Editorial Reviews
Review
“This book is suitable for solution architecture and decision-makers on how to implement a new project and understand more of the Microsoft Power Platform architecture. It provides a solid understanding of how Microsoft 365 and Power Platform work together and offers detailed information on the architecture. The book started by layering the topic’s foundation and gradually deep diving into each section. While it has a theoretical approach, it also provides real-world scenarios to bring the theories to life and demonstrate how architecture operates in practice.”
Mary Angiela Cerbolles, Dual Microsoft MVP | Productivity Analyst at Foot Locker Asia Pacific
“We can no longer view each application as a single entity, but rather must work using the entire ecosystem of Power Platform, Dynamics 365, and Azure. This book gives you the ability to visualize it all. I especially liked the inclusion of how to manage version control and the life cycle of our Power Platform applications, which is often forgotten. The coverage of the issue of security is also very important, since in the end it is the data of our company that we are working with.”
Roberto Corella, MVP Business Applications | MCT | Business Central & Power Platform Developer
“This is an extremely well written 2nd edition with updated and refreshed content to bring it up to date with the latest changes in the Microsoft Business Applications world. Having a guide as solid as this one to hand makes life a lot easier for architects and provides an instant way to check on design, methodology, best practice and more. If you’re designing solutions with Microsoft Power Platform and Dynamics 365 then this book should be on your bookcase in some form!”
Mike Hartley, Microsoft MVP & MCT| Senior Solutions Architect – Capgemini
“Through this book, Robert provides an overview that spans beyond architecting a Power Platform solution. His holistic view of the entire Microsoft 365 and Azure ecosystem, coupled with the stages from architecture to implementation, leaves little unanswered in terms of building enterprise-level Power Platform solutions.”
