Wouldn’t you want to hear how the global Power Platform Lead at a leading tech company views the future of AI and low-code technology? Andrew Gaskins from Lumen Technologies, our guest for this episode, is here to provide some compelling insights. As he shares tales of tremendous growth in the Power Platform and success stories of automation, chatbots, and apps, you won’t be able to stifle your curiosity about what's to come in the tech world. As we dive into the responsibility of today's employees to familiarize themselves with AI and other emerging technologies, you'll get a sense of how to stay competitive in the ever-evolving job market.
Onboarding new users to a platform can be a daunting task. Listen as Andrew unravels the mystery of easing newcomers into the Power Platform at Luma Technologies. He talks about adapting the 'driver's license' mentality to include more technical projects and processes, and the strategies they've put in place to make the onboarding process as smooth as possible. From their environment strategy and maturity model to their dev environments, Andrew gives us a peek behind the curtain of Luma's training and resources. What’s more, we delve into the idea of granting access to the stack and the leader role, providing a comprehensive view of the onboarding process.
As if that’s not enough, we navigate the potential of the Power Platform and its ability to help organizations with data governance. Imagine the benefits of cataloguing and tagging data and having it accessible to the right people at the right time! Andrew gets us excited about the future of low-code and no-code solutions and how AI can turbocharge the development process. As we explore our responsibilities when working with data, we glimpse the importance of understanding our domains. Andrew's vision for the next 12 to 24 months will keep you on the edge of your seat, particularly his predictions for the maker community. Join us on this exciting journey into the future of technology.
