1. Case study:

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the education sector in various ways. As many organizations were not prepared to move the operations, research and development to remote working options as tracking them were business-critical. One such academic institution was Purdue University. To address this problem, Carrie Berger, Associate Dean for Research at Purdue University, approached Microsoft and asked, “What would be the right solution to solve this issue?”

Microsoft Power Platform and education teams partnered with Purdue University to create a Power Platform solution template for tracking the financial impact related to COVID-19, which could also be used to track the impact of any crises or disruption. How various products of Power Platform help a large organization’s education system in times of pandemic is not a mystery anymore. Read the full article on the case study here.
