Excel Is NOT Your Database: Stop The Power Apps Lie

M365.FM - Modern work, security, and productivity... ·

2025/12/01

Excel is powerful—but it is NOT a database. And if your Power Apps still run on an Excel workbook, you are seconds away from data loss, concurrency collisions, governance gaps, and a credibility crisis you will not see until it’s too late. In this episode, we break down the biggest lie Power Apps makers tell themselves:“Excel is fine for now.”It isn’t. It was never meant to handle multi-user writes, relational integrity, or auditable governance. You’ll learn why your spreadsheet behaves like a

2025/11/30

It’s not misbehaving; it’s overwhelmed. Your Conditional Access is trying to protect you while juggling mixed messages and unresolved exceptions. It’s been asked to trust without boundaries.Here’s the plan. We’ll diagnose three trust wounds—over-broad exclusions, device compliance gaps, and token theft paths—and give you a calming baseline, a safe test plan, and monitoring alerts. If you’re running “allow-by-default,” you’re leaking trust and inviting silent bypasses. There’s a mistake that locks

2025/11/30

AI agents are shipping faster than your change control meetings, and the governance is… a vibe. You know that feeling when a Copilot ships with tenant-wide access “just for testing”? Yeah, that’s your compliance officer’s heartbeat you’re hearing. Today, I’m tearing down the mess in LangChain4j and Copilot Studio with real cases: prompt injection, over‑permissive connectors, and audit gaps. I’ll show you what breaks, why it breaks, and the fixes that actually hold. Stay to the end—I’ll give you the

It started with a warning—then silence. The GPU bill climbed as if the accelerator never slept, yet outputs crawled like the lights went out. Dashboards were green. Customers weren’t.The anomaly didn’t fit: near‑zero GPU utilization while latency spiked. No alerts fired, no red lines—just time evaporating. The evidence suggests a single pathology masquerading as normal.Here’s the promise: we’ll trace the artifacts, name the culprit, and fix the pathology. We’ll examine three failure modes—CPU

Stop Fixing Legacy Java—Let the AI Do ItStill hand-upgrading legacy Java? That’s not craftsmanship; that’s unpaid penance. Manual modernization is a failure mode—slow, error-prone, and permanently behind. The truth? AI agents now handle the drudgery with receipts.Here’s what you actually get: time back, CVEs gone, and cloud bills that stop bleeding. We’ll walk a narrative case study—stack, benchmarks, results—plus a full audit trail so governance can breathe. There’s one metric that embarrassed

The Secret Architecture That Makes AI Agents Actually...

M365.FM - Modern work, security, and productivity... ·

2025/11/28

Most people think AI agents fail because of weak prompts. Not true. Prompts guide reasoning—but executors, validation, and workflow graphs are what guarantee reliability. In this episode, we reveal the architecture behind stable, predictable, enterprise-ready AI agents using Microsoft 365 Graph, Azure OpenAI, and Copilot Studio. You’ll learn why traditional prompt-only agents hallucinate tools, break policies, and silently fail—and how a contract-first, validator-enforced architecture fixes

2025/11/28

In this episode, we break down the real reason most Copilots fail inside the Power Platform: context debt. Your model isn’t hallucinating because it’s dumb—it’s guessing because you starved it. We walk through a complete, repeatable context engineering blueprint for Copilot Studio and Power Automate, designed to eliminate hallucinations, reduce cross-tenant drift, and dramatically cut latency and cost. You’ll learn how to build the four-layer spine every enterprise Copilot needs: System Context,

The 1400 Connector Lie: Why Azure Logic Apps Beats...

2025/11/27

Most teams assume that more connectors = more power. Microsoft markets “1,400+ connectors” as a universal automation buffet—but in the real world, that’s a vanity metric, not an architectural advantage. In this episode, we break down why Azure Logic Apps consistently outperforms Power Automate in enterprise scenarios that require:VNet-secured hybrid connectivityHigh-volume API orchestrationAzure Monitor + App Insights observabilityRBAC and Azure Policy-controlled governanceAI agents backed by Azure

2025/11/27

Power Automate has dominated Microsoft 365 automation for years—but everything just changed. In this episode, we break down the disruptive rise of Workflows Agent, the AI-driven automation engine inside Microsoft 365 Copilot that can replace entire categories of traditional cloud flows. While Power Automate remains the enterprise-grade backbone for long-running, multi-branch, highly governed workflows, Workflows Agent delivers something radically different: conversational, intent-driven automation

