structured data, predictable inputs, and fixed rule-based workflows. This article explains how AI is fundamentally changing that model by introducing probabilistic systems that operate on likelihood instead of certainty. In mod…
Secure, scalable, and governed Power Platform adoption requires more than just enabling low-code tools — it demands a structured governance strategy that balances innovation, security, and operational control. In this episode of the M365.fm podcast, Mirko Peters speaks with Microsoft MVP Craig Whit…
Keith shares his background in traditional .NET and SQL development and explains why Power Apps immediately stood out to him: speed. Instead of repeatedly building the same forms, logic, and app structures manually, Power Apps allowed him to focus more on solving business problems while drastically…
In this episode of the m365.fm podcast, Mirko Peters speaks with Microsoft MVP and Microsoft Certified Trainer Nathalie Leenders about building a successful career in the Microsoft Power Platform ecosystem. Nathalie shares her journey from IT service management and support roles into SharePoint, In…
In this episode of the M365 FM Podcast, Mirko Peters talks with Lukas Pavelka about the future of enterprise app development, AI-assisted coding, and the growing connection between Figma and Microsoft Power Platform. Lukas shares his journey from Java development into building tools like PowerApps …
The episode argues that Managed Environments in the Power Platform often fail to deliver on their promise because organizations misunderstand what they actually solve. They are introduced as a governance layer meant to bring control, visibility, and order to low-code environments—but in practice, t…
This episode discusses how organizations can securely share business data with users outside their organization using Microsoft’s Power Platform. The main focus is on designing the right architecture rather than simply enabling access.Nicholas Hayduk (MVP) explains that external users should no…
The episode talks about how automation is evolving from simple scripts into more advanced, intelligent systems that can monitor themselves and fix problems automatically. Instead of just executing predefined tasks, modern automation uses telemetry data (like logs, metrics, and traces) to understand…
The episode argues that legacy Power Apps portals (now Power Pages) and similar older solutions act as a “silent budget killer” inside organizations. They continue to run and consume resources, but deliver little ongoing value.The core issue is not just the technology itself, but the way these …
The episode argues that Power Platform itself is not the real risk—poor governance is. Many organizations blame low-code tools for creating chaos, but the issue actually comes from a lack of structure around how those tools are used.Shadow IT existed long before Power Platform, through tools li…
This episode argues that custom connectors in Power Platform and Logic Apps, while useful for quick wins, create long-term architectural problems at scale. What initially feels like agility turns into fragmentation, poor governance, and hidden operational risk.The core issue is what the speaker…
The episode argues that traditional software development—built on hard-coded, monolithic systems and long delivery cycles—is no longer viable for modern enterprises. What used to be considered “enterprise-grade” is now a bottleneck that slows innovation and increases business risk.A key idea is…
In this episode, the host shares insights from auditing ten Power Platform Centers of Excellence (CoEs) and explains why many of them fail. The core issue isn’t the technology itself, but outdated governance approaches that rely heavily on manual reviews, documentation, and approval boards. These p…
In this episode of the M365 FM Podcast, the traditional role of the Microsoft 365 admin is challenged. Instead of acting as gatekeepers who manually approve, control, and fix everything, admins must shift toward designing automated systems that govern access, lifecycle, and security at scale. The e…
This episode explains why Power Automate often creates more problems than it solves when used at scale. While it works well for simple, user-driven tasks, it breaks down with complex workflows due to throttling, weak error handling, and limited scalability.The core message: automation doesn’t f…
Frictionless automation feels efficient, but it can quietly create chaos. When systems remove effort and decisions become automatic, organizations lose visibility into how things actually work. Instead of improving control, automation can hide complexity and shift decision-making into the system it…
Stop wiring every business rule into fragile workflows. In this episode, we break down why complex logic does not belong in Power Automate flows and how an orchestration-first architecture changes everything. You will learn how to move decisions into a durable control plane, keep workflows lightwei…
Build your first Power App step-by-step—from initial idea to a fully working solution. This episode of the M365.fm podcast explains how to turn a simple business need into a functional app using Microsoft Power Apps, even with little or no coding experience. It walks through the core process: defin…
Dataverse is the core data foundation behind Power Platform apps, not just a database. This episode explains how it provides structured, secure, and scalable data storage with built-in relationships, logic, and governance. The key message is that your data model is what truly determines whether you…
This episode explains that most Power Platform solutions fail not because of the technology, but because teams start with the wrong mindset—jumping straight to “let’s build an app” instead of first understanding the actual business problem and system behind it. It emphasizes that the Power Platform…
