Environment Strategy for Power Platforms​

When it comes to choosing between a default, shared, or dedicated environment in Power Platforms, it's important to consider the needs and requirements of your organization.​

Default Environment

A default environment is suitable for organizations that only require basic Power Platform capabilities, such as the ability to create and manage PowerApps and Flow. This type of environment is suitable for small organizations with limited budgets and resources, as it is provided at no additional cost.​

Shared Environment

A shared environment is suitable for organizations that require more advanced Power Platform capabilities, such as the ability to integrate with on-premises data sources, or to use custom connectors. This type of environment is suitable for organizations that need to share resources and data with other teams or business units.​

Dedicated Environment

A dedicated environment is suitable for organizations that require the highest levels of performance, security, and control. This type of environment is typically used by large organizations with complex requirements and is suitable for mission-critical applications.​

Ultimately, the best choice for your organization will depend on your specific needs and requirements. It's important to carefully evaluate your options and choose the environment that will best support your organization's goals and objectives.​
