What Is Microsoft Dataverse?
Microsoft Dataverse is a cloud-based data storage and management platform that is an integral part of the Microsoft Power Platform. Formerly known as the Common Data Service (CDS), Microsoft Dataverse allows organizations to securely store and manage business data from various sources, such as Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365 applications, and custom apps built with Power Apps. It serves as a central data repository where data can be stored in a structured manner, enabling seamless integration and data sharing across different applications and services within the Microsoft ecosystem.
With Microsoft Dataverse, businesses can create custom entities to represent their data, define relationships between entities, and enforce data validation rules. This provides a unified and consistent data model, making it easier to build cross-platform applications and reports. The platform also includes a wide range of built-in connectors, allowing users to integrate external data sources and services for a holistic view of their data. Microsoft Dataverse provides robust security and access controls, ensuring data privacy and compliance with industry standards. It empowers organizations to leverage their data effectively, enabling better decision-making, automation, and innovation across their digital landscape.
