What you will learn

In this book, you’ll learn about the high-level decisions and approaches that will be needed in any enterprise solution project.

The book begins with a run-down of all the Power Platform, Dynamics 365, Microsoft 365, and Azure components that could possibly be needed in your architecture. You will learn to identify which components should be selected for your project.

Then you will learn how to combine all these components into a fully-fledged solution. This includes overviewing the tools and techniques you can employ to connect components as well as observing application lifecycle management (ALM) practices and diagrams to create a sustainable solution.

Finally, you’ll learn how to integrate the solution into a company’s IT infrastructure. You’ll be presented with some important questions to answer when determining the best way of performing the integration. Best practices will also be presented for migrating data from legacy systems into Dataverse.
