Welcome to “MVP Insights,” a podcast that explores the universe, ideas, and opportunities of the brightest stars in the Microsoft business applications ecosystem. 

In episode 43, Giuseppe Ianni is joined by Cat Schneider, Senior Software Engineer, Hitachi Solutions America. Schneider discusses her passion for accessibility, Power Platform, UX/UI development and shares details on what she’ll be presenting at Summit NA 2025.

Agents & Copilots are defining the future of Dynamics, CRM, Power Platform, Azure, Fabric, and more. Register for Community Summit NA 2025, running October 19-23 in Orlando, FL, to explore and discover what this means to you.

Key Takeaways

  • Overview: “Accessibility is near and dear to my heart,” notes Schneider, and it has guided her work with the Power Platform and UI/UX development. “It’s a great joy, especially when you see all the unique and innovative ways that people are implementing accessibility and UX/UI principles.”
  • Intro to Microsoft apps: Schneider explains how she began working with Microsoft biz apps. Before Power Platform, she built early automation tools using Excel macros, including one that retrieved and processed millions of lines of EPA data weekly, streamlining a previously manual process.
  • Upcoming innovations: Being an MVP gives the ability to participate in early access programs, where Schneider previewed features like YAML code and Plan Designer in Canvas apps. She explains how Plan Designer empowers users to solve problems quickly using AI, reducing the need for traditional project scoping and enabling more independent innovation.
  • Summit NA session: Schneider will be leading a session at Summit NA 2025, on Monday, Oct. 20, “JSON: A Low-Code Introduction for No-Coders.” She explains that the goal of this session is to ease users into programming concepts without overwhelming them, making it easier to engage with the platform confidently.
