with April Dunnam, Bryant Boyer, Gaston Cruz

In this episode our guests Gaston Cruz and Bryant Boyer (both of Slalom Consulting) will share with April a solution they built for one of their customers in the finance industry. Through a customer workflow discovery phase, Gaston, Bryant, and their team mapped out a solution that leverages Power BI, Power Apps embedded in the report, and Power Automate pulling and writing information into an Azure Synapse instance. Gaston and Bryant will walk through the decisions made that determined why these Microsoft products were used and how their solution has saved time and provides positive ROI for their customers. And, importantly, they will demonstrate their solution.
