» Erfahren Sie mehrA lot of people think the Power BI team is strictly focused on the visualization of data, but actually Power BI sits within a larger organization called Business Application Platform Innovation (BAPI) whose charter is to not just make data actionable through visualization, but also to simplify the automation and acquisition of that data. To that end the team has built Microsoft PowerApps for acquisition and Microsoft Flow for automation. On November 7, 2016, we’ll be hosting a webinar to announce Microsoft Flow General Availability. In this webinar, Group Program Manager Stephen Siciliano will show how Microsoft Flow is an easy-to-use product that helps you set up automated workflows between your favorite apps and services. You can synchronize files, get notifications, collect data, and much more. For preview customers already familiar with Microsoft Flow, Stephen will also cover the changes for release and how you can take advantage of using Microsoft Flow for production applications.
