As low-code tools like Microsoft Power Platform mature, organizations see promising new options for the future of their legacy processes and systems. But when considering investments in Power Platform-enabled enhancements like new connectors, custom integrations, RPA, or custom applications, organizations shouldn't lose sight of the potential impact on managing business processes.
