Power Automate will allow IT admins to create automated workflows that can be used to manage devices and applications. This will help to streamline common tasks and reduce the amount of manual work that IT admins need to do in order to manage their environment.
Integration with the Microsoft Graph
Microsoft is introducing integration with the Microsoft Graph, which will allow IT admins to get real-time insights into their environment. This will allow IT admins to easily identify potential security threats and take steps to mitigate them. Additionally, it will allow IT admins to quickly respond to changes in their environment, such as the addition of new users or devices.
