A company uses Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365 Sales. The company does not have any developers on its staff. You need to explain to the executives the benefits of using Power Platform apps. What are two benefits? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

The Microsoft Power Platform is designed to empower users, including those without development skills, to build custom solutions. Power Apps provides a low-code/no-code environment, enabling business users to create custom applications tailored to specific departmental needs, directly addressing the company's lack of developers. Power Automate specializes in creating automated workflows that connect disparate applications and services. A primary benefit is its ability to seamlessly integrate and share information between Microsoft 365 applications (like SharePoint or Teams) and Dynamics 365 Sales, streamlining business processes without requiring custom code.

A. Sending emails is a native function within Dynamics 365 Sales and does not highlight a unique benefit provided by the Power Platform.
D. The Power Platform is designed to be cross-platform; its applications run on various devices (iOS, Android, web), so unifying to one vendor is not a requirement.
