Episode 141: Markus Erlandsson and Malin Martnes chatted with Edit Kapcari from ORBIS SE about Power Platform Adoption Gone Wrong. Edit started by explaining why the Why is so important and why that is the top 1 failing in adoption.

Bio

I have been part of the Microsoft ecosystem since mid-2017. My journey started as a Dynamics 365 Developer, focusing mainly on Sales with some involvement in Service. In 2018, I was introduced to Power Platform at a Microsoft Germany Partner Hackathon and helped develop a solution that predicts optimal ferry routes for logistics companies.

Today I am a Power Platform Advisor and lead an incredible team of experts at ORBIS SE, who are turning challenges into opportunities, by building innovative solutions and empowering organizations to reach new heights.

In implementation projects, I play a dynamic role, from pre-sales and sales activities to kick-off phases, transitioning to a supportive and facilitative role as the project progresses. However, when guiding organizations in adopting Power Platform and defining security guidelines, I take a holistic approach, assisting the customer throughout the entire journey, including assessing their infrastructure and needs, providing coaching and guidance on governance within Power Platform, and jointly implementing an adoption strategy encompassing Center of Excellence roles, responsibilities, delivery models, processes, culture and tools.

Episode 136: Markus Erlandsson and Malin Martnes chatted with Yannick Reekmans from Qubix about Dual write. Yannick starts by explaining what Dual write is, what it is supposed to do and how it functions, then he begins to explain how the lack of documentation is making it hard to work with this great technology, harder than it needs to be.

Bio

Yannick a Microsoft 365 & Business Applications MVP was born and raised in SharePoint, starting his career in 2011 when SharePoint 2010 was still new and shiny. The changing reality of the cloud made him expand his knowledge to the whole of Microsoft 365, Azure, and Power Platform.

Yannick is a Managing Partner and Cloud Solution Architect at Qubix, a Belgium-based consultancy firm, responsible for the technical underpinnings of products and solutions. Problem-solving and development are his passions, and he is still working day-to-day with code.

Yannick always asks the important questions: How does it work? What do you want to achieve? Does it have an API? Do we really need development for this? Where’s the coffee?
