Microsoft Power Platform in practice

In this episode, I’m joined by Dirk Zekveld, Microsoft Power Platform specialist at Capgemini. 

We dive into a topic that is high on the agenda for many organizations: how to truly accelerate with low-code and AI — without losing control.

What to expect:

👉 What the Microsoft Power Platform can concretely bring to organizations

👉 Why now is the moment to invest — and what the risk is if you wait

👉 How Capgemini helps clients combine scale, governance, and speed

👉 Where the real business value lies: from “first wins” within 90 days to long-term transformation

👉 Practical use cases across operations, customer engagement, and finance, including measurable impact

👉 How to set up ALM & DevOps for low code in a mature way (pipelines, testing, monitoring)

👉 Which roles you need to move fast without creating technical debt

👉 When to choose Dataverse (and when not to), and how to integrate with core systems

👉 How to approach TCO/ROI realistically — including hidden costs

👉 And of course: where AI already delivers tangible value, and the risks you need to mitigate

💡 What stood out to me: organizations that get the Power Platform right don’t just accelerate delivery — they fundamentally change how business and IT collaborate.
