About Microsoft
Microsoft Corporation is an American multinational technology corporation that produces computer software, consumer electronics, personal computers, and related services. Its best-known software products are the Microsoft Windows line of operating systems, the Microsoft Office suite, and the Internet Explorer and Edge web browsers.
In 2019, the high-tech giant renamed Microsoft Flow as Power Automate and added Robotic Process Automation features to Power Automate, thus entering the RPA market. Two years later, the company was recognized by Gartner as one of the four Leaders in the RPA domain alongside with UiPath, Blue Prism, and Automation Anywhere. Microsoft offers its Power Automate software at a much more compelling price than other RPA players. With its worldwide channel presence (it sells its products and services in over 180 countries), significant quota-carrying sales headcount, Microsoft might become a dominant provider of RPA tools.

Microsoft Power Automate is cloud-based software that allows employees to create and automate workflows and tasks across multiple applications and services without the help of developers. Automated workflows are called flows. To create a flow, the user specifies which action should take place when a specific event occurs. Microsoft Power Automate automates everything, from simple push notifications and content management to complex business processes with defined steps. Once a flow has been built, it can be managed on a desktop or via an app on a mobile device. Power Automate can be integrated with various Microsoft services and apps, including Power BI, PowerApps, Dynamics 365, and Office 365.
