Microsoft Power Platform Functional Consultant (PL-200) Zelfstudiepakket

Algemene omschrijving

In dit zelfstudiepakket zit het officiële cursusmateriaal, een labomgeving, MeasureUp-oefenexamen en een Microsoft-examenvoucher. Je hebt 180 dagen toegang tot de labomgeving.

Microsoft Power Platform geeft organisaties de mogelijkheid om bedrijfsprocessen te automatiseren, eigen complexe applicatie-ervaringen te ontwikkelen en sneller en beter met klanten te verbinden.

In deze training leren cursisten om de eisen te ontdekken en vast te leggen, contact te maken met materiedeskundigen en belanghebbenden en eisen vertalen om Microsoft Power Platform-oplossingen en -applicaties te configureren. Ze vullen hun leerervaringen aan met praktijkopdrachten om het volgende te maken: applicatieverbeteringen, aangepaste gebruikerservaringen, systeemintegratie, gegevensconversie, aangepaste procesautomatisering, en aangepaste visualisaties.

Microsoft Power Platform bestaat uit vier basisproducten: Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, en Power Virtual Agents. In deze training behandelen we deze vier applicaties in detail, met extra nadruk op Microsoft Dataverse, AI Builder, connectors, en portals.
