If your organisation presents a lot of data to a lot of people, Microsoft Power Pages gives you a way to curate that data into modern micro-websites that deliver a great user experience.
Power Pages is useful for organisations needing to provide external users with secure access to interactive data, such as customer portals, registration sites, and community hubs.
It works best in combination with Microsoft Dataverse to align your data and Power BI for visualisations, and can be a really effective way of information sharing and customer service.
The Power Page platform makes it easier to build out-of-the-box websites that can quickly fulfil your communication needs, while allowing for custom sites to make use of corporate branding. The emphasis on no-code building and use of Co-Pilot as a natural language tool means that you don’t need to be a website expert to create sites that make a big difference.
It has never been easier to create websites that fulfil specific business needs and can create meaningful conversations with customers and members of the public.
Five use cases for Power Pages that highlight its potential.
Public Service Requests and Reporting Portals for Local Authorities
Local Authorities can use Power Pages to create public participation portals where residents can report issues such as potholes, street light outages, or anti-social behaviour.
These portals enable efficient service requests management, allowing users to submit, track, and update their requests, while integrating with backend systems for streamlined response handling.
Patient Portal for NHS Trusts
Power Pages can be used to develop secure patient portals that allow patients to access their health records, book appointments, communicate with healthcare providers, and manage prescriptions.
This can enhance patient engagement, improve healthcare delivery efficiency, and ensure compliance with healthcare privacy standards.
Event Registration and Management for Charities
Charities can create websites for events using Power Pages that share event information, manage attendee registration, collect feedback, and offer post-event communication.
This can be an efficient way to deliver events – once the initial Power Page site is set up, it can be replicated for all manner of occasions.
Community Engagement and Discussion Forums for Universities
Universities can use Power Pages to create course-specific platforms that encourage student engagement. These might include document libraries, space for discussions, surveys, and feedback submissions, providing a focused environment to help students thrive.
Compliance and Training Portals for Large Businesses
For businesses working across multiple locations, Power Pages can help create compliance and training sites where staff can access necessary training modules, compliance guidelines, and certification programs.
The connection to a centralised source of data makes it easy to maintain high standards of training and ensures all personnel are up to date with current standards and regulations.
Now is the time to start building Power Pages.
The process for creating Power Pages requires attention to detail in organising your data and good planning for the best user outcomes, but the possibilities for supporting customers and enhancing engagement are limitless.
