Business process platform is a reference architecture demonstration built on Microsoft low-code product Power Platform.

1. Demonstrate how to leverage the full capability of Power Platform to build a centralized process solution including a server side platform and a sample client
2. By designing this process platform to decrease delivery effort and cost for enterprise, meanwhile increase process operation efficiency.

1.Abstract the process pattern to build a describable process rule. image

2. centralize the process design and operation in one single platform rather than seperate business application, a sort like BPM.

3. Isolate the process data and logic from business data to maximize the resuability of this platform. image

4. To support wide range of client application, not limit to Power Platform low-code applications, also provide the WebAPI to support 3rd party applications. image

The solution requires at least 1 environment with Dataverse enabled for Process Platform Server solution. and client environment by your client application requirement.

The centrailized process engine and operation center, only need to deploy once and recommended to deploy in a dedicated environment.