The SharePoint Lie That Breaks Every Power App

M365.FM - Modern work, security, and productivity... ·

2025/11/26

Many Power Apps fail for one simple reason: SharePoint Lists are not a database. They’re designed for content and collaboration—not multi-table relationships, delegation, or large-scale filtering. This episode breaks down the architectural mismatch that causes apps to stall at 2,000 records, show incomplete results, and slow to a crawl behind blue delegation banners. You’ll learn why SharePoint becomes unreliable past 5,000 items, how non-delegable formulas silently cap results, and when Dataverse

2025/11/26

You clicked “Create app from Excel,” felt clever, and accidentally scaled your chaos. It’s not your fault—Power Apps makes it look easy. But Excel isn’t a database; it’s a calculator wearing a database costume. The moment you try to operationalize spreadsheet data in Power Apps, Dataverse exposes every hidden flaw: missing keys, mixed types, ambiguous relationships, duplicate entities, orphaned rows, and silent corruption spreading behind the scenes.

Most teams trust “live data” without realizing how unstable it actually is. Your analytics are constantly mutating—ETL loads rewrite history, schema shifts break reproducibility, and dashboards refresh while pipelines are mid-write. The result? Multiple “versions of truth,” no reproducibility, broken trust, and executives asking questions you can’t answer. This episode breaks down why your data is fragile, how your architecture is setting you up for failure, and why Microsoft Fabric Warehouse

You've heard the hype: “Canvas Apps are back!”Cute story—but wrong. In this episode, we break down why Microsoft’s App Builder experience is not a rebirth of Canvas Apps but a forked, lightweight, personal-automation layer designed to sit beside—not inside—the enterprise Power Platform. We uncover what Microsoft is truly building:➡️ A personal Copilot lane optimized for speed and experimentation➡️ An enterprise Power Platform lane optimized for durability, governance, and scale➡️ A future where

Are your SharePoint agents suddenly surfacing answers that feel too honest—or worse, too exposed? It’s probably not “AI being spooky.”It’s your permissions, scope, and DLP. In this episode, we unpack why SharePoint agents leak data, why it’s almost never “hallucination,” and how to fix it with:Tight knowledge source scopingPermission and inheritance hardening in SharePointSensitivity labels + Purview DLP that actually block agentsApproval gates for agents, licensing boundaries, and data policiesA

Most organizations are training employees on Microsoft Copilot the wrong way—slides, one-off sessions, office hours, and “ultimate prompt guides” scattered across Teams. The result? Confused users, rising help-desk tickets, inconsistent adoption, shadow training materials, and zero measurable ROI. This episode breaks down why traditional training fails and how to replace it with a governed, evergreen Copilot Learning Center that scales, stays fresh, and cuts support tickets in half.

Your Power Automate email flows aren’t “automation”—they’re a compliance breach disguised as convenience. If you’re sending HR notifications, offer letters, policy updates, onboarding announcements, or termination messages using a service account, you’re operating outside modern Microsoft 365 architecture and inside constant risk.

You’ve heard it for years: “Python is the language of AI.” But inside Microsoft’s ecosystem—Power Automate, Power BI, Fabric, Microsoft 365—Python isn't the hero. It’s the friction layer. Organizations keep bolting Python onto Power Platform through Azure Functions, custom connectors, and brittle services… and then wonder why everything breaks. In this episode, we dismantle the myth that Python is the best “glue” for Microsoft workflows. You’ll learn why TypeScript-like Office Scripts + Copilot +

Copilot Is Broken Until You Do THIS

2025/11/22

Out-of-the-box Microsoft Copilot sounds confident—but in real organizations, it frequently gives generic, incomplete, or misleading answers about internal rules, DLP policies, regional SOPs, and compliance workflows. The problem isn’t the model. The problem is that Copilot doesn’t know your company’s rules, exceptions, or processes. In this episode, you’ll learn the exact fix: bring your own custom engine agent—your own specialist—into Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat using a simple manifest upgrade. We

Most Copilot rollouts fail—not because of technology, but because of people, culture, and workflow reality. In this episode, we break down the five failure modes that quietly kill Microsoft Copilot adoption inside real organizations. You’ll learn why “turning it on” isn’t enough, how leadership behaviors determine success, why governance panic stalls progress, and how targeted use cases and repeatable prompting frameworks can turn your rollout around in the first 90 days.
