Data is at the heart of everything we do. Whether you’re in charge of a nonprofit, small business or large corporation, you can’t do what you do without reliable data. But having data isn’t enough on its own – you need to know how to capture it and collect it in a timely manner, as well as understand and use it appropriately. Fortunately, there are tools out there that will help you do this more effectively.
Microsoft Dataverse is a simple, end-to-end, secure and scalable SaaS data service. It’s available to businesses and organizations that want to gather real-time, useful business intelligence. Dataverse is part of the Power Platform, which means your business won’t have to write much code, if at all.
If you are thinking about migrating your data to Dataverse, here are the benefits you can look forward to.
Simplify data for your business or organization.
Things can get complicated when you have data coming in from multiple systems and applications, and you’re trying to create a common data storage solution. To make matters more confusing, you’ll have to create custom integrations for data that can’t be easily shared. Luckily, Dataverse simplifies this by giving users a shared data store and language.
Create data infrastructure with no coding.
Little to no coding experience is required to work with Dataverse. One issue we see with clients is that they pay to have an expensive solution set up by a third party, and then they have to keep paying the organization to keep the database running. But this isn’t the case with Dataverse. Once set up, it’s easy to continue using Dataverse, and you pay an affordable price through Power Apps.
Assign roles and secure your data.
By default, Dataverse secures your data and only allows access to users that are given the appropriate permissions. Your business or organization can determine the roles you want to give employees, as well as their individual privileges. This ensures that only authorized users can access your data. Furthermore, Dataverse includes two security models: the manager hierarchy and position hierarchy. You can learn more about these models here.
Get interactive analytics and reporting.
Dataverse can be used to gain insights and drive business action using analytics and reporting. In fact, there are a variety of ways that you can deliver data and insight to make key decisions for your business, such as by creating lightweight charts and paginated reports. The data can also be with Power BI to create and publish reports that are interactive and engaging.
Ensure a scalable solution with 99% uptime.
Dataverse is built to meet enterprise-level scalability needs, and it has a 99.9 percent uptime. To ensure that users get the best experience possible, Dataverse uses licenses and service protection limits. Licenses govern the number of requests users can make each day, and service protection limits protect against malicious behavior that could otherwise disrupt service for users.
