As businesses look to modernize their line of business applications Microsoft Power Platform is the tool of choice to accelerate and implement digital transformation. Microsoft Power Platform is made up of Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI and Power Virtual Agent. Microsoft Dataverse is a key component of the Power Platform and provides for data storage and related business logic execution. Dataverse implements Microsoft's Common Data Model (CDM) allowing it to be part of the data fabric in an organization with a common way of describing core business data. In this book, we are focused on using Microsoft Dataverse to build business applications. Specifically, we will look at the capabilities required to build data models for real world business applications. These applications can be built by power users (e.g.

Joe or Sue from accounting) or by professional app makers whose job is focused on building Power Platform solutions.
