Advanced topics include task flows, mobile management, Power BI Data Modeling, DAX, and ETL concepts, along with data management, visualizations, and data acquisition from diverse sources. The course concludes with a summary and best practices. This course is structured into two modules, each containing Lessons and Video Lectures. Learners will engage with approximately 5:00-6:00 hours of video content, covering both theoretical concepts and hands-on practice. Each module is supplemented with quizzes to assess learners' understanding and reinforce key concepts. Course Modules: Module 1: Enterprise Data Management – Dataverse, APIs, and Power BI Module 2: Optimizing Microsoft Power Platform – From Dynamics 365 to Power BI Minimum 1–2 years of experience in working with Microsoft Power Platform, Dataverse, Dynamics 365, and Power BI is recommended. Candidates with a foundational understanding of Power Platform integrations, data modeling, and business intelligence can take this course to advance their skills and prepare for enterprise-level solutions. By the end of this course, a learner will be able to: - Integrate Dataverse Web API with Azure services like Service Bus, Event Hub, and Azure Functions. - Process Dataverse-triggered events using serverless Azure Functions. - Build and design Power BI dashboards and reports for business insights. - Administer Dynamics 365 environments, tenants, and mobile solutions effectively. - Implement task flows within Dynamics 365 for optimized operations. - Apply Power BI data modeling, DAX, and advanced visualizations for impactful reporting.
