Microsoft is thrilled to host Build this week in Seattle. Build is the ultimate Microsoft developer event, where the most innovative minds connect to get inspired and code the future. During our Spring launch event, we announced several new features and capabilities to the Business Applications portfolio, including many updates to the Power platform that includes PowerApps, Microsoft Flow & Power BI. We’re looking forward to sharing more this week @ Build!

This event offers a wonderful opportunity to quickly get up to speed on products and functionality like the Common Data Service for Apps which is included in PowerApps. This embedded functionality allows you to rapidly build complex business applications using the same platform as Dynamics 365. And get a first look at the Common Data Service for Analytics, a new capability in Power BI that makes integrating and analyzing siloed data across apps and services simple. Learn more @ PowerApps + Power BI.

Our goal this week is to ensure that you walk away with innovative ideas and inspiration for leveraging our business applications and platform to move your solutions forward. For Microsoft, this event really offers us the chance to have a deeper conversation with our developers on how we can best support them with our tools and platforms.
