Frederik Gregers: Adding Power to the Power Platform team!

Can you briefly tell us about who Frederik is outside of the office?

A busy man with both feet planted in the Danish countryside, just a few miles from Århus. In my spare time, I spend a fair amount of time in various recreational organizations - other than that I enjoy geeking out over new and quirky IT niches and being socially active with my friends.

What made you choose to work at BE-terna?

First and foremost, the freedom you have to act on your suggestions and solutions, as well as the expectations put on you. To be more concise, you're expected to be on your A-game, adaptable, and unafraid to take chances. This provides an opportunity for one to grow, both in terms of technical know-how and consultant mindset.

What does your day-to-day look like as a Power Platform Specialist?

Much of my daily work right now consists of meetings with clients, workshop facilitation, analysis, and automation of processes, configuration, and a bit of coding from time to time.

You don't always need state-of-the-art technology to create value. Sometimes, a simple tool to aid efficiency, and allow your employees to focus on their core tasks is enough.

Can you describe Power Platform using 3 key phrases, and explain your choices?

1. Easy scalability
- You don't always need state-of-the-art technology to create value. Sometimes, a simple tool to aid efficiency, and allow your employees to focus on their core tasks is enough.

2. Rapidly evolving digital businesses and 'Time to market'.
- Traditionally speaking, the task of implementing IT-systems is associated with high costs and slow-moving progress. With Power Platform, these associations are a thing of the past, as the development time and resource-demand on key employees are significantly reduced.

3. A more business-driven development.
- The business gains way more authority to influence the solutions that are being developed and tailored to them. It provides much more value to the business if they have a greater say in what a system should be able to do, as well as having more insight into the development process itself.

What is the main benefit of Power Platform for a growing business?

You gain substantially more agility, and, as a result, become more flexible and adaptable to new expectations from your customers, employees, and partners. Power Platform is especially valuable in markets or business areas where the pace of change is faster than usual, to both support an optimization of internal operations, as well as customer-oriented offers.
